Bengalla is an open cut mine, using a dragline, truck and excavator method. After being washed and prepared for sale, the coal is loaded onto trains for transportation 130km to the port of Newcastle where it is shipped to international customers.

Bengalla Mining Company is a joint venture ownership with Wesfarmers holding 40%, New Hope Group 40%, Mitsui 10% and Taipower 10%.

Bengalla received an initial 21 year development consent in 1996. The consent was renewed in March 2015 and extends mining through to 2039. The extraction limit approved from the mine is 15 Million tonnes per annum of run of mine coal.

Site Induction Changes

As of the 3rd of February 2020, Bengalla will be changing their induction process and transitioning to a registration site that will incorporate an eLearning online induction.

Induction requests will remain being booked through your company portal account however, the process will become more streamlined and at a reduced price. Once you have completed your registration successfully, an email will be sent with a link to complete the Bengalla site induction, restricted lock holder training and a virtual walk-around.

Once you have completed the eLearning component successfully an email notification will be sent.
