My employment and families way of life may be impacted if this project is not looked upon favourably.

I think this project is one of great value to the local area as it employees over 500 employees. This employment has a flow on effect to the local community in regards to suppliers , local services and community groups that are supported financially through sales and sponsership from Centennial Coal and its employees.

Centennial is a local employer and also a sponsor of some local sporting teams. If this submission is not accepted there would be a large number of jobs in the Newcastle area that work in the coal industry and the companies that provide services to Centennial.

This is a positive move during a trying time for the industry. This action will have a positive flow on effect for the region and community the project is based in by creating jobs and demand for support and services to support the industry.
