To whom it may concern,
Please take this submission as support for the Mod 8 - Ulan West Continued Operations project. The premise of my support is based on the positive economic stimulus to the towns of Mudgee and Gulgong through employment, support industries and community support programs. As a long-term local of Mudgee, I have seen firsthand how much Glencore-Ulan Coal is entrenched in our community. This project directly supports the people of Mudgee and Gulgong. Kind Regards.

I would like to express my full support for the Ulan West Mod 8 proposal. The modification represents a balanced and forward-thinking approach that benefits both the operation and the workforce. The plan demonstrates a clear commitment to maintaining safety, improving efficiency, and supporting long-term sustainability for the mine and everyone who works there.

The Mod 8 framework shows strong consideration for operational continuity while also recognising the value of stability for employees and contractors. It provides clarity around future planning, helps secure ongoing employment, and supports a positive outlook for the site. This certainty is especially important for families, local businesses, and the broader community who rely on Ulan West’s ongoing success.

Overall, Mod 8 offers a constructive pathway forward. It is encouraging to see a proposal that reflects careful planning, responsible management, and a genuine effort to balance economic, environmental, and workforce needs. I support the modification and believe it will contribute positively to the future of the operation.

I wish to formally express my support for the Ulan West Underground Mine and the significant positive contribution it continues to make to our region. Ulan West plays a vital role in sustaining the local economy by bringing a consistent workforce into the area. A large proportion of these workers reside outside the region, and many bring their families with them during holiday periods. This regular influx of people directly benefits the town, supporting local businesses, community services, and the broader economy.
Local retailers, hospitality venues, accommodation providers, and essential service operators all experience increased activity as a result of Ulan West’s ongoing presence. This increased economic activity is particularly important for small and locally owned businesses that rely heavily on the stability and support provided by the mine’s workforce and visiting families. Beyond the advantages, Ulan West contributes positively to the community by increasing local engagement and helping to maintain a vibrant and active township.
For these reasons, I strongly support the continuation of the Ulan West Underground Mine. Its operations deliver substantial and ongoing benefits to the region, and its continued presence is essential for the long-term economic resilience and community wellbeing of our area.

The Ulan mine expansion provides critical jobs and investment in the region for the continued success of our resources industry.
