i support the hvo project as it has given my family a great lifestyle and would love to give my kids the same oppertunity

I am employed to work on the HVO Continuation Project but I am proud to do so as I strongly believe the project is good for NSW, good for the region and very good for the local community and the local economy. I see it as extremely important to support the many employees and local suppliers of HVO that have, and will be able to continue to, support their families because of HVO.
NSW and the Hunter Valley face a challenging time as the world's transitions away from coal. But we know southeast Asia is still building coal fired power stations and that there will be a strong demand for HVO's high quality coal at least until 2050. HVO is well placed to meet that demand which is why I support this project.

I work at HVO, My dad works at HVO. Multiple of my friends and family all work at HVO. It isn’t just a mine site. It is an income for a stable family that would have nowhere else to work. With majority of the other mine sites closing down soon. My dad & friends who are operators here would have nowhere to go. It isn’t just an extension to the pit, it’s an extension for peoples will to live.

Hunter Valley operations, assisted me in getting a trade and has given me a full time job. It’s a place I’m proud to work at and gives me a constant education.

I support the continuation of HVO North open cut coal project into the future as HVO has a strong commitment of mining coal efficiently and effectively rehabilitating the surrounding landscape back to how it should be. The mining of coal remains a critical resource and provides the energy which each and every single one of us uses on a daily basis for our essential needs. Coal is the number one source of power generation in the modern world which we live in

This continued operation will provide a huge boost to the local economy and the realignment of Lemmington road (especially the new hunter river crossing) will ease traffic in the region.

The continuation project for the North Pit is a very strong livelihood generator in all aspects of its direct employees and the extended people involved from logistics, labor hire, External repairs right across to the food needed for training days from our local food suppliers.
The continuation project needs to move forward to 2050 to help sustain all Australians with the revenue the mine generates for not only the local people, but the government gets its fair share of the pie also.
The government kept us producing during covid and we were known as "Essential Workers" which kept the economy stimulated during our mandatory lock downs.
The 1500 people that work directly for HVO and the other 4450 flow on jobs that are created help support the local businesses around the hunter and beyond.
It is clear that renewable energy generation is still not able to stand on its own two feet and it also seems most components are not recycle friendly either (Wind Turbine Blades, End of Life Solar Panels)
As much as coal is a hot potato it is needed here and overseas to create electricity generation for housing and industrial uses. the steel industry would not exist without coal also.
The mine has been moving with the times and continues to implement all controls to help with environmental impacts in all areas.
I am an employee of HVO, I also live in the Singleton district and support all the local businesses from food, fuel and daily living costs.

am supporting the project to keep mining jobs in the Hunter valley and supporting the local economy

HVO is a significant employer and contributor to numerous local schools, charities and organisations within the Singleton, Muswellbrook and Maitland area.
The security and longevity of this operation is vital not only for myself to provide for family but for another 1500 immediate employees and contractors that I work alongside.

The continuisation of HVO North would be a major benefit to not just the community but to my family as it keep me in a job an in the lifestyle I have given my family
