I am writing to support the proposed mine extension for Clarence Colliery.
This mine provides employment for many local families, including myself and family members.
If this extension is not approved it will be devastating for many families as there are families with three or four members working at Clarence Colliery, this could force families to move to different locations.

Clarence Collery Modification 11 should be approved because i represents a low risk, high-value continuation of an already well-regulated operation with a proven environmental and e record. The modifcation does not introduce new disturbance, alter mining methods, increase production, or change the mine's existing footprint.
Comprehensive technical assessment - Including traffic, noise, water social, economic and greenhouse gas studies-confirm that extending operations for five years would result in no new or material
impacts beyond those already assessed and approved.
Importantly the mine sits within an established mining precinct continues to operate under strictenvironmental licences, and has demonstrated its capability to manage water, noise. sidence and emissions within regulatory limits. With ongoing improvements to water treatment, modern monitoring systems and transparent engagement with regulators and the
Community, the operation is positioned to maintain and enhance its environmental perormance throughout the extension period
Beyond maintaining compliance, Mod 11 directly supports the economic and social stability of the Lithgow region, Clarence Colliery sustains approximately 300 full-time equivalent jobs-approval for up to 400-and underpins local businesses, contractors, suppliers and community services. Its continued operation ensures rellable coal supply to Mt Piper Power Station, supporting NSW energy security during the state's transition period while renewable generation and storage capability continues to scale.
The mine is a significant contributor to local and regional economies, and its staged retirement must be managed responsibly to minimise social disruption Approving Mod 11 ensures continuity of employment, maintains critical energy supply resillence, and provides time for the region to progress economic diversification without imposing unnecessary shock on workers, families and local communities. This is a practical, responsible and socially beneficial decision for NSW.

I support this project as I believe it will continue the ability of Clarence Colliery to support the local community.
The colliery plays a huge role in our community through sponsorships, donations and support of various local community groups .
It also has the obvious impact of supporting the local community through the wages of its employees. I believe if coal mining left the community it would die because it is not ready to transition away from the it’s reliance on the industry.

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 believe the extension will be beneficial to the Greater Lithgow community.
