Submission	Singleton Neighbourhood Centre Inc (SNC) has operated in the Singleton LGA for over 50 years providing information, referral and support to the Singleton community. SNC is managed by a voluntary board, employs 3 staff and has 15 volunteers. The centre provides advice, referral and support, free clothing and food as well as breakfast and a cooked lunch 4 days per week. The centre is also a hub for visiting services that support the most vulnerable in the community. HVO have a long history of support for the centre and the community. Over at least the last 10 years they have regularly assisted the centre with: • Training for both staff and volunteers to better assist our clients and increase the skills base of the community • Funding for our food program and the hot meals we provide 4 days per week • Assistance from their apprentices in a range of activities from packing Christmas Hampers, assisting with meal delivery and unloading donations. • Governance training for the board This assistance is a small part of what HVO does in the community, its focus on social responsibility and actively contributing to the community is widespread and considered. Approval of this application will enable the centre to continue to receive much needed assistance, as will a range of community organisation. It will enable miners to keep their jobs, spend their money in the community and support organisations with their time and effort. Support industries will continue to operate. Extending the time of operation of the mine will allow a measured and organised approach to retraining, transition to renewables and rehabilitation to the land. This is a brownfield site, not a new mine, it is an extension to what is already operating within the community, providing jobs, training and community support. It has actively amended the proposal to meet the concerns of the community, government and interested parties. Approval of this application will benefit the community, the state and the nation by providing high quality coal with low emissions into a world market. It will also provide continued assistance to the local community.

Submission	The Hunter Valley is a mining town, if HVO were not to receive this extension the town would disappear. Me and my wife are employeed by local mining companies and know people who directly work at HVO and the amount of people that would have to relocate for work, would be ridiculous, as there is no other industry in the Hunter Valley that employes such a large number of people.

Submission	My family and myself rely on mining and it will directly affect us. Without HVO I would not have work. And that will directly affect my kids. They would not be able to go to school or have food on the table. It provides a roof over our heads. So many jobs will be lost not just employees, but all contractors and even the local community.

Submission	To the IPC, As a resident of the Hunter Region of NSW, I strongly believe that the HVO continuation project should be approved through to the requested Life of Mine. I am confident that all local and regional impacts to land and environment have been adequately addressed in the extensively reasoned EIS. The Approval of this Project represents a significant ongoing benefit to thousands of families within the Hunter region, and wider NSW who rely on both the immediate employment opportunities at the site, as well as many intricately linked support industries. While the Scope 3 emissions from the Project are significant, as the vast majority of these are to be incurred overseas, it is incumbent on the relevant nation to manage these in line with their sovereign Paris commitments. Preventing this operation from supplying higher energy >5500 NCV material into the global market is only likely to see increased demand from significantly lower energy (<4000NCV) materials, chiefly from global areas with significantly poorer safety records. As there will continue to be significant global demand for coal fired energy in the near term, I would much rather see the mining of this resource be in regions with strong safety and environmental records, and where it can benefit Australians rather than distant foreign nations. I strongly urge the IPC to consider all the benefits of this project for our region, and approve the Extension. Regards, [redacted],

Submission	I support the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects, subject to appropriate environmental conditions. As a Hunter Valley resident, I recognise the importance of mining to our region through local jobs, businesses and the economy. As this is a continuation of an existing operation, it makes sense to utilise existing infrastructure while maintaining strict environmental standards. I encourage the Commission to ensure strong conditions remain in place to protect air quality, water resources and surrounding communities while supporting the ongoing economic benefits the project provides.

Submission	To the Independent Planning Commission, I am writing this submission in full support of the conditional approval for the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects. As a resident in the local area, I see firsthand how vital these operations are to our community, but this issue hits especially close to home for my family. My brother-in-law has been a dedicated employee at HVO for the last 16 years. His income from the mine is the main livelihood supporting his young family. The threat of this mine closing in the near future is causing an immense amount of stress. Over the past 16 years, my brother-in-law has worked incredibly hard to build a life and secure a home for his wife and kids. If this project does not go ahead, he faces the very real prospect of losing that home and the stability they rely on completely. The economic and social health of the Hunter Valley depends on the job security provided by major operations like HVO. When making your determination, I ask that you heavily weigh the real human consequences on local households. These are everyday families who just want to keep their jobs, pay their mortgages, and raise their kids in the community they belong to. I strongly urge the Commission to approve the continuation project to protect the livelihood of my brother-in-law and ensure his young family keeps their home and their financial stability. Thank you for your time and for considering my views.

Submission	The Hunter Valley has been built on a strong mining industry that provides employment, economic stability and opportunities for thousands of families. HVO is a significant contributor to the region, supporting not only its direct workforce but also a wide network of local businesses, contractors and service providers that rely on its ongoing operation. The continuation of HVO will help maintain secure, well-paid jobs for local residents while supporting apprenticeships, traineeships and skills development. These opportunities strengthen the local workforce and allow families to remain in the region, supporting schools, sporting clubs, community groups and local businesses. Beyond employment, HVO contributes significantly to the local, state and national economy through taxes, royalties and investment. These funds help support essential public infrastructure and services including roads, hospitals, schools and emergency services. Australia will continue to play an important role in supplying high-quality coal to international markets while global energy systems transition over time. Maintaining operations at existing, well-regulated mines such as HVO allows this demand to be met under Australia’s rigorous environmental, safety and rehabilitation standards. I acknowledge that mining has environmental impacts, and I believe it is essential that these continue to be managed responsibly. HVO has demonstrated a commitment to operating within strict regulatory requirements, implementing environmental monitoring, progressive rehabilitation and measures to minimise impacts on surrounding communities. Continued oversight and compliance will ensure these standards remain high throughout the life of the mine. Approving the continuation of HVO provides certainty for employees, their families, local businesses and the broader Hunter Valley community. It supports regional prosperity while ensuring mining activities continue under one of the world’s strongest environmental and workplace regulatory frameworks. For these reasons, I respectfully support the continued operation of Hunter Valley Operations and encourage its approval.

