The Mangoola Coal Continued Operation project is a very big positive for the community. Mangoola provides a large amount of support to our local community not only through financial support but also helping run events and local services. Mangoola also takes their environmental responsibilities very seriously, they have a rehabilitation program which is second to none and is world leading. Choosing to support the Mangoola Continued Operations project is choosing to support the prosperity of Muswellbrook and the surrounding areas.

I think the continuation of Mangoola Coal is very important to the community. It is a large source of employment for Muswellbrook and it’s surrounding towns. This helps our community keep spending in town, supporting small and medium businesses. Mangoola take their environmental impact seriously with rehabilitation and care for the environment.
Mangoola also support local programs, sports and community events. They use local suppliers which also keeps our town afloat.
I see the continuation as a very positive result for the wider community.

I have recently been on a guided tour of the rehab area at Mangoola mine and was blown away with the major effort that has been undertaken and is currently still being undertaken in putting the land back to the way it was,from natural rooling hills , to stop errosion of landwhen it rains to replanting of trees that were in the area, places for wildlife to return ,feel safe to start breeding again. Santcuary for creatures that you forget would inhabit the area aswell. Well done and just wish the other mines in the area could follow suit. The extention would provide jobs and security for the area that is needed to keep small country towns going in these hard times.

I am currently working as a contractor at Mangoola mine and am absolutely impressed with the way this mine goes about everything to do with safety, mining, processing, transportation, environmental and community issues. I believe Mangoola should be granted as they are exemplary in all aspects of coal extraction and process.

I'm supporting this project as it will keep me employed

The continuation of the Mangoola Coal Operations Project is a key part in me being able to continue to support my family.
