### sec.282 Plan of coal mine workings
This section applies to a plan required to be kept at an underground mine under section 67 of the Act .
The site senior executive for the mine must ensure the plan complies with this section.
The scale of a hard copy plan of the mine’s underground mine workings must be 1:2500.
The information about the mine shown on the plan must include the following—
the mine’s boundaries;
the boundaries of the following—
any road, railway, power line, reserve or easement on the surface that are within the mine’s boundaries;
any creek, river, watercourse, lake, sea, dam or other possible inrush source on the surface within the mine’s boundaries or on land adjacent to the mine;
the mine workings in the working seam;
the connections to the mine workings from other seams;
any known workings of adjoining coal mines in any seam;
the nature, location and dimensions, as accurately as they are known, of any metallic, radioactive or other potentially harmful material left in any borehole intersecting or lying within a working seam;
the location of all boreholes, drifts and shafts from the surface that intersect a working seam;
the boundaries of the following known features that could influence the design and safety of the mine—
sills overlying the mine workings;
faults, dykes and other geological structures;
the location of any artificial structures on the surface within the mine’s boundaries;
the contours of the reduced levels of the mine workings floor at intervals, of not more than 5m, as are necessary to show potential hazards at the mine;
each survey control station plotted at its location showing the control station’s identification number and reduced level.
The locations mentioned in subsection (4) (g) may be shown by a numbering system if—
the information mentioned in the subsection can not be conveniently recorded on the plan; and
details of at least the depth of the boreholes, drifts and shafts are kept in a separate record at the mine.
If the mine has more than 1 working seam, the site senior executive must ensure at least 1 set of plans kept at the mine is drawn on transparencies so the plans for the separate seams can be overlaid to show the relative locations of the workings in each seam.

(sec.282-ssec.1) This section applies to a plan required to be kept at an underground mine under section 67 of the Act .
(sec.282-ssec.2) The site senior executive for the mine must ensure the plan complies with this section.
(sec.282-ssec.3) The scale of a hard copy plan of the mine’s underground mine workings must be 1:2500.
(sec.282-ssec.4) The information about the mine shown on the plan must include the following— the mine’s boundaries; the boundaries of the following— any road, railway, power line, reserve or easement on the surface that are within the mine’s boundaries; any creek, river, watercourse, lake, sea, dam or other possible inrush source on the surface within the mine’s boundaries or on land adjacent to the mine; the mine workings in the working seam; the connections to the mine workings from other seams; any known workings of adjoining coal mines in any seam; the nature, location and dimensions, as accurately as they are known, of any metallic, radioactive or other potentially harmful material left in any borehole intersecting or lying within a working seam; the location of all boreholes, drifts and shafts from the surface that intersect a working seam; the boundaries of the following known features that could influence the design and safety of the mine— sills overlying the mine workings; faults, dykes and other geological structures; the location of any artificial structures on the surface within the mine’s boundaries; the contours of the reduced levels of the mine workings floor at intervals, of not more than 5m, as are necessary to show potential hazards at the mine; each survey control station plotted at its location showing the control station’s identification number and reduced level.
(sec.282-ssec.5) The locations mentioned in subsection (4) (g) may be shown by a numbering system if— the information mentioned in the subsection can not be conveniently recorded on the plan; and details of at least the depth of the boreholes, drifts and shafts are kept in a separate record at the mine.
(sec.282-ssec.6) If the mine has more than 1 working seam, the site senior executive must ensure at least 1 set of plans kept at the mine is drawn on transparencies so the plans for the separate seams can be overlaid to show the relative locations of the workings in each seam.
