At CRL, temporary land use is our goal.

We’re passionate about delivering innovative progressive rehabilitation programs and restoring our mined sites as close as practicable to their original landforms.

We have achieved world firsts and are renowned internationally for our rehabilitation of native vegetation and ecosystems on North Stradbroke Island’s high sand dunes.

Restoring the island’s dunes, which at 90 metres above sea level are some of the highest dunes in the world, is a complex engineering process. However, CRL employees have successfully rehabilitated several mine sites while working in confined, environmentally sensitive areas.

By re-establishing the island’s complex forests CRL is making a valuable contribution to the island’s long-term self-sustainability.

Every year we restore on average 75 hectares of land to its original form and have progressively rehabilitated almost 4,000 hectares. This is a strong track record and we’re very proud of it.

In contrast, other mining companies are more likely to rehabilitate unwanted materials above-ground when their mining operations end.
