The Mining Rehabilitation Fund (MRF) is a pooled fund that Western Australian tenement holders under the Mining Act 1978 are required to contribute to through an annual levy. Where a mine operator is unable to meet their rehabilitation obligations and the site is declared abandoned, the MRF can be used.
The MRF requires tenement holders to report disturbance data by 30 June each year.
Based on this information, an assessment notice is issued to the operator with details of the levy payable.
To support those lodging their reports, the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety will have an officer from the MRF team available in the department's Kalgoorlie office from 25 to 27 June.
