The extension will be good for the local community keeping people in a job and also providing an opportunity for more permanent positions to come available.

I fully support this project with its benefits to the Muswellbrook community, and, the people of NSW and Australia.

I object the project as it has been known that china and japan, our top buyers of coal are moving to cleaner energy. In 2023 they will stop buying coal from Australia, financially i strongly object to the coal mine being extended both in land and future monies. As for the environmental impact it is not worth it.

to whom it may concern ,
I am writing to show our support for the Mangoola coal continued operations project .
as the director of sawyers air conditioning which employs 12 people we/I strongly support the extension.
Mangoola coal has provided sawyers air with consistent work for the last 3 years , and we feel very fortunate to have such large corporations in our local area to help with local employment .
Mining in our local area is the biggest provider of employment and without companies such as glencore Mangoola many jobs are at stake .
scone itself being a rural town limits the opportunities for apprentices and workers alike, and with the continued support of Mangoola we can maintain our current employment and consistently employ new apprentices every year to learn valuable skills and become qualified tradesman .
being a small company and working with such a large corporation such as glencore Mangoola I cannot commend them enough on their professionalism and understanding conducting business with us .
currently at the moment Mangoola supplies sawyers with about 50% of its current workload and without the support of Mangoola it would put us under extreme pressure to maintain our current employee figures and employ new apprentices .

Mangoola coal provides employment and economic stimulation for the local community . with the pressure of drought upon us any loss of employment in the area would be a major catastrophe for the local community. the more jobs we can create the better.

This expansion project is critical to the longevity of the local community when considering the significant financial contributions, employment opportunities, and community investment - direct and indirect. The rehabilitation work carried out by the Mangoola operations are world-class (I have participated in a rehab tour on this site) and should be used as an example of best practice for the area, a training and education tool for the other mining operations in the area and around the state.

great for the community great for people to keep there jobs. great for the hunter valley people

To whom it may concern,

I am writing this submission in full support of the Mangoola Coal Continued Operations Project.

I own and operate Harvey Recruitment, a small business in Muswellbrook that provides Labour and Recruitment services to Mangoola Coal. I am proud to say that Mangoola Coal has provided support to my business since it started in 2010. Currently we have approx 60 employees within the business, retained in various capacities. In turn, this results in 60 families to provide employment and income for each week.

Our employees all reside locally and as such, Muswellbrook and the surrounding communities reap the financial and economic growth benefits of a flow on effect of families contributing to the local economy. This comes through many different avenues with the largest sector being Education, as there are over 100 children between our families attending local schools. Supermarkets, restaurants, local sporting clubs and charities to name a few, also enjoy a supplementary benefit from Mangoola Coal being in operation.

Additionally to the above, my husband is also employed by Mangoola Coal and has been so for close to a decade. Both my family and my employees’ families livelihood as we know it depends on the continuation of Mangoola Coal.

I believe that Mangoola Coal contribute greatly in the area, offer their support, sponsorship and sustainability to the community, and take their environmental responsibility very seriously.

Should you need anything further please do not hesitate to contact me.

As an employer of local people in Muswellbrook, Mangoola is critical to the sustainability of our business.
Locals supporting locals and the community.

I work for Glencore Mangoola. I live and contribute locally to the area with my family. Without this extension and continued operation of Mangoola, I would be force to relocate out of the area. I have personally seen great things Mangoola have done for the community and the environment of the local area.
