HVO South Open Cut Coal Continuation Project

I support this project as it is to sustain my current employment and future employment opportunities for myself and for my kids.

the continuation of this project will support over 1000 jobs and bring money to local people and businesses. the mine has been operating in its current open cut format for over 40 years with no problems.

I would like to stay working at hvo for my working career.

I am supporting this project as it affects mine and my families futures

This is my future, i rely on this mine.

Local mining matters!
Jobs and economy

I am supporting the project to keep mining jobs in the Hunter valley and supporting the local economy

The continuation of this project is detrimental to hundreds of families and myself as an employee of HVO. The project brings in a huge amount of wealth and support to the communities and I believe the project should be extended.

This side off the mine is a valuable resource for jobs in the community..

I support the mining extension to keep jobs and provide the opportunity to train more apprentices over the coming years

I believe the people of the Hunter valley need this continuation to continue support careers and families.

Thus project is great for the local economy as well as the national. It will provide ongoing work for 1500 families.

hvo provides me with a full time job and provides for myself and my family,without my job at hvo i would have trouble providing for my family and supporting the community

The employees need this to happen.

I believe it is a good project, providing jobs for lots of people. HVO is a long standing mine site, mining within their allowed amounts with minimal complaints. they also do lots for the community.

I fully support the HVO South continuation project as it will provide thousands of jobs for the local community and surrounding areas, not just on the mine site but also for contracting, OEM and supply companies too.
HVO is also very committed to rehabilitating the area back to a natural state after mining.

I write to give my full support for the HVO extension project in the South.
I have been a part of the HVO team for 13 years now. It provides me with great opportunities that allows me to provide a great balanced lifestyle for my young family. The site and roster allow me to spend quality time with my 3 young children and wife. Be involved with the schools, sporting clubs and support my wife in her career.
The people at HVO are what set it apart from other workplaces. It's a real family environment.
HVO's approval will provide the community with countless job opportunities not only at the mine itself but all its suppliers, contractors and support the local community in the Hunter and Newcastle regions which would benefit everyone in those communities.
With the approval it will be able to continue to support local charity organisations, industries suppliers, schools and community grants. The employees of the mine, contractors and suppliers will continue to invest their money in the local community at the shops, cafes, bakers, pubs and clubs, supermarkets, restaurants etc etc. Their children will attend the local schools, tafes and participate in sporting clubs and organisations. This would continue to build a strong, vibrant and diverse local community.
In addition, with the approval the flood prone Moses crossing would be upgraded with a bridge over the Hunter River to allow access for the public and mine workers to Lemington Road in heavy rain events.
HVO offers educational assistance for their employees which I have been fortunate enough to use and will complete a trade upgrade through one of the local registered training organisations.
I fully support HVO and look forward to seeing the mine continue into the future and keep providing a great future and lifestyle for myself and all personnel involved with the site and community far and wide.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am putting forward my full support for the HVO south project for the following reason's.
Living in small rural town there isn't a whole lot of work and the opportunities this project will bring in the way of trade and upskill growth is endless not including future employment opportunities for my young family.
The 24hr run mine site will continue to give the option of working days or nights to allow me to support my family financially and physically. In being home weekdays, I am able to support my partner in multiple extra curriculum specialist appointments my children need to further their education, speech, fine motor skills and physical abilities.
Finally, I would like to add the financial stability a large mine provides currently and into the future only further allows the support towards my small local community, businesses and town.
I look forward to the continued support HVO South will bring to myself and local communities in the ways I have mentioned above and in far more ways into the future.

I currently work at HVO and have for 19 years and I support the project as it continues to support 1500 local jobs and local bussinesses as well as mining royalties to support schools and hospitals and continues with local charities and community organizations and is good for the economy .

I would like to enter a submission in support of the HVO south continuation project. I work at HVO, which is jointly owned by Glencore and Yancoal. Both companys are huge contributors to the hunter valley economy, which impacts the NSW economy, and also with their coal exports contribute to the australian economy to a large extent. The project will not impact any more land than is already the case, as they reabillitate the land as they progress to new areas. The companys are very environmentally friendly, with a focus put on not impacting surrounding areas, with dust and noise management. Both companys contribute to local comunity projects in sourounding towns where their employees live. The project will provide ongoing employment for at least 1500 employees for many years to come, which can only be a good thing. I personally cannot think of one negative reason why this project should not go ahead, and encourage you to give it the tick of approval.
