My family has an active worker there who supply’s the household, the mine itself is great for the community and is beneficial to have for the Hunter valley and beyond.

For future job security , and keep small business in business

I support the project as an employee that is contracted to the HVO pit. I hope to gain permanent employment as its a great place to work and would love to have a future with the company and continue to see the success this venture stands to deliver.

I write to give my full support for the HVO extension project in the North.
I have been a part of the HVO team for 13 years now. It provides me with great opportunities that allows me to provide a great balanced lifestyle for my young family. The site and roster allow me to spend quality time with my 3 young children and wife. Be involved with the schools, sporting clubs and support my wife in her career.
The people at HVO are what set it apart from other workplaces. It's a real family environment.
HVO's approval will provide the community with countless job opportunities not only at the mine itself but all its suppliers, contractors and support the local community in the Hunter and Newcastle regions which would benefit everyone in those communities.
With the approval it will be able to continue to support local charity organisations, industries suppliers, schools and community grants. The employees of the mine, contractors and suppliers will continue to invest their money in the local community at the shops, cafes, bakers, pubs and clubs, supermarkets, restaurants etc etc. Their children will attend the local schools, tafes and participate in sporting clubs and organisations. This would continue to build a strong, vibrant and diverse local community.
In addition, with the approval the flood prone Moses crossing would be upgraded with a bridge over the Hunter River to allow access for the public and mine workers to Lemington Road in heavy rain events.
HVO offers educational assistance for their employees which I have been fortunate enough to use and will complete a trade upgrade through one of the local registered training organisations.
I fully support HVO and look forward to seeing the mine continue into the future and keep providing a great future and lifestyle for myself and all personnel involved with the site and community far and wide.

I currently work at HVO and have for 19 years and I support the project as it continues to support 1500 local jobs and local bussinesses as well as mining royalties to support schools and hospitals and continues with local charities and community organizations and is good for the economy .

To Whom It May Concern,
I am putting forward my full support for the HVO north project for the following reason's.
Living in small rural town there isn't a whole lot of work and the opportunities this project will bring in the way of trade and upskill growth is endless not including future employment opportunities for my young family.
The 24hr run site will continue to give the option of working days or nights to allow me to support my family financially and physically. In being home weekdays, I am able to support my partner in multiple extra curriculum specialist appointments my children need to further their education, speech, fine motor skills and physical abilities.
Finally, I would like to add the financial stability a large mine provides currently and into the future only further allows the support towards my small local community, businesses and town.
I look forward to the continued support HVO North will bring to myself and local communities in the ways I have mentioned above and in far more ways into the future.

Provides support for the local community

I work at HVO and support the continuation project I'm 31 years old and wish to stay at HVO for my whole working life it supports not only my family and I but thousands of others through community grants extended local business that poor money into our local community.

I support the project

I strongly believe with the continuation of the HVO North Open Cut Coal Project that the local communities will continue to be supported and benefit from the project through charity events, donations and keeping the workforce and their families in the local area.
I am currently employed as a fitter in the coal mines and as a primary income provider for my family, I believe that continuing the project will allow my family and myself to continue to live in the area and support our local community.
