SnapshotJeebropilly was a part of the West Moreton Operation.

New Hope Group previously operated a number of coal mines at West Moreton, near Ipswich in South East Queensland. Following closure of the last of these operations (Jeebropilly) in 2019, the Company progressed with rehabilitation activities and divested some of the land and mining leases. During the 2024, the Company progressed towards divestment of the remaining West Moreton land assets and subsidiary companies, including the former Jeebropilly mine and its associated mining leases.
