Yallourn North Extension Open Cut

The Yallourn North Extension Open Cut, located in Yallourn North, Victoria, was a significant brown coal mining operation that commenced in 1955 to supplement the dwindling coal reserves at the original Yallourn North open cut. In 1989, mining activities ceased, and the site underwent rehabilitation to address surface erosion and improve stormwater runoff quality. Today, the area remains a testament to the region's industrial heritage, with ongoing efforts to restore and repurpose the land for future use.