Submission	Submission to the Independent Planning Commission – Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects Hunter and Coast Concrete Pumping has proudly provided specialist concrete pumping services as a contractor to KCE on works associated with Hunter Valley Operations (HVO). We have firsthand experience of the positive contribution HVO makes to our business, our employees and the broader Hunter Valley community. As a locally owned and operated business, the continuation of HVO is extremely important to our future. The work generated through HVO supports not only our employees but also numerous local suppliers, subcontractors and service providers who rely on ongoing mining activity to sustain their own businesses. Our company employs local people who live in the Hunter Region, and the income generated from projects such as HVO supports local families, schools, sporting organisations and community groups. Wages earned by our employees are spent within the region, supporting local retailers, trades, hospitality businesses and other essential services. This creates a significant flow-on effect throughout the local economy. The continuation of HVO would also provide certainty for businesses like ours to continue investing in specialised equipment, employee training and workplace safety. These investments allow local contractors to maintain highly skilled workforces and continue delivering quality services across the mining and construction sectors. The Hunter Valley has long been built around industries that provide stable, well-paid employment, and HVO continues to play an important role in maintaining that economic stability. Beyond the direct workforce employed by HVO, many hundreds of local businesses—including contractors, engineering companies, transport operators, mechanical workshops, equipment suppliers and professional service providers—benefit from the continued operation of the mine. We acknowledge that the Independent Planning Commission must carefully consider environmental, social and economic factors when assessing this proposal. We note that HVO has amended the project following consultation with the community and government agencies, including reducing production rates, implementing measures to reduce emissions and lowering greenhouse gas emissions over the life of the project. These changes demonstrate a commitment to balancing ongoing mining operations with environmental responsibility. From our perspective as a local contractor, the continuation of HVO will help preserve skilled employment, support local businesses and maintain the economic strength of the Hunter Region. Without projects of this scale, many local contractors would face reduced workloads, potentially leading to job losses, reduced investment and broader economic impacts across the community. Hunter and Coast Concrete Pumping respectfully supports the continuation of the Hunter Valley Operations North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects. We believe the project will continue to provide substantial economic and employment benefits for the Hunter Valley while incorporating meaningful improvements to reduce its environmental impacts. Thank you for considering our submission. Hunter and Coast Concrete Pumping Pty Ltd

Submission	Supporting Submission for the Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) Continuation Project Our national, state and local economies rely heavily on coal mining, so coal mining benefits all Australians. Coal is one of Australia’s and NSW’s most important and valuable exports. Coking coal from coal mines such as the Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) Continuation Project has ideal qualities for steel production and it has fewer impurities, such as sulphur, than coal from other countries. The project will support 1,500 full-time employees at the Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) Continuation Project. An additional 600 people will be employed during the development and construction phase. The federal government’s tables of multiplier effects shows that more than three times as many indirect jobs are created for every person employed in a coal mine. Over the past 4 years, HVO Project has contributed $6.9 Billion to the economy, including $3.8 Billion spent on goods and services from 750 suppliers. I quote a statement from former federal treasurer Mr Peter Costello who put the mining sector's poor public image down to the sector's pragmatic approach: "Miners tend to be practical people. They focus on getting things done and getting output. Their opponents are rhetorical people. They focus on stopping things getting done." Australia and NSW need to focus on the positive aspects of coal mining and its many benefits so as not be distracted by ideologically driven anti-mining activists. We should all be proud of what coal mining is doing for NSW and Australia. It is vital that high quality metallurgical coal is produced locally to supply Australian industries. Local coal production minimises transport costs and ensures high quality coke is produced. This assists Australia to maintain its competitive advantage compared with overseas producers. The submitted report on the Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) Continuation Project demonstrates its comprehensive coverage of all environmental issues. The benefits from the continuation of this coal mine are immense. The Project provides continued support for communities and infrastructure through taxes, royalties, and other government payments that help build schools, roads and hospitals. For all of these reasons I fully support the Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) Continuation Project.

Submission	Extending this HVO mining operation until 2045 would provide long-term benefits for our region. It helps sustain local jobs, supports families, and keeps money flowing through local businesses. The mine also contributes to infrastructure such as roads and community facilities that everyone uses. With strong environmental oversight and responsible mining practices, extending the project can provide economic stability while continuing to support the local community for years to come. Thanks 😊

Submission	I support the proposed Hunter Valley mine development and encourage the Independent Planning Commission to approve the project, subject to the recommended conditions outlined in the Department of Planning and Environment’s Assessment Report. The mining industry plays a critical role in the Hunter Valley and provides significant benefits to local communities through both direct and indirect employment. This project will help sustain jobs for mine workers, contractors, equipment suppliers, transport operators, local businesses, and many other industries that rely on mining activity. The economic benefits extend well beyond the mine site and support families, businesses, and communities throughout the region. At a time when many regional communities face economic uncertainty, projects such as this provide important employment opportunities, investment, and economic stability. The continuation of mining operations helps support local spending, apprenticeships, training opportunities, and skilled employment for current and future generations. I acknowledge the importance of protecting the environment and local communities and support the implementation of appropriate conditions relating to environmental management, rehabilitation, air quality, water resources, noise, and biodiversity. The Assessment Report and recommended conditions provide a framework to ensure these matters are appropriately managed while allowing the economic and employment benefits of the project to continue. Given the substantial contribution the project will make to local jobs, regional economic activity, and the broader Hunter Valley economy, I respectfully urge the Commission to approve the development application. Thank you for considering my submission.

Without this we would both have to work full time and have our boys in care. HVO, employs so many people with families and this is a similar case for them. Mining in particular is a major backbone for the Newcastle/ Hunter area and without it the area will not thrive and offer so many fantastic opportunities.

Submission	I believe at this point in time the local communities are totally dependent on the mining industry from the employment opportunities created both directly & indirectly along with the revenue distributed back into the local community. The approval of this continuation project will greatly benefit the local community.

Submission	I fully support coal mining in the Hunter Valley. The loss of jobs from closure of HVO would be incredibly destructive to the area, and the harm to the energy infrastructure would be similar.

Submission	I am an employee at HVO and a local Singleton resident. This continuation project would substantially benefit my family, my community and my own future. This would provide an opportunity to further extend my career and be able to support my family who mostly reside in the Singleton area. If this project is denied, my life would be greatly impacted and would most likely see my career and financial life restart. HVO has been a great employer and we all would like to see nothing better than the project given the approval.

