Site rehabilitation and restoration
AGL continued progressive rehabilitation activities at the Loy Yang Mine during FY26, rehabilitating 10 hectares of disturbed land. Progressive rehabilitation, particularly within the north-eastern corner of the mine, remains an important component of mine closure planning, helping to restore land and support its long-term stability and future use.
Progressive rehabilitation continued at the Liddell Ash Dam, including completion of Stage 3 capping (approximately 140 ha), alongside the implementation of ongoing proactive dust and vegetation management strategies.
Rehabilitation of the final three well surface locations at the Camden Gas Project was completed to the satisfaction of government regulators, and the locations were returned to their respective landowners. Decommissioning and rehabilitation of the gas gathering lines continued on multiple properties throughout FY26.
