Enforcements

On 22 June 2023, NSW Planning issued an Official Caution to Warkworth Mining Ltd (WML) for exceeded noise impact assessment criteria at three noise monitoring locations for the Warkworth Continuation Project on 20 July 2022.  WML had failed to implement their approved Noise Management Plan on the night of 20 July 2022 in the lead up to the exceedances. WML have since implemented measures to ensure compliance with their management plan and NSW Planningcontinues to monitor WML's noise reporting data and implementation of the NMP.

I support the Warkworth continuation project due to the great need for more employment options in the Hunter Valley.
It has already experienced heavy retrenchments over the last 2 years, and another mine closure would be devastating to our economy.

The MtThorley / Warkworth expansion must gain approval not only for the 1300 workers, but also for the surrounding businesses who will suffer economic hardship.

This approval is vital for economic / employment stability for the Hunter Valley.
