The continuation of this project is vital. I myself have 3 young children under the age of 6 and my employment will provide my family with food, clothing, education etc for years to come. Hunter Valley Operations has the local communities best interest at heart and provides security and surety to its workforce. This continuation is essential to thousands of people. I encourage those in charge of the approval process to think of our young children and the local communities when making their decision. Thank you

The continuing of this project will provide my family with security for the next coming years. We are a part of the local community. We use our income to support local businesses and schools.

Allowing HVO to grow and expand keeps a lot of locals in a job and enables more jobs for others

my family and I will be negatively impacted financially and emotionally should this pit not be allowed to proceed past it's current 2025 approval.
It is my understanding that the current application will not exceed the pit's approved boundaries, so the positive contributions to the local, state and national economies far out ways any claimed negative comments raised by a few protestors.
I have worked for this site for over 5 years and believe that the Pit operators work within the environmental boundaries imposed on themon them.

Hey guys,

I am fully supporting this project due to the fact I have been in the mining industry for over 10 years and have seen how mining in small communities like the hunter valley let the towns thrive with work not only in the mines but also the flow in effect to other small Australian companies. The closure of this mine will make my family and myself have to move away to find another job which in this day and age is not ideal. The economy needs these mines to be able to keep growing. The hunter valley would it be able to recover if this project didn’t get approved and so many people would be out of work.

#keep HVO open!

Hi guys. I have moved my family to the hunter valley for a career in mining and what the local area has to offer. Without Hvo our chosen Lifestyle would finish. I can not imagine my life with this work. My entire family depends on my work. Our community depends on Hvo and the jobs it provides. I believe our countries economy depends on mining and to think that we could lose a big chunky of it scares me and my family.

The continuation of this project will strongly support my local community , my family and ensure a future for my kids.

The mine is great for my family and the community in whole. Without the opportunity’s the mine has given me, I wouldn’t be able to put back into the community myself through community sport and businesses.

is one of the largest coal mines in the hunter valley has around 1500 direct employee's and around 2000 indirect including many smaller businesses. that supplie to the mine it helps stabilize the economy pays billions in taxes back to the govement has help keep the country going through covid and many.world recessions. in the future coal will be in great demand and hvo has 50 years of top-quality coal to sell

Our community is dependent upon the earnings and investment provided within the community by contractors, trades, farmers, retailers and the professional disciplines, but especially the commitment mining makes to the area. Coal is a part of life here in the Valley, it has provided base load power and employment security to industry, business and our residential communities for generations, it has many uses and ultimately is a safe and stable energy platform haven proven it-self over history as such and is still being extensively used throughout the world.
In uncertain times a sovereign nation needs to ensure capability and capacity are secured, HVO North is not a new mine, and this expansion will continue to serve the people of The Hunter Valley and NSW.

During this period of history coal remains a contemporary sovereign security asset for the people. Glencore and Yancoal have both shown their willingness to abide by the strict and arduous rigour of the Industry Regulator. These are responsible companies who believe in our prosperous future and should be supported for their investment in our Industry, hospitals, schools, universities, and community assets such as sporting, social and welfare organisations and their community programs.
I support the approval of the HVO North Open Cut Continuation Program.
