I am writing to support the proposed mine extension. This mine provides steady work for more than three hundred people, many of whom live locally, including myself and people I know. These jobs help families stay in the area and give our community security and stability. The mine also supports many other local businesses, contractors, shops, and services that rely on it.
Mining has always been a big part of our community. It’s part of who we are and has supported generations of local families. Keeping the mine going helps protect that history and ensures our town continues to grow and stay strong.
The mining methods used here are carefully managed and designed to have very little impact on the environment and the land on the surface. The company monitors this closely, and the community sees the benefits of mining done responsibly.
Most importantly, this is a local mine that employs local people. The extension means ongoing work, ongoing support for local families, and ongoing benefits for the whole region. Losing these jobs would hurt our community, but continuing the mine will help keep it thriving.

I object to any extension. Please see attached submission

Being a long term resident of the Lithgow area I support the Clarence Colliery mod 11 project. Clarence Colliery is a major employer in a community that lacks employment opportunities, the Centennial Company takes on apprentices from the town providing employment for students from the local schools also it provides external jobs outside of the mine site for the greater community. Clarence Colliery also works within the boundaries of the environmental agencies and provides Lithgow with water when required. This mine and the Centennial Company support local Schools, events, sporting groups, charity groups and other organisations throughout the Lithgow area. As a father and grandfather I see this project as a good advancement for our local area and the people within it.

This submission supports me and my family

A local employer supporting their workers, employing apprentices, & supporting local business in surrounding areas.

* Approval of this project will likely incur an extra movement of 300,000 tonnes of coal by road truck. These trucks will probably transit via the Blue Mtns. An estimated 7,000 truck movements outwards per annum. The highway(s) are already showing severe signs of degradation (local community experiences) likely due to frequent 40 tonne trucks hammering the road surface.
* Rail is available and should be mandatory for this project.
*If extraction continues then prioritise usage of the extracted coal to Mt. Piper rather than exported
* Site rehabilitation methods should be strengthened to ensure they are effective & enforceable.
* this proposed change is quite significant not minor administrative alteration, that will adversely impact the nearby Gardens of Stone
* Link approval to the upgrade of the Lidsdale coal unloader. Such an upgrade would reduce reliance on the polluting Springvale wet facility.
