Works begin to restore land in Bendigo

Detailed site investigations are also underway at the former mining site on Chum Street, Bendigo, to inform future remediation and the healing of Country in partnership with the Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation (DJAARA).

Healing Country on the land will deliver long-term benefits for the Traditional Owners, the Dja Dja Wurrung people, and the wider Bendigo community.

Through this important work at Chum Street, Development Victoria is working in partnership with DJAARA to heal Country and restore the site in a way that delivers lasting benefits for the community.

The investigations are being undertaken to better understand environmental and geotechnical challenges which, in turn, will be used to develop a remediation strategy for the site.

The Bendigo community will be kept informed ahead of any planned site activities.
