I represent landholders, residents and users of Pokolbin Mountains Road as co-ordinator of the PMR group. Many issues have been raised by the group during engagement and consultation with EnergyCo.
The EIS makes no specific mentions of issued raised. The PMR group encourages and supports individuals making submissions in response to the EIS.

Please see attached document.

The Mulgoa Valley Landcare group objects to the impacts of this project on the Littlejohns Tree Frog. It is unacceptable that public infrastructure be approved that will impact the future of an endangered species. Billions of dollars are invested in public infrastructure while biodiversity impact avoidance and mitigation is proportionately ignored. This situation has also occurred in the
SnowyHydro 2.0 and the Western Sydney Airport projects - both of these current projects annihilating critically endangered species or ecological communities while the investment mitigation has been underwhelming. if we are to approve such large scale infrastructure, we must also invest sufficiently in biodiversity such that we do not cause further impacts to already threatened species.

As a glider pilot and a power pilot with a glider towing endorsement I object to the location of the 500kV Hunter Transmission Line being 1 nautical mile east of the Hunter Valley Gliding Club runway on operational safety grounds. The Technical Report 16 "Aviation Impact Assessment" portrays a view of technical compliance to regulatory requirements however does not address very real reduction in safety to both glider operations and tow plane operations by the reduction of safety margins which are already limited in both the landing and take-off profiles particularly during emergency scenarios or times of high workloads.

I didnt know what this is until 2 seconds ago when got asked to sign something else the basketball arena one but this sounds more important cant cap yk.

I am concerned that the project does not take into account the impact on the endangered Littlejohn's Tree Frog
There appear to be construction that will destroy breeding areas of the frog.

This project enables at least 1000 jobs for people in the Hunter region. The impact would be negative on the Hunter region if this did not continue to go ahead.

The Warkworth airfield is owned and operated by Hunter Valley Gliding club and has NOT been included in the EIS - Aviation impact.
The Airfield WILL be significantly impacted by the HTP and it has been used by the Hunter Valley gliding club continuously for over 60 years. As i regularly fly gliders from Warkworth airfield the HTP WILL potentially impact my safety and ability to operate out of the airfield due to its close proximity.
There is similar aviation activity as occurs in Cessnock, Maitland which HAVE been included in assessment.
The assessment NEEDS to include impact on Warkworth airfield as an important and active aviation airfield within 30NM of transmission lines. The airfield is already adversely impacted by the surrounding mining activity so HTP needs to consult with Hunter Valley Gliding Club to ensure the same consideration is given it as that of Maitland and Cessnock airport to allow continued, safe operations.

We object to the project in its current form as the proposed alignment through the Singleton Military Area (Figure 3.9, Western option) is the one that impacts the community the most as evident in Table 3.10 of the EIS Main Text (Page 96). It is clear that the Eastern option shown in Figure 3.9 has acceptable impacts on the community with substantially less visual, noise, Built heritage and traffic impacts. It is only the Department of Defence’s unsubstantiated view that has led to the selection of the Western option.