Submission	As an employee of HVO, securing the approval of the continuation ensures security of my future employment in the region as well as providing a secure income to provide for my family. Approving the continuation would also ensure ongoing economic support to the region that it would otherwise not have if it were not for the mine. The industry provides thousands of jobs both directly and indirectly and the entire region would be poorer for not having it. The continuation approval provides both job and financial security for my family as well as the families of thousands of other. In my opinion it is integral to the region that the approval be granted

Submission	Submission in Support of the Continuation of Hunter Valley Operations I strongly support the continuation of Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) and believe it remains an important part of the Hunter Valley’s economy, workforce, and community. HVO provides secure, well-paid employment for hundreds of workers and supports many more jobs through contractors, suppliers, and local businesses. The mine allows families to remain in the region, supports apprenticeships and career development, and contributes to the long-term prosperity of surrounding communities. The economic contribution of HVO extends well beyond the mine site. Wages earned by employees are spent in local towns, supporting small businesses, accommodation providers, retail stores, trades, hospitality, and other essential services. In addition, the royalties and taxes generated by the operation help fund public infrastructure and services that benefit communities across New South Wales. HVO has demonstrated a commitment to operating responsibly by complying with strict environmental regulations and implementing rehabilitation programs throughout the life of the mine. Ongoing environmental monitoring, progressive rehabilitation, and continual improvements to operational practices help minimise impacts while allowing valuable natural resources to be developed. Coal from the Hunter Valley continues to play an important role in international energy and steelmaking markets. Continuing operations at HVO supports Australia’s reputation as a reliable supplier while contributing to export earnings that strengthen the national economy. As someone familiar with the mining industry, I have seen firsthand the opportunities it provides to workers and regional communities. Continuing Hunter Valley Operations will help maintain employment, support local businesses, and provide economic stability while Australia continues its broader transition to lower-emission technologies over time. For these reasons, I support the continued operation of Hunter Valley Operations and encourage the approval of its ongoing activities. I believe this represents a balanced approach that recognises both the importance of environmental responsibility and the significant social and economic benefits the operation provides to the Hunter Valley and New South Wales.

Submission	I am writing to express my support for the proposed extension of the HVO Project to 2045. I have a unique perspective on the project as I am a neighbouring tenant of the mine, an employee of HVO, and the owner of a small local business operating in the area. These roles have given me firsthand experience of both the mine’s operations and its importance to the local community. The Hunter Valley is entering a period where several mining operations are approaching the end of their mine life. As those operations wind down, projects that can continue operating will play an important role in maintaining employment, supporting local businesses, and providing economic stability across the region. As a neighbouring tenant, I have experienced what it is like to live and work alongside the mine. I understand both the benefits and the responsibilities that come with mining operating in our region. In my experience, the project has coexisted with the surrounding community while providing significant employment and investment. As both an employee and a small business owner, I also see the wider benefits that extend beyond the mine itself. Secure employment allows families to remain in the area, supports local businesses, and helps sustain schools, sporting clubs, community organisations and essential services. My own business relies on a strong local economy, and the continuation of HVO provides confidence for ongoing investment and growth. With a number of nearby mines expected to close over the coming years, the extension of HVO to 2045 would help provide certainty for workers, businesses and the wider Hunter Valley community. I respectfully ask that the proposed extension be approved.

Submission	We still need mining to support our community and fund growth in Australia, the demand for coal is still growing around the world, we have some of the cleanest and safest mines in the world that minimise impact, apart from the economic loss if HVO is not approved, the coal will just come from another country with no change to emissions, I support HVO - it just makes sense.

Submission	I am writing to express my full support for the proposed HVO mine extension. As an Aboriginal woman working in the mining industry, I have personally experienced how mining can change a person’s life. Mining has given me stable employment, financial independence, valuable skills, confidence and the opportunity to build a better future for myself and my family. It has allowed me to provide for my children, grow professionally and create opportunities that may not have otherwise been available to me. The mining industry does more than provide a pay packet. It gives people purpose, structure, training and the chance to build long-term careers. It creates opportunities for people from many different backgrounds, including women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, young people, local families and those entering the industry for the first time. The HVO extension has the potential to continue supporting hundreds of workers and their families across the Hunter Valley. It also supports contractors, local businesses, apprenticeships, training programs and community organisations. The flow-on benefits reach well beyond the mine itself, helping to keep local towns, schools and businesses strong. For many families, secure mining employment can mean being able to pay a mortgage or rent, put food on the table, support children through school and build a stable life. These jobs are especially important in regional communities, where long-term and well-paid employment opportunities can be limited. HVO also has an opportunity to continue creating meaningful pathways for Aboriginal people through employment, training, mentoring and career development. With the right commitments, the extension can support greater participation and provide lasting opportunities for future generations. I understand the importance of responsible environmental management, cultural heritage protection and strong conditions of consent. I support the project being operated responsibly, transparently and with appropriate safeguards in place. Based on my own experience, I know how life-changing a career in mining can be. I strongly support the HVO mine extension and the employment, training, economic and community opportunities it can continue to provide throughout the Hunter Valley

Submission	To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express my support for the proposed extension of Hunter Valley Operations (HVO), extending the life of HVO North Mine from 2026 to 2045 and HVO South Mine from 2030 to 2042. HVO has been a cornerstone of the Upper Hunter for more than 75 years, providing employment, supporting local businesses, and contributing significantly to the regional and NSW economies. Over the past four years alone, HVO has contributed $6.9 billion to the economy, including $3.8 billion spent on goods and services through a network of approximately 750 suppliers. Importantly, this proposal does not involve the development of a new mine, nor does it seek to increase approved annual production rates. Rather, it provides a practical pathway to continue existing operations while maintaining economic stability and employment opportunities for the region. The project also delivers several community and infrastructure benefits, including the realignment of Lemington Road and construction of a new bridge to replace the flood-prone Moses Crossing, providing a safer and more reliable transport route during wet weather. Planned upgrades to water management infrastructure, including improvements to Parnells Dam and Lake James, together with new flood protection levees and drainage systems, will further enhance environmental and operational resilience. In addition, the proposal includes upgrades to key processing, rail loading, telecommunications, and electricity infrastructure to support efficient and responsible operations, while applying the latest natural landform design principles to deliver improved rehabilitation and final landform outcomes. For these reasons, I strongly support the HVO Extension Project and the ongoing contribution it will make to local communities, regional employment, and the broader NSW economy.

