HVO provides employment for my partner and myself which provides for her and her three children, including better schooling, job opportunities and social activities. HVO is a major contributor to the Singleton and Hunter Valley community and is a major reason why there is community sport and events in our region. Without the long term security of HVO'S continuation the whole community of the the Hunter Valley is in jeopardy. The effects to the whole Hunter Valley would be devastating and would render it a ghost town of biblical proportions. Please consider all aspects of this continuation application thoroughly. Thank you

I write to support the continuation project. My comments are from economic grounds. I have family who live and work in Singleton. One of my family works at the HVO Site. He and his wife have chosen Singleton raise their family in this area. The mine provides one of them with employment. This provides value to the circular economy of Singleton, as their earnings are spent in the town. The economic contribution that the mine makes to Singleton includes grants and sponsorship. These assist the community in many areas including sport. This helps to build a healthier community.
The mine provides employment to many people living in the Singleton area. The mine has a local procurement policy. This benefits all businesses in Singleton either directly or indirectly.
i believe this project should continue to provide efficient energy resources until the world is ready to transition to a greener energy alternative.

I support the continuation project.

I support the project as the mine contributes money to the community through wages and those wages get used locally to support our local economy.

My father works at the mine as do 1500 other people, these families need an income

I support the project

My family has been employed by the mining industry for many years. The HVO continuation would be good for the local area. Coal should be continued as a part of the energy options into the future to provide certainty of supply. Employment of local people should be required as well as future planning for the area post mining.

I Support this Continuation Project.

I support this projects as I am I favour of continuing mining in the hunter valley that provide over 1million in direct and indirect jobs for the local community including me and my partners work. Local mines also support the community and local schools and organisations and not to mention rehabilitate (as I have seen first hand in my 23 years in mining ) the areas they have finished mining .

I support the continuation of the HVO Project which will continue supporting local jobs in the Hunter Valley which in turn supports our local communities.
