HVO North Open Cut Coal Continuation Project

My family are part of the workforce at North open cut mine. They employ 1600 locals and the mine and these employees inturn utilise the surrounding businesses and suppliers.
The mine has respectfully followed the government's guidelines. And respected the local communities needs.

I believe HVO provides a large amount of benefits to the broader community and the closure of the site would impact the region drastically.

The emission reductions in their revised plan show a particularly responsible approach to the future of the mine.

HVO supports thousands of jobs in the hunter valley area while also providing a raft of economic benefits for the state.

With the next 5 years bringing the closure of atleast 2 other mines in the area I believe it’s extremely important to provide opportunity for ongoing employment and economic benefits for the hunter region.

The region needs jobs. The mine has sustainably mined a needed resource for many years and will do it sustainably for years to come

I would like to support this project due to the maintained jobs it supports for this area. The footprint is mainly already mined land with deeper seams being mined. It makes sense to continue the operation with already affected land.
The need of electricity continues with infrastructure to renewable option not going to be ready in time. The Australians emissions is nothing to what the world produces and it's about time the government started looking after the future of their people rather then the radical minority.

Sincerely
Paul Murray.

The mine already exists and provides employment for many employees and contractors , supporting local communities and businesses.

I support this project 100%

I believe this project is good for the hunter valley, with long term employment, money for the government. I also believe HVO is minimising environment impact.

Great for the local community.

The warning, which binds all/everyone, by the best, in climate, which Donald Trump, is attempting to silence, like the Roman Church, silencing Galileo, in the 1600s, who pointed out the orbital conduct, of heavenly bodies, jettisoning the Church's (orthodoxy), baseless centre of the universe view of Earth, orbiting, the bedrock, of today's communication system , so, any scope for any unrestricted emissions has long passed, setting the point, also long passed, when there can be any expansion of fossil, the warning, of the dire risk, of resetting the biosphere, for the ejection of people and vast numbers of members of the biosphere. Any dissenting to this warning, is a red herring, given the status of and number, who are making the warning, and the risk being run. So called adaptation to "climate change", itself a misleading term, is, upon the warning, at best, palliative care. The very recent three yearly NSW state of the environment report rates the health and strength of the environment at 29 per cent of 1788 - from pole to pole Earth is an environmental basket case - wait for it - despite the universe of protective law, here and worldwide, with all its - wait for it - "stringent conditions", starting in the 1960s. I would swim daily at a south facing urban beach, daily, 2000-2015, and when a southerly blew, well "cesspit" and "cesspool" are accurate, to the nth degree. Time to finally get real, despite the hell we are now in, of our own relentless not doing.

I’m currently employed by hvo. This continuation is a big part of keeping me and my family having a healthy life

HVO continues to support the community and ensures that jobs stay local by allowing there project to continue this adds value to the community in and around us and the local economy by keeping people here and in jobs that Matter.

Great economic value supporting 1500 local jobs . Many more businesses project should go ahead

I support the project of continuing this mine.

This continuation project will ensure employment both directly and indirectly for thousands of people around the region. The company makes considerable donations to many organisations and funds many projects at local school and non for profit organisations. Without coal mines the hunter community would not survive

I support the continuation of the HVO project as it provides over 1500 jobs for families and local people. HVO work with the local community to provide funding for schools, health care and emergency services. I support the continuation of the HVO project 100%

Sir/Madam,

I’m a farmer. My family objects to the expansion of any fossil energy mine anywhere in the world, as it will take away the future of our and your grandchildren.
Global warming and human made climate change, is a fact only people with ulterior motives (like getting rich) dispute.
Feeding 8 billion+ people in a more extrem climate, is not possible on a planet with finite resources for any length of time, without destroying the habitat of most living things.

Please think about it.

My dad works there and I would like him to earn and provide for my family and community

It will keep people in a job and it supports local businesses and the economy

I support the project to keep work ongoing for the Hunter valley