Submission	I support the approval of the Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects due to their critical importance to employment, the regional economy, and the long-term sustainability of the Hunter Valley workforce. The continuation of HVO is expected to support approximately 1,500 direct jobs, in addition to the many contractors, suppliers and local businesses that rely on the operation. These are not just numbers; they represent families, communities and skilled workers whose livelihoods depend on ongoing employment. The Hunter Valley mining industry is already facing significant workforce challenges as several operations approach the end of their mine life around 2030. Many of these sites are actively planning for workforce transitions and redeployment opportunities. The continuation of HVO is a key part of that broader transition. If HVO does not receive approval to continue operating, approximately 1,500 employees will also require alternative employment. This creates a significant challenge for the region. Not only will HVO employees require redeployment, but workers from other mine sites scheduled to close over the coming years will also be seeking employment at the same time. Without HVO providing ongoing employment opportunities, there will be substantially fewer positions available to absorb these highly skilled workers, increasing the risk of unemployment, workforce displacement and the loss of experienced mining professionals from the region. The economic consequences would extend well beyond HVO itself. Reduced employment would impact local businesses, contractors, service providers and communities throughout the Hunter Valley, affecting regional investment, spending and economic stability. Approving the continuation projects would provide certainty for workers, support a managed transition for the regional mining workforce, and help preserve the skills, experience and economic contribution that underpin the Hunter Valley's economy. For these reasons, I strongly support the approval of the Hunter Valley Operations North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects.

Submission	Hello. I am writing this to put forward my interest in the HVO project going ahead. My main concern with it not being approved is the inevitable breakdown of the Hunter valley with such a large blow to the local economy and the fact that 1500 plus families will more than likely have to move to continue working in the industry.

Submission	Submission to the Independent Planning Commission Re: Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) North and South Continuation Project Dear Commissioners, I appreciate the opportunity to provide this submission in support of the Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) Continuation Project. My name is Bruce Gould, and I have worked in the Australian mining industry for more than 30 years, including the past 16 years in the Hunter Valley. I currently hold the position of Mine Manager at a large Hunter Valley coal mine. Prior to my current role, I spent six years as Mine Manager at Hunter Valley Operations. This submission reflects my personal views, informed by over three decades of practical operational experience and leadership within the mining industry. Professional Perspective Throughout my career I have been responsible for balancing four equally important priorities: • protecting the safety and health of our workforce; • protecting the environment; • meeting community expectations; and • delivering the operational performance necessary to sustain employment and regional prosperity. As a Mine Manager I understand the level of accountability associated with operating a large mining business in New South Wales. Every day, decisions are made that consider environmental approvals, rehabilitation commitments, statutory obligations, community expectations and operational performance. These responsibilities have given me a detailed appreciation of the robust regulatory framework under which our industry operates, and the significant resources required to maintain compliance. For this reason, I offer my full support for the HVO Continuation Project. A Continuation of an Existing Operation The HVO Continuation Project is fundamentally different from developing a completely new mine. The proposal seeks approval to continue mining at an established operation using existing mining infrastructure, processing facilities, transport corridors and a highly skilled workforce. It does not seek to establish a new mining district or substantially increase the approved annual production rate. Rather, it extends the life of an operation that has been an important part of the Hunter Valley for decades. From a planning perspective, continuing an existing operation makes sound environmental and economic sense. Existing infrastructure has already been developed, environmental management systems are already established, rehabilitation planning is well advanced, and the workforce is already living within the surrounding communities. In my opinion, continuing an existing operation is generally a more responsible approach than requiring equivalent production to be sourced from entirely new developments requiring additional disturbance and new infrastructure. The Importance of Mining to the Hunter Valley Over more than thirty years I have seen firsthand the contribution mining has made to the Hunter Valley. Mining supports schools, sporting clubs, community organisations, small businesses, transport companies, engineering firms, contractors, hospitality businesses and countless local suppliers. While attention is often focused on the direct workforce, the true economic contribution extends far beyond those employed at the mine. HVO currently employs around 1,500 people, spends more than $1 billion each year on goods and services, supports almost 800 suppliers, and contributes approximately $1.76 billion annually to the economy. Between 2022 and 2025, HVO reported a direct economic contribution of almost $6.9 billion and paid approximately $1.77 billion in taxes and royalties. These are not simply numbers. They represent families paying mortgages, apprentices learning trades, local businesses investing with confidence and regional communities continuing to prosper. Employment and Future Generations This issue is also deeply personal. My daughter works as a heavy plant operator, and my son is a heavy plant mechanic. Both have chosen to build their careers within the Hunter Valley mining industry. Like many parents, I hope they can continue living and working in the Hunter Valley, raising their own families and contributing to the communities in which they grew up. Mining provided me with a rewarding career over more than thirty years. I hope future generations have access to the same opportunities. Projects such as the HVO Continuation Project provide long-term certainty for apprentices, tradespeople, engineers, environmental professionals and equipment operators. These are highly skilled careers that support families and help retain talented young people within regional New South Wales. Modern Mining Has Changed One of the greatest changes I have witnessed during my career has been the transformation of our industry. The mining industry operating today is fundamentally different from the industry in which I began my career. Technology has transformed how mines are designed and operated. Real-time environmental monitoring, sophisticated dust suppression systems, water recycling, noise monitoring, GPS machine guidance, advanced rehabilitation techniques and improved environmental management have become standard practice. Likewise, safety culture has evolved dramatically. Today's mining operations are built around risk management, continuous improvement, workforce consultation and learning from incidents. The same philosophy now applies to environmental management. Environmental performance is monitored continuously, reviewed daily and reported transparently. Environmental Responsibility I acknowledge that mining creates environmental impacts. That is an unavoidable reality of extracting natural resources. The important question for the Commission is not whether impacts exist, but whether they can be effectively managed within an appropriate regulatory framework. Based on my professional and personal experience at HVO, I believe they can. Modern mining operations in New South Wales operate under one of the world's most comprehensive regulatory systems. Development consent conditions, environmental protection licences, independent audits, regular inspections, community consultation and ongoing environmental monitoring provide multiple layers of oversight. Over the course of my career, I have seen environmental performance become one of the highest priorities within mining businesses. As Mine Manager, environmental performance is considered alongside safety in every operational decision. Poor environmental performance is unacceptable. Progressive Rehabilitation Progressive rehabilitation demonstrates the industry's commitment to responsible land stewardship. Rather than delaying rehabilitation until mining ceases, disturbed areas are progressively reshaped, topsoil is replaced and vegetation is established throughout the life of the mine. This approach allows rehabilitation techniques to be refined over time while progressively reducing the final rehabilitation liability. The Hunter Valley has become recognised nationally for the advances made in mine rehabilitation, and I believe continued improvement will remain a priority throughout the life of the HVO Continuation Project. Australia's Role Australia has earned an international reputation as a reliable supplier of high-quality coal produced under strong environmental and workplace standards. While global energy markets continue to change, demand for both thermal coal and metallurgical coal remains. If that demand continues to exist, I believe it is preferable that it is supplied by countries such as Australia, where mining occurs under transparent regulation, independent oversight and high safety and environmental expectations. The People Behind the Industry Throughout my career I have worked alongside thousands of operators, mechanics, electricians, engineers, environmental scientists, surveyors, planners, geologists, supervisors and apprentices. They are hardworking people who care deeply about doing their jobs well. They take pride in operating safely. They care about protecting the environment. They volunteer in sporting clubs. They coach junior teams. They support local charities. They are members of the communities in which they live. Public discussion about mining often focuses on companies. My experience has been that the real strength of the industry is its people. A Balanced Decision I appreciate that the Independent Planning Commission must consider both the benefits and the environmental impacts of this proposal. I also recognise that there are differing views within the community about the future of coal mining and Australia's energy transition. Those views deserve to be considered respectfully. In my opinion, however, the HVO Continuation Project represents a balanced proposal. It extends an existing operation rather than creating a new one. It utilises established infrastructure. It supports approximately 1,500 ongoing jobs, local businesses and the broader Hunter Valley economy while remaining subject to comprehensive environmental assessment and regulatory oversight. Conclusion After more than 30 years in the Australian mining industry, including 16 years in the Hunter Valley and six years as Mine Manager at Hunter Valley Operations, I remain proud of the contribution our industry has made to regional New South Wales. Mining has provided me with a rewarding career, enabled me to raise my family in the Hunter Valley and now provides meaningful careers for both of my children. I have also seen our industry continually improve its safety performance, environmental stewardship and engagement with the communities in which we operate. The HVO Continuation Project provides an opportunity to continue that improvement while protecting employment, supporting local businesses and making effective use of existing infrastructure. For these reasons, I respectfully support approval of the Hunter Valley Operations Continuation Project and ask the Independent Planning Commission to approve the application. Thank you for considering my submission. Yours faithfully, Bruce Gould Hunter Valley, New South Wales References 1. Hunter Valley Operations.

