The Hazelwood coal mine and power plant has employed generations of families in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley since the end of the second world war. With the mine to close at the end of March 2017, hundreds of local residents face unemployment.

Several options are on the table for the Hazelwood lake, and questions have been raised about the cost of rehabilitating the mine.
