I believe it has a positive effect on the area as it provides lots of jobs for the locals

I am currently working at HVO an the extension would mean the world to my family knowing the I could continue to work in such a great place possibly for the rest of my career. I am sure the other 1600 people that work there an the suppliers in the valley r dependent on the mine to make ends meet . We have proven that we can mine within all the restrictions that we have to abide buy an I am strongly in favour for the approval

I support this project as the continuation will continue to support myself and my family. This extension will be great in my opinion for the greater Hunter and Newcastle region as the large employment numbers and support businesses feed directly into the community.

I support the project, to provide jobs for the local community and support the Australian economy.

The project is needed for resources, and for the community for jobs.

I support the project as it will provide jobs for years to come in the Hunter Valley

I support the continuation of Hunter Valley Operations to preserve local jobs and economic contribution to the community. The loss of HVO would leave a devastating effect on the community.

The continuation project is vital for the local, state and country economy. I agree that something has to be done in benefit for the environment, but the deadline proposed is just not realistic.

HVO has my support in the continuation project. HVO supports the community, business and locals with employment opportunities, financial support and incentive programs, also support school programs to introduce school leavers to potential employment.

Hvo provides a lot of people with employment, providing a lot of tax revenue for free stuff. The hunter valley will have many mine closures in the next decades, it will be smoother if there staggered
