# Event Details - **Event Name**: OQMRC Seminar – Creating alternate growth media (Brisbane) - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 09:30 am – Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 11:00 am - **Event Description**: Join us in Brisbane for our seminar on creating alternate growth media to achieve successful revegetation on Queensland mines!About this EventMining disturbs land surfaces which need to be rehabilitated at the conclusion of mining activities. To rehabilitate land, disturbed areas need to be covered with soil that is amenable to the growth of vegetation. The topsoil obtained from the mining operation is often the most suitable for rehabilitation purposes as it has the greatest biological activity, seed bank and organic matter accumulation, however, available volumes are often very small relative to the volume of soil required to rehabilitate a mine. To address topsoil deficits on mine sites, the identification and amelioration of alternate soil materials such as subsoil and spoil is required.The Office of the Queensland Mine Rehabilitation Commissioner recently published the Technical Paper ‘Creating alternate growth media to achieve successful revegetation on Queensland mines’. The paper presents an approach to generate a growth medium and provides information on material physicochemical properties and constraints limiting its function as a growth medium. This seminar will provide an overview of the approach from two of the paper’s authors, Bernhard Wehr and Glenn Dale, and will provide an opportunity for you to ask questions of the authors about the paper and its application.AgendaIntroductionPresentationPanel Discussion - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brisbane-city/oqmrc-seminar-creating-alternate-growth-media-brisbane/100001980915579824 - **Event Categories**: Workshops, Art, literary-art, Business - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brisbane City - **state**: QL - **country**: Australia - **location**: Auditorium - 111 Gorge Street, Brisbane - **lat**: -27.4725409 - **long**: 153.0254522 - **full address**: Auditorium - 111 Gorge Street, Brisbane, 111 George Street, Brisbane City, Australia ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: OQMRC Seminar – Creating alternate growth media (Brisbane) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/f72bfdb18e72525c558b70bfbc160aa2708e0ddd2e0a9858b3036c382b851674-rimg-w1200-h815-dc63594b-gmir.jpg?v=1771399097 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is OQMRC Seminar – Creating alternate growth media (Brisbane) being held? - **A:** OQMRC Seminar – Creating alternate growth media (Brisbane) takes place on Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 09:30 am to Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 11:00 am at Auditorium - 111 Gorge Street, Brisbane, 111 George Street, Brisbane City, Australia. - **Q**: Who is organizing OQMRC Seminar – Creating alternate growth media (Brisbane)? - **A:** OQMRC Seminar – Creating alternate growth media (Brisbane) is organized by Queensland Mine Rehabilitation Commissioner. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "OQMRC Seminar – Creating alternate growth media (Brisbane)", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/f72bfdb18e72525c558b70bfbc160aa2708e0ddd2e0a9858b3036c382b851674-rimg-w1200-h815-dc63594b-gmir.jpg?v=1771399097", "startDate": "2026-03-05", "endDate": "2026-03-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/brisbane-city/oqmrc-seminar-creating-alternate-growth-media-brisbane/100001980915579824", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Auditorium - 111 Gorge Street, Brisbane", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "111 George Street", "postalCode": "4000", "addressLocality": "Brisbane City", "addressRegion": "QL", "addressCountry": "AU" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "-27.4725409", "longitude": "153.0254522" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us in Brisbane for our seminar on creating alternate growth media to achieve successful revegetation on Queensland mines!", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-07", "availabilityEnds": "2026-03-05", "validFrom": "2026-04-07", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/brisbane-city/oqmrc-seminar-creating-alternate-growth-media-brisbane/100001980915579824" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-07", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-07", "url": "https://allevents.in/brisbane-city/oqmrc-seminar-creating-alternate-growth-media-brisbane/100001980915579824", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Queensland Mine Rehabilitation Commissioner", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/queensland-mine-rehabilitation-commissioner/20818134", "description": "The Office of the Queensland Mine Rehabilitation Commissioner understands that a collaborative multi-disciplinary approach is needed to ensure the best social, economic, environmental, and scientific, mine rehabilitation outcomes are achieved.\r\n \nOur vision is leading Queensland to achieve best practice in mined land rehabilitation. We do this through four key responsibilities:\r\nConnect - Engage with stakeholders and the community to raise awareness of mine rehabilitation matters.\r\nResearch - Produce technical reports on the best practice rehabilitation of land impacted by resource activities\r\nAdvise - Provide advice to the Minister on mine rehabilitation practices, outcomes and policies\r\nReport - Report on mine rehabilitation performance and trends in Queensland\r\n \nOur research publications are available on \nour website\n and aim to establish clear evidence based, best practice standards for mined land rehabilitation." } ] } ] ```
