Worsley Alumina's mining operations are located near Boddington
in jarrah forest and agricultural land south east of Perth
in Western Australia. The Worsley refinery, which processes
the bauxite into alumina, is 15km north west of Collie.
At both the mine and the refinery sites, Worsley's key environmental
responsibilities are to:
- rehabilitate mined land and to re-establish a self sustaining,
native forest ecosystem;
- ensure the quality of local water resources are maintained;
- ensure nearby residents are not adversely affected by
air emissions from operations; and
- reuse, recycle and reduce the generation of waste were
practicable.
Worsley's environmental commitment is backed by a research
effort that covers a range of projects undertaken in partnership
with universities, consultants and contractors.
