I object the proposal to mine under the dooralong valley

As no one can possibly guarantee that there will be no impact to drinking water supplied to 350,000+ people on the Central Coast this mining proposal and any future mine applications must be rejected

I will not accept a computer model advising everything should be fine.

Projects like this provide essential employment and income opportunities to a whole tranche of small businesses like mine, that support the mining industry. The current economic climate has made it very difficult for these companies to continue to trade. This project would provide the lifeline for such companies. I would endorse this project, subject to the findings of the application process.

We at EDC Consultants support this submission and wish Wallarah 2 Coal Project all the best in the submissions and furture success.

This project will add value to the local and further reaching community and provide jobs and stability.

I am very concerned about the impact this mine will have on the local environment. Despite the EIS claiming there will be minimal impact, it is clear that the mine poses significant risk to the water table and will cause major damage to the local environment.

This mine is not welcome in the local community and should not be approved. The benefits in terms of jobs and export income will be temporary, but the damage to the environment and to the local community will be permanent. A foreign company will reap the benefits of raping our land, and we are the ones who will have to live with destroyed landscapes, land subsidence, polluted water and loss of animal habitat.

We do not want this mine!

I support this project.

The development of the Wallarah 2 project is important to the local mining community as there are some established mines that are either coming to the end of there life cycle or struggling to compete against the bigger collieries in the Hunter Valley and the Gunnedah region if Wallarah 2 does not get approval it will continue to hurt the mining industry, its suppliers and the local buisnesses as the men that work in the industry will have to either relent to fly in fly out mining or move their families to an area where the industry is still strong once the remaining mines close down.
Coalmines are well aware of their responsibilities to the enviroment and the subsidence issues, the mines are able to develop and design there mines to minimise the effect of these issues.The people that do not agree with the approval have no understanding of the way that mining is undertaken and thus are scared of the very unlikely issues that some people are declaring to gaining disapproval of this project.
I have lived around the lake macqaurie area for 43 years and know of people that do not realise that the local mines are very close to the places that they live I have 27 years in the mining industry as production worker and undermanager. Education of the mining procedure is the key to lesson the fears of people opposing this project.

We support the Wallarah 2 Coal Project Development Application due to the economic benefits of the project to local and regional employment and to the NSW and Australian Economy. We are a small business who depends on a strong mining industry and the flow on benefits from such a project is crutial to small business survival in the mining sector.

I support the Wallarah 2 Coal Project because it is committed to providing lasting benefits to the local community, without threatening residential areas or the Central Coast water supply.
Mining is proposed for only a small section of the Western area of the existing exploration tenements, with no plans to mine the eastern areas beneath Tuggerah Lake.
Great job opportunity for the local Wyong and surrounding areas.
I fully support this project.