Submission	Submission in Support of the Hunter Valley Operations Continuation Project To the Independent Planning Commission, My name is Andrew Green, and I am writing to express my strong support for the Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) Continuation Project. I have lived and worked in the Hunter Valley since late 2005 and have spent my entire professional career in the local coal mining industry. I began my career as a Graduate Mining Engineer and have worked across several open cut coal mining operations throughout the Hunter Valley over the past 20 years. During that time, I have seen firsthand the significant contribution that mining makes to the region's economy, communities, and families. The Hunter Valley has become my home. It is where I have built my career, started a family, developed lasting friendships, and established strong connections within the community. Throughout my time in the industry, I have worked alongside people from all walks of life, including operators, tradespeople, engineers, environmental professionals, contractors, and local business owners. Many of these people have built their livelihoods around the opportunities provided by mining, and the success of local communities is closely linked to the success of the industry. Mining has provided me with rewarding career opportunities, professional development, and long-term employment. It has also created opportunities for thousands of others through apprenticeships, traineeships, graduate programs, and skilled employment. Beyond those employed directly by mining companies, there are countless local businesses that rely on mining activity to support jobs and investment throughout the region. In my current role as Tailings Superintendent at Bulga Surface Operations, I am directly involved in managing systems that support environmental compliance, risk management, and responsible mining practices. Over the course of my career, I have seen significant improvements in environmental management, rehabilitation practices, water management, and operational controls across the industry. Modern mining operations work under strict regulatory frameworks and are committed to continually improving their environmental performance while maintaining safe and productive workplaces. I believe the continuation of HVO is a sensible and responsible proposal. It is an existing operation with established infrastructure, experienced personnel, proven environmental management systems, and a demonstrated history of operating within a highly regulated environment. Continuing operations utilises existing infrastructure rather than requiring development of entirely new mining areas elsewhere. From both a professional and personal perspective, I have confidence in the industry's commitment to safety, environmental management, and progressive rehabilitation. Throughout my career, I have witnessed substantial areas of mined land being rehabilitated and returned to productive use, demonstrating the long-term commitment mining companies make to managing their environmental responsibilities. The Hunter Valley has a long history of responsible resource development and remains one of Australia's most important mining regions. The continuation of HVO will help sustain employment, support local businesses, maintain investment in the region, and provide ongoing opportunities for future generations of workers and their families. For these reasons, I respectfully support the approval of the Hunter Valley Operations Continuation Project and thank the Commission for considering my submission. Yours sincerely, Andrew Green Tailings Superintendent Bulga Surface Operations Hunter Valley, NSW

Submission	As a resident of the Upper Hunter and someone who understands the importance of mining to our region, I believe the continuation of HVO is essential for the economic and social wellbeing of Muswellbrook, Singleton, and the wider Hunter Valley.

