I work at the operating, and i find mt pleasant supports the community

The mine expansion may create 1.5 million tonnes of greenhouse gas pollution in the next ten years and over 100 million tonnes emissions when used, all at a time when NSW is not on track to meet its legislated 2030 or 2035 emissions reductions targets. Adding further greenhouse pollution will do unacceptable harm to the public interest.

I understand that the local impacts of climate change caused by the downstream greenhouse pollution from NSW coal have to be considered by planning authorities. As this decision is now in the High Court, acceptance of this application will cause legal and practical confusion with environmental and social consequences for the area.

The Government's own advice from the NSW Net Zero Commission in December of last year is that continued extensions or expansions to coal mining in NSW are not consistent with NSW climate law nor with the Paris Agreement temperature goals.

● Approval would inflict harm on our people and our economy. The people of NSW are already dealing with increasing bills and escalating dangers from climate change fuelled extreme weather.

● This expansion is not a modification. It is not “substantially the same development” as the one previously approved (DA 92/97) and calling it a “modification” avoids independent review. This project must go to the Independent Planning Commission (IPC) for proper assessment.

I support the Mt Pleasant extension for a brighter future for the hunter valley for years to come

I’m in total agreement of this proposal because not only does it provide job and financial security for myself and my family but also the community and surrounding areas and businesses alike

Australia has the cleanest coal in the world if we dont sell it bangladesh or indonesia will pick up our contracts will dirty coal creating more pollution our comunity is coal driven not just the workers but small buisiness that runs off it if you close this mine it will hurt our comunity
