Newstan, Mandalong, Myuna & Centennial Coal continue to support our local businesses

My family's way of life, as well as your employment, may rely on this Project

Newstan, Mandalong, Myuna & Centennial Coal all supported my meployer business Sandvik mining

Strike Force Services support the Northern Coal Logistics Project. We employee local staff which work in partner ship with centenial coal.
In the the years our company have been involved with centenial it has been a pleasure to see the amount of fundraiser and community support they have given back to the local communities.

I would like to support this application. The subject sites have been working mines for a large number of years. Centennial Coal employ many hundreds of people within the region and also support many local businesses, thus creating an employment flow-on. The basis of the submission is to allow the applicant to streamline their operations and make their business viable into the future - thus giving more stability to the employment in the region. The applicant are know for their generosity to local community and sporting groups and their continued viability will enable them to also continue this valuable support.

This is a fantastic opportunity for local business and will increase the employment opportunities over 25 plus years for Newcastle and Lake Macquarie regions.
I strongly support this project.

Greetings,

I am writing in support of the Northern Coal Logistics Project at Mandalong / Cooranbong and Newstan. rEscan International currently supplies goods and services to Mandalong Mine, and through this it helps support not only our local Morisset based employees, but our Central Coast and Newcastle employees.

The Northern Coal Logistics Project will help to maintain and offer growth for important income streams for government and private enterprise to help support good paying, high and medium skilled local jobs in the immediate vicinity of the Central Coast and Lake Macquarie. If the project fails to proceed there would be a significant opportunity lost for businesses in the region. In a sluggish and slowing economy with an uncertain future, any and all economic activity should be encouraged where the benefits are obvious.

It also helps to ensure our local employees continue to enjoy the benefits of the coastal and lake lifestyle, enabling an improved quality of life for them and their families as opposed to other developments further inland.

Given that the project will also utilise the existing infrastructure and works, this would also limit any possible negative impact to the immediate community amenity in exchange for increased economic activity and the benefits it brings.

If you would like any further comment or have any questions about this submission please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind Regards,

hello,
i would like to voice my support for the Northern Coal Logistics Project.
This project will help allow Centennial to continue to support the local community as a major employer and supporter of local businesses and sporting and community groups.
Centennial has a proven track record in setting high standards for there environmental impact.
Approval for this project will assist local coal support industries to continue to rebuild and grow after the recent decline in the coal business, this will be beneficial to countless local families in the lake macquarie region.

With out this extend we will be out of work.

With the current decline in both the mining and manufacturing industries in Australia we need to support projects like this to ensure employment levels are maintained and strengthen the central coast economy. The environmental impacts should be reviewed but the current strict policies should ensure that the impacts are minimised prior to project initiation.

I support this project which is desperately needed to help the local failing economy, keep local jobs and support struggling business.

The proposal makes a lot of sense as it expands on existing infrastructure at an existing site. Newstan has greatly improved its environmental management at this site in recent time and in my experience is a very committed and focused manager of its environment and impacts it has on the region in social and environmental terms. As a resident and ratepayer of Lake Macquarie Council, I consider that the employment and other benefits generated is of significant socio-economic benefit to the people in this municipality, especially in terms of more opportunities for younger people. This project gets our full support.
