The Bloomfield Group and Foundation has been a major supporter of Youth
Off The Streets since our entry into the Hunter Community, and started
providing financial support in 1999. As well as the organisation
donating to our programs, staff also get involved via their payroll
giving program, and have also lent a hand at times through
volunteering. The organisation invites engagement and participation
and last year invited a group of disadvantaged youth to visit the site
and see what happens, and how they may be able to consider employment
pathways into the sector. The ongoing support of the organisation has
meant that we can also fund staff training and development to create
opportunities for the community. Without their valued support we
wouldn't be able to stay in the Hunter Valley community, and thanks to
their longstanding commitment we now have an expanded presence with a
drop in centre.

I would like to voice my support for the extension of Bloomfield As this
is an existing mine I believe it is imperative to maintain operations
not only for the ongoing employment of the current workforce, but also
the continuing economic boost it brings to the community as a whole
Hopefully this mine continues to operate for the benefit of everyone

The Bloomfield Group is an organisation that endeavours to ensure it
conducts its mining operations in a way that respects both the
environment and the health and safety of its employees and the wider
community. I support the Bloomfield Colliery modification 4.

I have been an employee at the Bloomfield mine for past 30 years. I find
the Bloomfield Group to be a trustworthy family company who care about
their employees and the environment. I support the mod 4 extension to
the mine.

I support the proposed mod 4 extension of the Bloomfield Mine because as
a local, all Australian company it supports the community that I and
my friends and family live in. The group is generous with their
donations and time to local charities, sporting clubs and community
projects. They employ a large local workforce and offer many training
opportunities to young people. They do all this in an unobtrusive way
with the highest environmental standards.

I support the Mod 4 extension at Bloomfield because; - we are an
Australian owned company - we are a family owned and operated company
- we employ local people - we support local charities - we support
local sporting groups - we make large donations to organisations like
the Westpac Helipcopter - we have a vision for environmental awareness
and the future in regards final land form - we closely we our
neighbours to achieve good outcomes
