Warkworth Coal Mine Continuation

I hope the extention is approved formy future and my famialy.

i support this submission because of the 1300 jobs for local workers at the mine and the local bisnesses it supports

i have worked at mt thorley warkworth for nearly 10 years,i like working hear , ihave been waiting for this expansion to go ahead so i can buy another investment house if this doesnt go though im worried i wont have ajob and be for force to move. this mine is very important to the region.

I work as a school teacher in maitland, my husband works in the mines at mt thorley. i moved from dubbo to maitland 3 years ago i love my school and the area,but if the mine doesnt go ahead we wont be able afford to live hear so the mine is a must

I support the mine extendion as it will provide 1300 people with condition employment for the future. The Bugla commuinty should be look after and the bunisess that supply the mine can continue as well.

I am employed full time with Orica at Warkworth. I hope to be able to support my family for many years to come by continuing my employment at this facility.

I have been working at this mine for the last 3 years and would to be heard for more years to come.

As a current employee of MTW I strongly support the submission for the Warkworth extension. Mine and my families livelihood along with 1000's of other local families and 100's of business rely on MTW. MTW are strong supporters of there workforce and the local hunter community.

I would like to support the Warkworth mine extension. The potential job losses and effects on the families and the hunter community will be devastating. If 1300 jobs are lost at the mine many many more support service business will be forced to shut or reduce there workforce also; amounting to many more jobs losses.

I am a long term employee at MTW and support the extension.I have personally seen the impact the mine has to support industries and i feel any down size or closure of the mine would have far reaching negative affects on our lives and community.

It is critically important that Australia backs the mining industry and the hardworking Australians it supports. The industry supports the economy through company tax and royalties.The industry supports not only its employees/ families but also the employees of the support and services companies that the industry uses. Warkworth is an established mine in an established mining area with an established and commendable reputation. This project should be approved.

I support the expansion of Mount Thorley Warkworth it keeps 1300 people in a job. People Just like me I'm a father of 3 and this expansion provides a career and a future for me and my Family. We live local and shop local without this expansion I'll have to look at working away from my family or relocating my family. We came to the Hunter region to find the balance of work and lifestyle. A great place to raise a Family build a home and have long term employment.

I support the further development of the MTW mine site.

The go ahead of this extension will mean on going employment for not only myself, but those employed directly by the mine, but also for the thousands of contractors and the wider community because of the money spent by those employed.

BusyNeedles is a small business in singleton catering to the needs of local families.
Many of our customers and the family of one of our staff are directly employed at MTW. Others are employed by support industries in town. We believe the failure to secure a future for these people would result in many having to relocate to other areas of Australia probably outside NSW. Reduced turnover in our business will result in a reduction of our small staff. This is typical of most small businesses in town.

I am a mine worker with a family and I have suffered the experience of job loss's. When families suffer loss of income it pust an enormous amount of pressure on them not just finanically but emiotionally. I support mining jobs in Singleton, a town with a proud history of mining and a strong future if the Mount Thorley Warkworth continuation proceeds. Any job losses will result in not only a ripple effect to the families and loved one relying on that income but also to the local community and the economy at large.
There have already been too many job losses in mining over the past 12 months and these projects should be approved to secure employment for more than 1,300 people that rely on these mines for their income to support their families.
I support the economic benefits that mining brings to the Hunter and the state.

Mount Thorley Warkworth has been a significant part of the community for many years and should be able to continue to operate. Its operation provides prosperity and security to so many people in the local community.

If the proposal does not go ahead the very people who have worked so hard to build and run the mine may be left without a job
