As a preface, I believe that while coal mining obviously has an (ill defined) use by date, there will continue to be a very significant role for thermal coal to play for decades to come and I believe the pale blue dot we all share will, on balance, be better off using our high quality coal than the generally much poorer quality reserves from Asia.
Having worked within many Glencore mines over the last three decades as an automation and control systems contractor, I have been directly and intimately involved in their mining operations, water and fuel management and environmental monitoring and controls, including Glendell for several years now .
From this long and deeply engaged perspective I know that Glencore maintain very high standards of environmental stewardship and community engagement, whilst operating efficiently and profitably.
Glendell has a very capable, forward looking and progressive management team who are constantly looking for and implementing cutting edge technology blended with common sense to ensure that their operation, although relatively small, runs efficiently with the minimal possible impact on the environment.
These guys have their stuff sorted - while we export coal please allow them to continue mining.

Over and over we are witnessing “employees” being held to ransom by the few who object and leave the Mines concerned unable to plan too far ahead. The “coal mining” industry has been operating here in the Hunter Valley for many decades without any real proven impact on the surrounding areas. The powers that be have very stringent environmental guidelines in place and Monitored constantly. I believe that both parties ie for/against can continue to live and work side by side.
In this day and age where we have many residents unable to find employment it appears to me to be a very callous act should the continuation be denied.
I thank you for the opportunity to submit my thoughts and only hope that common sense does prevail in this decision.

For many years the agricultural businesses and Mining operations have worked successfully side by side. The strict environmental guidelines already set in place and monitored constantly should prove to those objecting to the continuation of these Operations that they have no valid reason to object.
This project if approved will not only give Glendell and the current employees stability and the opportunity to plan their future but it will also benefit all NSW residents due to the taxes collected from Glencore and paid to the NSW Government.
Thank you

We urgently need projects like this to be approved to secure jobs and investment for local rural and regional communities.
There are more than 7,000 local businesses across NSW that are supported by mining.

There wouldn't be many (or any) objections to this mine extension if people were properly educated in the uses of coal and why coal is such an important fossil fuel.

Glendell Mines provides a huge economic boost to the Hunter Region with money being spent in the local area using local suppliers and with employees living in the Hunter Region. Glendell Mines needs to continue as they provide a huge employment opportunities for the area, putting millions of dollars back into the local community. They also continue to follow environmental practices by rehabilitating the areas they have an impact on. If the mine was to close, it would be devastating for the community.

These benefits include:
*Boosting state coffers through increased extraction up to 10 Million Tonne Per Year
*Securing Local Jobs well into the future - This intern flows down to local businesses increasing there revenues
*Glencore continuing to fund local projects, ie.school and junior sporting organisations
*Keeping the Hunter Valley a strong regional hub for power generation and as a benchmark for others to envy
The Glendell Continued Operations Project has significant benefits to the region - Its approval would be a major boost for the area and much welcomed by all involved

Australia contributes 1.3% of the world's carbon emissions.
Australia is therefore contributing disproportionately to global warming which is now at crisis level. The reason this is happening is because we continue to mine and export fossil fuels without regard to the global peril we are facing. The coal mining industry needs to be scaled down - not up. Any extension or increase in the amount of coal being mined is directly opposed to our moral obligations and to internationally accepted environmental best practice. If this application is granted it will contribute to the escalation of already unacceptably high carbon emissions. It is not in the interests of the people of NSW that this application be granted and it should be rejected.

The finances that will be injected into the towns of Singleton, Muswellbrook and the surrounds will help all of those locally to be able to be able to live off their own business and provide for their families.
I believe job security is very hard to find these days so with at least 300 more jobs that will be provided from this project is incredible.
I fully support the Glendell Continued Operations Project.
