This report presents the research findings from the project: Understanding local readiness for closure – initiating a multi-stakeholder participatory approach. The project piloted the Town Transition Tool (TTT) at Rosebery, a small mining town on the west coast of Tasmania. Rosebery Mine, owned by MMG, produces zinc, copper, lead and gold.

The TTT is a diagnostic instrument developed by the Centre for Social Responsibility in Mining (CSRM) at the University of Queensland’s Sustainable Minerals Institute to support an integrated approach to mine closure planning. It is structured around two workshops; the first is held with company representatives (the internal workshop) followed by a multi-stakeholder workshop involving representatives from the mining company, state and local government, and community organisations (external workshop). The workshops enable participants to share knowledge and data about the town or local community, and identify the gaps in knowledge that need to be addressed to support closure planning.

The primary aim of this research is to document and analyse the implementation of the TTT, including identification of its strengths and opportunities for improvement.
