Glendell Continued Operations Project

I object on the grounds of unacceptable scope 3 carbon emissions that will contribute to world wide carbon emmissions and climate change. The jobs retained by this project would pale in comparison to jobs lost due to climate change. Additionally the impacts to the Ravensworth homestead complex are unacceptable. The loss of place and context cannot be offset.

The relocation of Ravensworth would boths preserve the history of Ravensworth homestead and provide unprecedented opportunity for growth in tourism related business and employment in Broke.

I support this project as it will be great for jobs in the area and the site is great at adhering to environmental limits/regulations.

This project will be good for the local community, bringing many jobs and money to our local economy.

This project will be good for the local community, bringing many jobs and money to our local economy. I am in full support of this project.

I fully support the relocation of the Ravensworth homestead to Broke to create a new "town centre". I think it would be a huge asset to the local community & a great use of a piece of local history.

A 20 year extension of the Glendell Mine will add more than 230 million tonnes of greenhouse gases over it’s lifetime, will exacerbate surface water loss resulting in more than 2 metres drawdown and will also contribute to air pollution. The Hunter Valley already has the worst PM10 air pollution in NSW and more than 95% results from coal mining. This is despite dust control programs. We can expect more respiratory disease, more lung cancer and increasing extreme weather events, a result of climate change linked to continued dependence on fossil fuels. We urgently need to substitute sustainable solutions.

I think this will be extremely beneficial to the community of Broke. I am in full support.

I am in support of this project and see the approval of this mine continue forward as stated year 2044.

This project will provided hundreds of local jobs, which will bring and keep money being spent in the region

I support the continued operations of Glendell Mine.

The mine employs local people who live in the Singleton LGA and people in other areas of the Hunter and Newcastle. From this continued employment the local economy and businesses are supported and therefore have more long term viable opportunities to grow their businesses from the employees who spend their wages in these businesses. Local people supporting local people.
Further to this the mine supports many community projects and provides many opportunities for the local community. This includes local schools and sporting organisations, community groups, businesses and not for profit organisations who would not be able to offer the wide variety of services to the whole community if it wasn't for the funding and grants provided by Glencore and Glendell Mine. This mine has continually supported a wide range of community events and organisations listed above that my children, wife and myself have been involved in and enjoyed the benefits of. As the mine would potentially continue with approval of this project all of these factors and ways the mine supports and benefits the community would continue allowing the whole community to enjoy continued opportunities to participate in, a local economy that ensures a variety of businesses operating to ensure the communities needs are met and continued employment for the employees.

-Glendell Operations keeps 1000's of locals in employment
-they give back to the community regularly in the way of grants and funding
- high percentage of the work force are locals therefore spending funds locally
- Government royalties

The continued operation of Glendell mine, in short, is pertinent to the local communities and economy of the area.

Glencore and Glendell mine is a visible strong supporter of many organisations, schools, sporting groups, businesses, not for profit organisations and community groups and committees. Their continued support through funding and grants, volunteer workers and helpers for events and the many programs they implement in the community is essential to the viability of such events and programs that contribute significantly to the wellbeing, health and opportunity to the many residents of the local area. People of all ages in the community benefit from this support from Glencore and Glendell and to see a withdrawal of this would impact significantly on the whole area.

Further to this the employees of the mine, many of who live locally in the Singleton LGA and surrounding Hunter towns, help to support local businesses. With continued operations this support is guaranteed to continue as this will ensure that employees do not need to seek employment out of the area, taking their needs and the opportunity support local business with them. This includes local small businesses as well as larger. The families of the employees also benefit from the continued operations by also supporting local businesses, working in the area, attending schools etc and further contributing to the local economy.
I strongly support the continued operations of the glendell mine project and the benefits this will continue to have on our local area and economy.

I would like to express my support for this project on the grounds of its economic importance and community support in the upper Hunter region.
Whilst I am not a local resident I visit the area very often as my daughter and family reside in Bulga. It is extremely evident that the Town of Singleton would not exist without the surrounding mining industry providing jobs and sponsorships as they do very generously to various community projects, schools , hospitals and numerous sporting associations in the region.
One only has to observe the overwhelming majority of parents wearing mining uniforms on any given afternoon in Singleton going about their duties picking kids up from school, taking them to sporting activities and packing the shopping centres to realise the devastating decline the town would experience with any reduction of mining projects.
For all of the above reasons I urge that this extension proposal be approved and implemented.

I would like this to go ahead for the good of the Broke Village community and the preservation of the building.
thanks
Sonja

It is extremely important that we preserve our historical buildings especially in the Hunter area
It would be ideal to have Ravenswood Honestead
Relocated to Broke where it would be an ideal addition to the villages attraction

Moving Ravensworth Cottage to Broke would be a great thing for tourism

One Key Resources (OKR) is a supplier of labour to Gendell Mine, One Key Resources employ 40 people on site in a full time capacity, one Account Manager managing the site and two recruitment officers filling role for the site. The approval of Glendell's Continued Operations Project is vital to the on going employment of these people, who in turn contribute to the local economy, schools and sporting organization's. If the project is not given the green light the impacts will be go beyond the employees working at the mine, it will affect local contracting company's that rely on the mine to keep other local people employed.
One Key Resources 100% supports the approval of Glendell's Continued Operations Project and securing the ongoing jobs of local people and local company's.

I would like to support the approval of this project and to express support of the relocation of Ravensworth Homestead to the village of Broke, A lot of our small villages and communities have been lost due to mining in the Hunter Valley and this is a unique opportunity to see an investment into a regional area, it will give us a community centre that will provide amazing economic and social benefits and will complement our current village architecture. It will give something back to the people of the hunter and provide a new venue for economic growth and new jobs in our growing tourist market. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Industry and community to work together to provide something positive to our rural area.
I believe it is in the interest of the NSW government to support us in this pursuit and not let it slip by like the Wambo House situation years ago.
