尽管有资金和新矿主加入，上亨特河的煤炭向修复转型仍滞后，这引发了环境和社区的担忧。 The Upper Hunter’s coal-to-rehab transition lags despite funding and new mine ownership, raising environmental and community concerns.

新南威尔士的上亨特地区在从煤矿开采过渡的过程中面临拖延,尽管政府承诺和提供资金。 The Upper Hunter region in NSW faces delays in its transition from coal mining despite government promises and funding. 最近向Malabar Resources公司和Bloomfield集团出售了主要矿场,使业务保持活跃,新的所有者计划继续进行地下采矿,并使用2025年9月核准的前开放空隙储存尾矿。 Recent sales of major mines to Malabar Resources and the Bloomfield Group have kept operations active, with new owners planning continued underground mining and using former open-cut voids for tailings storage—approved in September 2025. 虽然Arthur山和其他地点的复原保证金总额达4.16亿美元已经到位,而且空地将用惰性材料封盖,以减少火灾风险,但专家们警告地下废物储存可能引发长期环境问题。 While rehabilitation bonds totaling $416 million for Mount Arthur and other sites are in place, and voids will be capped with inert material to reduce fire risks, experts warn underground waste storage could cause long-term environmental issues. 社区对安全、稳定的地貌的需求仍未得到满足,该区域摆脱采矿的转变似乎比预期缓慢。 Community demands for safe, stable landscapes remain unmet, and the region’s shift away from mining appears slower than expected.
