The NSW Resources Regulator has published a new Rehabilitation Information Release following the successful completion of rehabilitation on part of Consolidated Coal Lease 706 (CCL706) (1973) held over the former Catherine Hill Bay coal preparation plant, coal bin, and coal stockpile areas.
In 2011, development consent was approved by the (then) Minister for Planning and Infrastructure over part of the former mining areas at Catherine Hill Bay, located about 30 kilometres south of Newcastle, NSW. The domain where rehabilitation has been completed covers approximately nine hectares of the 72-hectare approved development area, which includes a residential subdivision of about 540 lots for residential development, village reserve and recreational/open space land use pursuits.
