The mine ceased operations after 25 years of extraction in February 2007. The mine's closure left one operating mine in Ipswich.[1] To offset the loss of production from Jeebropilly Mine, New Hope expanded mining at the New Acland Mine.[2] The coal-washing plant at Jeebropilly continued to operate so that coal from New Oakleigh Mine could be processed.[1]
The mine was recommissioned in 2008 due to high export prices for coal.[3] It closed again in December 2019.[4]
