HVO North Open Cut Coal Continuation Project

I strongly support the approval of the HVO Continuation Project. This project is vital for the long-term wellbeing of the Hunter Valley, not only by preserving direct employment in mining, but also by sustaining the many local businesses, contractors, and suppliers that depend on the industry. These jobs provide security for families, support small business growth, and keep money circulating in our regional economy.

The project also plays an important role in maintaining funding for community through partnerships and sponsorships.

While economic benefits are significant, I also understand the importance of managing environmental impacts responsibly. I support the continuation of the HVO Project with the expectation that it meets modern environmental standards, incorporates ongoing rehabilitation efforts, and works transparently with the community on sustainability practices. Responsible mining and environmental care can and should go hand in hand.

The consequences of not approving this project would be felt across the region, through job losses, reduced investment, and a decline in community support programs. The Hunter Valley has a proud history of contributing to the state's economy through mining, and with the right oversight, this can continue in a way that supports both people and the environment.

The expansion will secure the jobs of over 1500 employees and 800 other companies. The families of the hunter need this to go ahead. Being a business owner in Cessnock I need the HVO to go ahead.

The continuation of this project will support my family and many others into the future. It will also ensure Singleton and surrounding towns grow and benefit.

Jobs for locals, business for local businesses, not mining virgin ground.

I moved to the Hunter valley for multiple reasons. The first being that’s it’s a beautiful and amazing place to live, secondly the Hunter has amazing employment opportunities. I’m able to raise my family in an area with a bright future. Hvo contributes so much to the community and closing hvo would impact the local and surrounding areas immensely.

HVO supports the local region by employing many workers

I think this project will be great for the community and the only way to support it into the future.

Pit needs to stay open to provide jobs and ongoing community support

I’m supporting the project as Lemmington road needs an upgrade. Also having a new bridge to replace Moses Crossing will be a great addition.
