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.

Attached is my submission OBJECTION to this proposal.

Muswellbrook community needs the Mangoola North project to be approved. We need to keep the current people who work at Mangoola employed and putting money back into the small town. Not only will this project keep those already employed in a job for longer it will create more jobs for the upper Hunter. There will be more on going employment offered to those who live in the local community, our children will have an opportunity to gain apprenticeships to secure their future. Mangoola May be a small mine on the scale of things but the way they give back to the community they lead by example. Mangoola has the best rehabilitation of the land once it has been mined that it leading the way for other mines to follow in their footsteps.
Their are no foreseen negatives for why this project shouldn’t go ahead only positives!
Let’s keep locals employed, let’s create more jobs and let’s put the land back to the way it was before mining.
This is Mangoola!

The Continued development and expansion of our Thermal Coal industry is not just critical to the Hunter Community through it's creation of thousands of local mining jobs and many more thousands of support services. It is essential to continue to provide NSW and the wider east coast electrical Grid with a base load fuel supply, which will allow the state to keep their heaters on in Winter and Fans spinning in Summer.
Mangoola mine in particular is one of, if not the most remote Minesite in the Hunter Valley far from the eyes of our tourists that frequent the valley and far enough away that the minimal dust that is generated from their activities is negligible in the towns closest to the mine.
