I strongly support the pit 8 extension modification as I have lived in the Mudgee region all my life and know first hand the amount of people and charities Wilpinjong coal mine supports. I am also employed by the mine and love working with such a positive leading force in the Australian coal industry.

I support the Wilpinjong extent ion as a woman in my fifties work is getting harder to find due to agism . The mine employs many women & helps get them financially secure for their retirement.
With the economy outlook the extension of the mine is vitally important of the local, state & national economy by providing jobs and royalties that provide important income for all.
This extension is vital for me personally as it is where i see I will spend the rest of my working career.

I support the Wilpinjong Mine Modification 3.
The mine plays a huge role in keeping our local economy strong, providing stable jobs for hundreds of people and steady work for many local businesses and contractors across the region. The flow-on effect from wages, suppliers, and services is significant and helps keep towns like Mudgee and Gulgong thriving.
This extension allows work to continue safely for a few more years, protecting local jobs and investment. Wilpinjong has a solid track record with land rehabilitation and environmental management, as well as genuine support for community programs and regional health services.
Approving this modification makes sense for the community, local business, and the wider region.
