Mining Hazards

This screen shows recorded coal mining features near the property location using data supplied by the Mining Remediation Authority. It helps identify whether historic mining activity may be relevant to the site.

Purpose of this screen

The Mining Hazards screen provides a map-based overview of recorded coal mining information within approximately 100 metres of the property.

Available map layers may include:

• Coal mining reporting areas
• Development risk areas
• Mine entries
• Specific mining risks

These layers help you see whether recorded mining-related features are present near the property. They are intended to support your desktop research and professional assessment.

How to use this screen

1. Review the property marker and surrounding map area.
2. Use the map-layer controls to show or hide available Mining Remediation Authority layers.
3. Inspect any recorded features close to the property.
4. Add relevant report commentary in the text box below the map.
5. Select AI Suggestion if you would like assistance drafting suitable wording.
6. Select Save Report to include your approved commentary in the report.

Understanding the map

The map identifies recorded mining information in the surrounding area. The presence of a reporting area, development risk area or other feature does not necessarily mean that the property has been directly affected by mining.

Equally, the absence of a visible feature does not confirm that no mining-related risk exists. The results should be considered alongside the property type, age, location, observed condition and any information available from legal searches, the seller or other specialist sources.

Important distinction

This screen contributes information to the report only when commentary is entered and saved. If no commentary is provided, neither the map data nor mining commentary will be included.

The map is provided for visual reference and desktop research purposes only. It is not a coal mining report, mining search, site investigation or professional specialist assessment.

Why this matters

Historic coal mining can be relevant to ground stability, mine-entry risk, development potential and the need for further enquiries. Recording any relevant findings helps make the report clear, proportionate and supported by the available location-based data.