In 2024 alone, HVO supported approximately 1,515 full-time equivalent jobs, paid $224 million in wages and salaries, spent $1.05 billion on goods and services through more than 700 suppliers, and contributed $276 million in taxes and royalties to governments. These figures demonstrate that HVO's contribution extends far beyond the mine gate. The wages earned by employees support local families and are spent in our communities through housing, groceries, schools, sporting clubs, hospitality venues, retail businesses, healthcare services, and countless other local businesses. Every mining job helps sustain other jobs throughout the region. The $1.05 billion spent annually with suppliers supports thousands of additional workers who are employed by contractor and service businesses. These include transport companies, mechanical workshops, tyre suppliers, equipment manufacturers, engineering firms, fuel providers, labour hire companies, electricians, boilermakers, environmental specialists, earthmoving contractors, and many other businesses that depend on HVO for work. The continuation project is particularly important because many other mining operations in the Hunter are expected to close during the next decade. HVO has the potential to continue operating until 2045, providing certainty and stability for workers, families, and local businesses at a time when it is needed most. The project is expected to maintain around 1,500 ongoing jobs and create approximately 600 construction jobs associated with the project. If the continuation project is not approved, the consequences for Muswellbrook, Singleton and surrounding communities would be severe. Thousands of workers employed directly by HVO and indirectly through supplier businesses could lose their livelihoods. The flow-on effect would be felt throughout the entire Upper Hunter economy. Local businesses would lose customers, community organisations would lose volunteers and sponsors, and families could be forced to leave the region in search of work. For many workers, there are simply not enough alternative jobs available locally that provide comparable wages and long-term employment opportunities. Without HVO, many people could find themselves reliant on unemployment benefits despite having valuable skills and a strong desire to continue working and contributing to the economy. The taxes and royalties generated by HVO are also of major importance. The $276 million paid in taxes and royalties helps fund roads, schools, hospitals, emergency services and other essential public infrastructure and services across New South Wales. The Upper Hunter has supported New South Wales for generations through mining, exports, employment and economic growth. HVO continues to play a critical role in that contribution. Approval of this project will help protect jobs, sustain local businesses, support communities and ensure continued economic benefits for both the Hunter region and the State of New South Wales. For these reasons, I strongly urge the Independent Planning Commission to approve the Hunter Valley Operations North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects.

Submission	I feel we need to continue mining coal and start using it in our own country. We are a mineral rich country and yet we do not utilise it. To me it just makes sense. The affect on local communities with job loss would be so substantial.

Submission	I make this submission in relation to the closure of HVO. I feel that both Economically and Socially that this would be a disaster, the economic situation in the present day would greatly hurt the Country’s stability, causing loss of employment to those not only working in this industry but supporting ongoing industries.

Submission	I am a member of the local community who has been employed by HVO since April 2019. In that time I have developed from an operator to a Shotfirer and then to an engineer. Hunter Valley Operations has provided these opportunities for me to develop professionally in a direction I would never have dreamed of. Throughout these 7 years of employment I have been fortunate enough to be able to purchase a house and provide for my family as well as grow professionally all the while contributing to the local economy. The care and consideration given to our local community through day to day operations is significant and always at the forefront of the decision making process. With all these benefits it would significantly impact both myself, my family and the local community negatively were HVO not succeed in gaining approval for its continuation. Regards, [redacted]

Submission	The HVO Mine is not a new coal mine. It contributes a large amount to not only our area of the Upper Hunter, but also Australia and the World in coal mining exports. My partner works at the HVO mine as an apprentice. Like him, lots of people will lose their jobs if the government enable the shutting down of the mines. Please consider the expansion to 2045 and even longer, because it’s not only a small group of people that it will be negatively impacting, it impacts larger communities, our country and the world.

Submission	I am currently doing my apprenticeship at HVO. HVO is an amazing place to work. I work with an amazing team of experienced people, many of whom are locals, and who make up a small number of the 1500 mine workers that rely on HVO to remain within, raise their families in and actively participate in local hunter communities. Additionally, HVO supports around 750 suppliers and contracting companies, meaning the importance of HVO for communities, families and the local and broader economies extends far beyond the mine gates. In fact, in the last 4 years, HVO has contributed 6.9 billion dollars to the economy. The HVO continuation project is not a new mine. It’s an extension of our existing mine, supporting future generations and the nation for longer, while aligning with government policies and emission reduction targets. It is clear this mine matters, and I would love the opportunity to finish my apprenticeship and carry out a significant portion of my career doing valuable work here at HVO

Submission	The continuation of the HVO site is a positive for the local and wider community. The Money generated from this operation provides substantial taxes for state and local governments. The mine supports the local community with donations and fundraising. Employment in the local area relies on the mines operation and this is not just direct workers at the mine but the support services provided by contracting companies and retailer. The impact of this mine closing would be felt nation wide due to the down turn in money generated by export coal. The mine has a good record for managing noise, dust , and has shown to be able to add value to rehabilitated land that has been mined previously. Adherence to EAP rules and regulations are taken seriously at the site and their is no evidence to suggest their attitudes would change going into the future. Apprentice training for mechanics and electricians that HVO provide is valued in the community and assists our younger generation get a foot hold in their work careers. The Energy source ( Coal ) that the mine is extracting is the best value energy available to us at this time. Their maybe cleaner fuel sources emerging into the future, but the current system and consumption of energy worldwide need to be supported by coal until the energy like nuclear, geothermal, and tide technology are coming online. It would be naive to think we can just switch to other major sources of energy overnight- there needs to be a transition period to make this possible. HVO is one of the many coal mines that are required to provide the world with clean coal until the new technologies are ready for the market place.

