Summary

The probable coal workings dataset contains the locations and estimated extents of probable underground coal workings for which no recorded plan exists, but where it is possible that workable coal at shallow depths was been mined before records had to be kept.

The probable coal workings dataset is a footprint which provides information on the spatial distribution of potential hazards resulting from unrecorded past underground coal mining.

In November 2024, the Coal Authority changed its name to the Mining Remediation Authority to better reflect its mission and continued commitment to environmental sustainability, safety, and community support.
