Mod 9 - Additional Coal Extraction

Kara Magnetite supplies magnetite to the Moolarben Coal Preparation Plant .
My company values the association with Yan Coal as it provides income and employment for our contractors in NSW and for our mine staff at the Kara Mine in Tasmania.
Moolarben is a well run mine With excellent ethics in dealings with contractors and the community.
Kara Magnetite urges the NSW Dept of Planning and infastructure to look favourably on the Moolarben coal operations stage 1 optimisation project application

Extension of the life of mine will give many greater job security in the area.

I have lived in the local community for 15 years and have recently commenced employment with Moolarben Coal. I believe that mining benefits our community.
During my time at Moolarben Coal I have been able to experience first hand their level of commitment to our community through the time spent ensuring the safety and wellbeing of employees, to the continued level of support to local community groups. It is businesses such as these that allow our regional towns to continue to prosper. I support the current submission of optimisation of stage 1 of the mine.

Moolarben mine provides Mudgee with economic prosperity. The mine is a major contributor of jobs, support for local businesses and general support for the community as a whole. Mudgee needs mines such as Moolarben to remain viable and strong to sustain the growth and economic strength within the district.
I am appalled by how these mining developments get railroaded by green groups whom make vexatious claims and ultimately stifle development and put hard working people and their families out of jobs. The NSW government needs to get the balance right because there is far to much panning to radical left wing green groups and far too much green tape with no thought on how it impacting the working families of NSW.

I support the proposal

I have found that Moolarben coal mine has nothing but a positive impacked on the town of Mudgee and the surrounding community .I believe that moolarben coal mine hold environment matters in the highest regard ,you only have to visit the place to see how neat and tidy the site is and the effort and pride put into the rehabilitation areas .I think the approval of the stage 1 modification would only prove to be a positive step for all concerned .

Without the mining sectors surrounding the township of Mudgee, the town would not continue to grow and prosper. The mines bring a diversity of people and opportunities. Their financial contributions benefit the developments and charities in the township.

I support this submission by Moolarben Coal due the the support and employment which Moolarben provides the local community. The future of the Moolarben mine will affect many people who live and support the local communities and businesses.
Moolarben is a professional and productive operation and is committed to minimising it's impact on the environment.
This approval will provide security into the future for many local families in these uncertain times.

As a born and bred local I Support the Stage 1 Optimisation Modification 9. I have lived only 8kms away from Moolarbens Open Cut for the last 4-5 months and cannot fault anything. They support the Ulan Commuity and care for the communities welfare. Since Moolarben Coal had commenced Construction and now in Mining, it has brought employment to many of the local community members and a flow of money throughout the surrounding towns contracting companies and small business's. Moolarben has also been supporting charities, doing fund raising activities, supporting local sporting and community groups. I believe Moolarben has a positive impact on the Ulan/Mudgee/Gulgong region in a diverse range of affairs and I give them my 100% support and best of luck throughout the Mining life.
