In parts of the country, the High Court may have issued an order allowing a mine owner or mining operator to work coal where no previous mining lease was in existence. The Court may also have made provision for the basis on which compensation should be paid for subsidence damage. The coal mining court orders dataset shows the position for each court order taken from the information held by the Authority, and includes a number of attributes relating to that feature.
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.