Submission	For people in the Hunter Valley, coal mining is not just an industry. It is the foundation of many local communities and the source of income, stability and opportunity for thousands of families. A decision to reject this project would have serious consequences not only for the mine itself, but for the wider region and for New South Wales more broadly. If this project is not approved, the loss will be felt immediately through reduced industry activity, fewer jobs and less support for the many local businesses that rely on mining. That includes not only people who work directly at the mine, but also contractors, truck drivers, tradespeople, suppliers, hospitality workers and small business owners. When mining slows down, the whole community feels it. Many families in the Hunter depend on the mining industry, even if they are not directly employed by it. Local shops, schools, sporting clubs, charities and community groups all benefit from the economic activity and community support that mining brings. If this project is rejected, that support will reduce, and it will be local people who pay the price through higher unemployment, less business confidence and fewer opportunities for the next generation. I also believe it is important to recognise that there is still strong international demand for coal, particularly high-quality coal like that produced by HVO. If NSW chooses not to make use of its resources, that demand will not simply disappear. It is likely to be met by overseas producers, in many cases with lower-quality coal and weaker regulatory standards. That would come at the expense of jobs and communities here in NSW, without changing the broader global demand picture. The voices that matter most in this decision are those of the people who live and work in the Hunter Valley and who will be directly affected by the outcome. These are the families, workers, business owners and community organisations who understand what this project means in practical terms. I ask the Commission to consider the real social and economic consequences of rejection and to approve the HVO North and South Continuation Project. For many people in the Hunter, this is about keeping their jobs, supporting their families and protecting the future of their communities.

Submission	HVO needs to grow. As a former employee of HVO, I witnessed firsthand the significant contribution this operation makes to our local community. HVO has built a reputation not only for meeting regulatory requirements, but for consistently exceeding expectations in community engagement and environmental stewardship. To see the life of this mine cut short would be a devastating blow to the Hunter Valley. HVO has enormous potential to continue delivering positive social, economic and environmental outcomes, and I believe its ongoing operation is critical to maintaining and strengthening our local communities. With the closure of Liddell Power Station and the anticipated closure or reduced life of other mining operations across the region, the Hunter Valley is already facing significant economic and social challenges. The continuation and growth of HVO presents an opportunity to help offset these impacts by supporting local employment, businesses, families and community organisations. I urge decision-makers to approve the continuation and expansion of this operation. I genuinely fear the consequences for the region and the broader economy if another cornerstone of the Hunter Valley is allowed to decline. HVO has proven its value to the community, and I believe it deserves the opportunity to continue making that positive contribution for many years to come.

Submission	To the HVO Project Team, I would like to express my strong support for the proposed HVO project and the positive impact it will have on our local community. As someone who lives and works in the Hunter Valley, I understand how important the mining industry is to our region. Projects like this provide secure, well-paying jobs, support local businesses, and create opportunities for apprentices, contractors, and families who rely on the industry. The flow-on benefits extend far beyond the mine itself. Local shops, tradespeople, transport companies, accommodation providers, sporting clubs, and community organisations all benefit from a strong mining sector. Continued investment in projects like HVO helps ensure these businesses can continue to thrive. Australia has some of the highest environmental and safety standards in the world, and I have confidence that the project will continue to operate responsibly while balancing environmental management with the need to support regional employment and economic growth. With increasing pressure on regional communities as mines reach the end of their life, projects that extend employment and provide long-term certainty are incredibly important. They allow families to remain in the area, businesses to invest with confidence, and communities to continue growing. For these reasons, I fully support the HVO project and encourage its approval. I believe it will deliver significant long-term benefits for the Hunter Valley, its workers, local businesses, and the wider community. Thank you for considering my submission.

Submission	To the Independent Planning Commission, I am writing in support of the Hunter Valley Operations Continuation Project. I am the owner and editor of @ The Coalface, a publication that works closely with the mining industry. While that gives me a unique perspective on the importance of mining to regional communities, my support for this project is not based solely on my role as a business owner. It is personal. My husband works in a coal mine. My sister works for a company that supplies the industry. Many of our closest friends also work in or alongside the industry. Like thousands of other Hunter families, mining is woven through our everyday lives. Over the years I have met and interviewed hundreds of people across the industry. What stands out is that these are not statistics or corporate entities. They are electricians, operators, engineers, apprentices, cleaners, mechanics, environmental specialists, business owners and families who simply want the opportunity to earn a living and build a future in the communities they call home. The proposed continuation of HVO protects around 1,500 jobs directly, but the impact extends much further. Every mining job supports countless others through local suppliers, contractors, transport companies, engineering firms, hospitality businesses, sporting clubs and community organisations. When a mine continues operating, entire communities benefit. I also respectfully disagree with those who argue that closing Australian coal mines will meaningfully reduce global emissions. The reality is that demand for coal has not disappeared. If Australia stops supplying it, other countries will continue to do so. Australia produces some of the highest quality thermal coal in the world, and it is generally recognised that our coal is less emissions-intensive than many alternative sources because of its higher energy content. Using higher-quality coal means less coal is required to generate the same amount of electricity compared with lower-grade products produced elsewhere. Closing an operation like HVO is unlikely to reduce global demand, but it may simply shift production to countries with lower environmental standards and lower-quality coal. If our goal is genuinely to reduce global emissions, that outcome deserves careful consideration. What I do know with certainty is the impact that closing or restricting projects like this would have here at home. It would affect families, businesses, regional communities and thousands of people who have built their lives around an industry that has supported the Hunter for generations. I believe we should be making decisions that consider both environmental responsibility and the wellbeing of Australian communities. HVO has spent years refining this project, reducing emissions where possible and aligning it with current NSW and Federal policy. That demonstrates a willingness to operate within increasingly rigorous expectations while continuing to provide significant economic and social benefits. I support the Hunter Valley Operations Continuation Project because I believe it is the right decision for the Hunter, for regional NSW and for the thousands of Australian families whose livelihoods depend on it.

Submission	I support the continuation of HVOs current agreement as it is not expanding its footprint or seeking new land to mine. HVO has reassessed its original proposal to mitigate excessive Emissions to meet current targets. HVO employs over 1500 people directly, thousands more indirectly and supports multitudes of local & regional services. Not supporting this extension would be a detriment to the local government area, thousands of local and regional families, support & sporting groups, businesses , and Australia’s export earnings. Go HVO!!

