Activit�s visant � influencer et/ou promouvoir les politiques• National and NT environment groups attended annual meetings of mine majority owner Rio Tinto (London and Melbourne) and mine operator ERA (Darwin) and formally raised the need for comprehensive rehabilitation - both companies re-committed to a full clean-up program. • The cost estimate for the rehabilitation works has been increased to up to $A 2.2 billion which better reflects the complexity of the works. There is continuing uncertainty around the mechanism ERA/Rio will use to secure the necessary rehabilitation funding. • Legislative amendments to enable ERA to access the Ranger site for required rehabilitation purposes post the current mandated January 2026 cut-off date have advanced and are now subject to Parliamentary review. Aboriginal and environment representatives have welcomed this and long called for a more realistic timeline for the rehabilitation work and related post-closure monitoring. • Operational irregularities, including the unauthorised removal or restricted waste product from the Ranger site, highlight the need for continuing scrutiny and robust regulatory oversight.
