HVO North Open Cut Coal Continuation Project

Mining in the Hunter Valley has been the very foundation of the communities in the areas surrounding mines. The continuation of Hunter Valley Operations will undoubtedly continue to generate support for local workers and their communities to assist in the slow transition to greener energy for the next 20 - 30 years as coal powered assets start to become redundant and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Too many locals rely on the need for mining and they need the support of the government to introduce plans in the future to ensure excess of workforce being made redundant and displaced in the future does not have massive impact to these local communities

My Family have based there lives and future around this project going ahead.

Allowing HVO to grow and expand keeps a lot of locals in a job and enables more jobs for others

The mine is great for my family and the community in whole. Without the opportunity’s the mine has given me, I wouldn’t be able to put back into the community myself through community sport and businesses.

HVO has and will continue to support locals with jobs
Support local business and the hunter valley.

Hvo is the future

I support the Continuation of this project 100%>

I support the plan as HVO helps the community with jobs and all over community help

Energy and Met coal is essential to support humanity. I fully support renewable energy and that is the path for the future, however, at present, both locally and globally, the infrastructure doesn't exist to allow full transition. Heating, cooling, refrigeration, energy supply are the building blocks for modern life both at personal and commercial levels. If Australia doesn't meet these needs others will and the other coal available is not mined as efficiently nor of the same equality. The land is rehabilitated close to natural formation and with some additional assistance of regenerative methods can exceed natural formation. A transition takes time and only those with sufficient GDP can care for the environment. I understand the desire to not proceed, the basis of opposition is from a moral place but with blinkers, ultimately, the agenda is anti human. Once renewables can and have replaced what coal currently achieves, then yes, I would agree, but for now, locally we need this, globally we need this. Morally, I must support my fellow and this project.

I support the project as it provides thousands of local jobs and brings millions of dollars into the local community and many businesses, I also support the project as it pays my wage every week which allows my family to survive every week and enjoy a happy life! Not to mention all the local support the mine provides for families, charities, businesses, schools and so on.
If the project is to get knock back hundreds of people are going to lose there jobs, and times are hard enough at the moment without that stress on top

This project supports my immediate family. My immediate family consists of 5 adult children whom also contribute to the local economy. If this project doesn’t go ahead I will move to an area where I can continue my career. This move will highly likely include taking my adult children thus extra loss to the state from taxes. My partner like many others is a government worker (school teacher) so that would be another teacher lost from an industry that is struggling. I’m am sure that out of all the people working or being supported by HVO that there are plenty of other partners in jobs that if the worker leaves the area to continue elsewhere the local industries, government agencies and economy would suffer.

I support this project as it gives continued employment to mine workers and local businesses who support HVO.I feel this project will have minimal impact on the area as it is an extension to an existing lease and not a new mine.

I support the current project for the employment opportunities locally, both dirrectly and indirectly.
This project is not impacting any areas that were not already approved.

After reading all the information about the continuation project, I support the mine because the amount of people directly and indirectly employed by it is will have too big an impact on the community. Also the benefits for the area like a new flood proof bridge over the Hunter River at Jerrys Plains to replace Moses Crossing at no cost to the public will be a great asset to the area. Local Charities and communities also benefit from a wide variety of donations from HVO. The Royalties for Australia from the mine is enormous, also which helped Australia through the pandemic. The environmental controls that the company have to adhere to are taken very seriously by not only the company, but the workers as well because they live in the area and don't want to spoil it for their children an grandchildren.

I support the project

This project is supports the community.

I strongly support the HVO continuation project, not only will this secure the future for my young growing family but many other families within the Hunter valley. HVO is a great place to work and I have seen firsthand how the local communities surrounding HVO benefit from such a project.

I support the continuation of this project

I support the HVO mine continuation project and the ongoing benefit it will bring the Hunter Valley communities and royalties this operation will provide for support infrastructure such as schools, hospitals and roads. The HVO mine will also assist in meeting the world's need for high quality thermal coal into the future.
