In 1997, a Western Australian coal mine closed; its 103-hectare void filled with 30bn litres and became Lake Kepwari

Lake Kepwari, a former coal mine void near Collie, Western Australia, has been transformed into a recreational hub. This artificial lake now offers swimming, boating, camping, and water sports for visitors. The transformation involved significant planning, water management, and infrastructure development over many years. Water was diverted from the Collie River South Branch to fill the large void. This project demonstrates repurposing industrial landscapes for tourism and community benefit.
