One of the major sources of mining-related dispute in Australia has been land use. This conflict has escalated in recent years, partly because of increased public support for conservation and partly because of the more intense search for resource deposits as less controversial deposits are used up. Such conflicts are now considered to be the major problem facing the mining industry, although this is disputed by environmental groups who argue that only a small amount of land is subject to dispute.

he Open program focuses on interdisciplinary learning, social issues, and students’ exploration of their place in the world. Students develop their critical thinking skills through exploration, student initiative, and personal responsibility while valuing teamwork, intellectual curiosity, diversity, and community.
