Mod 8 - Ulan West Continued Operations.

I support this for what is does for the business and the local community with employment .

This will be good benefits to mid western region.

Good for the community

I support Ulan West Continued Operations. Having lived in Mudgee myself previously, the mines are vital to the community in providing ongoing employment and supporting local businesses and suppliers.

I strongly support the extension.

I strongly support the Mod 8 Extension for Ulan Coal.

This expansion will be a vital part of our community.
Regarding jobs and infrastructure for our community.

This project is so important for our community to maintain employment. The mine is also so valuable to the community development with their regular donations to keep the town being a great place to live.

This project should be rejected. This proposed mine 'modification' is larger than Moolarben OC3 which is being treated as a new mine. Why is this not being treated as new mine?
Additional Greenhouse gas emissions (including methane), should not be permitted. The climate change impacts of these emissions will result in huge, unnecessary costs to humanity and the natural world. These costs will be incurred globally, nationally, regionally and locally. The international agreements and goals to reduce NOT increase emissions must be followed.
The loss to the natural world of threatened ecosystems, flora and fauna is immeasurable. We are the only species on the planet which fouls its home and destroys its habitat. It is incomprehensible that threatened ecosystems and species are being threatened still further by a proposal which has been permitted to proceed to this point in the approvals process.
The destruction of yet more known Aboriginal sites is indefensible. The Wiradjuri nation has endured an on-going loss of culture and connection to country through the impact of the contiguous mines along the Goulburn River. The immediate expected impact from this proposal must be included in a cumulative assessment of the Ulan, Moolarben and Wilpinjong mines. We are diminished by this destruction.
Apples vs oranges? You cannot compare the value of selling a certain amount of coal with the damage that would be caused to the natural world and human society.
Ulan Mod 8 should be rejected.

Everyone that lives Australia needs this to go ahead

We still need coal to keep the lights on at a cost we can afford, Australia is a tiny percent of the world’s carbon imprint. Look after jobs and the community at home, stop listening to the doom days and keep the lights on.
I want to swear, but I’ve said enough.

I support coal mine operators incredible contribution to local and national economies, as well as the local jobs it provides.

The project is a brownfield expansion making best use of our country’s resources in an efficient and productive manner.

Coal mines are a vital source of employment and income within the Mudgee community. Without it, the town will suffer

Viable mines need to continue

It is great for the community and I think it will inhibit the local economy if not pushed through

Jobs are needed in the area and people already employed need the stability of knowing their job is secure for the disable future.The revenue it brings to the Mudgee area is priceless.

I support the project to help keep family employed into the future with the Ulan West Operations.

I hope that this application by the proprietors of Ulan Coal Mine is rejected as it affects all living things by adding to the carbon emissions and would increase the pollution damaging air, land and water both locally and at a distance.
This proposed application is not a modification but a significant expansion beyond the current geographical area of Ulan mine. It includes an area of coal waste storage from the washers which is very close to the Goulburn River. The risk of seepage into the River is unacceptable. The life that depends on the Goulburn River includes the plants and animals in the Goulburn River National Park and all the farming and forest land further downstream.
This is a very poorly prepared proposal with many essential features not stated or finalised.
The proposed extension of mining would affect 17 private properties including undermining homes and affecting bores.
The impact on Aboriginal Heritage appears not to have been appropriately assessed. This is an unacceptable omission.
We have reached the end of 2025. We have seen unprecedented global warming with heat records broken around the world. We in Australia have a moral responsibility to leave all remaining fossil fuels in the ground and move forward in less damaging ways. This is the opinion of the majority of Australians at this time.
As a mother who gave birth on the Goulburn River downstream of this proposal my heart goes out to the wombats, eels and white cockatoos that I know depend on this river as well as a myriad of plant life. The beauty of the sandstone cliffs is something worth visiting and appreciating before making a decision to allow their destruction. Having learnt that they are the home of Long Eared Pied Bats, I am reminded that there is so much that we humans do not know about the diversity of life in these natural places. For me, the spiritual value of natural bush land that has not been degraded is enriching. The Goulburn River specifically is a spiritual home of mine.
Thank you for considering these matters and including my passion to protect this part of our wonderful landscape in your decision making process.

'------' Coal Mines. This shouldn't be a discussion, mines are horrendous for the people and animals that have to live near them, for the land that it is destroying and to see the evidence of that destruction and think it should be expanded is abhorrent and I don't think this is allowed to be taking place if MOD 6 was rejected. the land that rightfully belongs to Indigenous peoples being destroyed without their consent is disgusting. To even allow a coal mine so close to a nature reserve and not think that it would impact the animals and everything in that reserve is frankly ignorant. the constant noise, destruction and lights is just extremely toxic for the nature reserve and also for the people in the town right near the mine, well the people who haven't been driven out by the coal mines. Just to clarify, if you didn't realise I hate coal mines and they should all be shutdown. '-----' THE MINES.
