31 Mar 2025 Cadia Holdings Pty LtdCadia Holdings: 350,000 AUD for excessive dust emissions from a mine €202,102
Cadia Holdings Pty Ltd, a Newmont Mining company (formerly Newcrest Mining), was sentenced by the Land and Environment Court of NSW after pleading guilty to three offences under s 128(1)(b) of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997, because poorly operated mine exhaust fans exceeded the concentration limit for solid particles three times between November 2021 and May 2023. The court imposed fines totalling 350,000 AUD and ordered a payment of 61,500 AUD to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water (DCCEEW) for a new dust monitor in the Rural Air Quality Monitoring Network; in addition, the company must pay the EPA's costs and publish notices in three newspapers.
Emission-relevant equipment such as exhaust fans must be operated and monitored so that limits are also met in day-to-day operation.

The Gippsland steel processor (since renamed) was fined a total of 92,000 AUD (20,000, 32,000 and 40,000 AUD) by the Magistrates' Court in Latrobe after pleading guilty to three charges, and must also pay 15,836 AUD in costs. Between November 2020 and February 2023, three workers suffered serious hand injuries on machines used to bend and roll steel. Among other things, there was no additional activation safeguard besides the foot pedal, no supervision of an inexperienced operator and no working emergency stops and lockouts.
Machines with crushing hazards need working safeguards, regular maintenance and supervision of workers not yet deemed competent.