Submission	As a professional person who works in both Renewables and Fossil Fuel sectors there are a number items I often find conflicting the need for a transition to renewables but also the acknowledgment that without mining all other manufacturing stops. Steel production is most efficient with coal, hydrogen technology is in its infancy and as such the use of fossil fuels (coal) remains the primary source of manufacturing for the conversion of raw earth minerals into components for use in renewable projects. Combine this with the fact that Aus produces less than 1% of the 0.4% of the earths pollution for greenhouse gases would Indicate that the HVO project which is lining through existing rehab / overburden is not affecting native veg is to me a no brainer. When you consider the wholesale impact the ending of HVO production would have on surrounding towns, extended industries and the nsw coffers in royalties- simply turning of the tap is suicidal for the hunter valley. It is not a new mine - just the same mine going deeper in safe efficient manner. As mentioned earlier a no brainer for me.

Submission	Yeah mate, here’s something that sounds genuine: I think the HVO Continuation Project should go ahead because it helps protect local jobs and supports the Hunter Valley economy. A lot of families rely on the mine, directly and indirectly, and keeping it operating provides stability for workers and local businesses. As long as it continues to meet environmental requirements and rehabilitation commitments, I think it’s a practical balance between supporting the community and managing environmental impacts. It also gives people time to transition as energy demand changes over the coming years, rather than creating unnecessary disruption.

Submission	As long as there is global demand for coal, I’d rather see it produced in Australia, where mining is held to some of the world’s highest environmental, workplace safety and regulatory standards. Keeping the mine operating for another 20 years protects local jobs, supports hundreds of indirect businesses and provides certainty for families and the regional economy. If production simply shifts to countries with lower standards, environmental outcomes may not improve, while Australian communities bear the economic cost.

Submission	As someone who works in a local mine, I can understand the effect of the jobs lost for people, how it not only effects them, but effects their families if they have a family which most people do, the effect it will have on local communities not being supported from the mines, it would be a devastating loss, with most mines shutting down or being battled too close down, it makes it harder for them to get into existing work after being made redundant, with only few mines left open there is not enough jobs for the Thousands of workers needing jobs, coal is king and will be for years to come, we are not ready for renewables and I can confidently say if all the mines get closed we are screwed, every single person not even the workers in the mines, the local communities, schools, small businesses that are supported from the mines, hospitals everyone will be effected drastically

Submission	To the Independent Planning Commission, I am writing to register my strong support for the conditional approval of the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects. As a member of the local community, my support for this project is deeply personal. My son has been a dedicated employee at HVO for 16 years. This job is not just a career for him; it is the primary income that supports his young family. If this continuation project is not approved, the resulting job losses would have a devastating impact on our family. After 16 years of hard work, he faces the very real risk of losing his home and financial security. The stress of this uncertainty is weighing heavily on his young family, who rely entirely on the stability that HVO provides to our region. The Hunter Valley relies on the continuation of these established operations to sustain local families, small businesses, and community stability. Beyond the broader economic statistics, the real-world impact of your decision is about keeping local workers employed so they can continue to pay their mortgages, raise their children, and contribute to our community. I strongly urge the Commission to approve this continuation project to protect the livelihoods of long-term workers like my son and ensure that local families are not left facing severe financial hardship. Thank you for considering my submission.

Submission	I think the HVO Continuation Project should go ahead because it helps protect local jobs and supports the Hunter Valley economy. A lot of families rely on the mine, directly and indirectly, and keeping it operating provides stability for workers and local businesses. As long as it continues to meet environmental requirements and rehabilitation commitments, I think it’s a practical balance between supporting the community and managing environmental impacts. It also gives people time to transition as energy demand changes over the coming years, rather than creating unnecessary disruption.

Submission	To the Independent Planning Commission, I am writing to express my full support for the approval of the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects. Our family has deep roots in this community, and the future of these operations directly impacts us. Our son has worked hard at HVO for the past 16 years. His job there is the absolute backbone of his young family's financial security and serves as their main source of income. The potential closure of these operations is a massive concern for us. If this continuation is not approved, it won't just mean a change of job—it means a real threat to everything he has spent 16 years working to build. The thought of a young family losing their home and financial stability because of a shutdown is incredibly distressing. Operations like HVO are vital to keeping the Hunter Valley economy moving and keeping local families secure. When reviewing this project, I ask the Commission to look closely at the human element. This isn't just an industry decision; it's a decision that affects whether long-term local workers can continue providing a roof over their children's heads. I strongly urge the Commission to grant approval for the continuation project so that our son and many other dedicated workers in our region can keep their jobs and support their families. Thank you for your time and consideration.

There are families and communities that depend on this mine. To take it away or prevent it from continuing would be a crime in itself causing suffering and hurt to all involved.

Submission	To the Independent Planning Commission, I am writing to express my strong support for the Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) Continuation Project. The mining industry has been a part of my family's life for generations. I work in the coal mining industry, my dad works in coal-fired power generation, and many of my friends work at Hunter Valley Operations. For us, this project is not just about coal—it is about the livelihoods of families, the strength of our local communities, and the future of the Hunter Valley. Mining has provided stable, well-paid jobs that have allowed people like me to build a future, support our families, buy homes and contribute to our local communities. Every mining job supports many other local businesses, from cafes and supermarkets to mechanics, tradespeople and small businesses that depend on a strong regional economy. The continuation of HVO will provide certainty for thousands of workers, contractors and their families who rely on the operation. As someone who works in the industry, I know firsthand the high standards that modern mining operations are expected to meet. Safety and environmental management are fundamental parts of our work every day. I support the continuation of HVO because it is an extension of an existing operation with established infrastructure, an experienced workforce and strict environmental obligations. Continuing an existing mine is a sensible approach that balances the need for economic security with responsible environmental management and rehabilitation. The Hunter Valley has powered New South Wales for decades. My dad has spent his career in coal-fired electricity generation, an industry that has helped keep the lights on for homes, hospitals, schools and businesses across the state. While Australia continues its energy transition, coal remains an important part of the electricity system and a significant export that supports jobs and economic growth. My friends who work at HVO are hardworking people who simply want the opportunity to continue supporting their families and contributing to our region. An approval of this project would provide them with confidence about their future and allow the Hunter Valley to continue benefiting from the economic and social contributions that HVO makes. I understand that mining projects must be carefully assessed, and I support strong environmental regulation and accountability. I believe responsible mining and environmental stewardship can coexist, and that projects like HVO should continue to be held to high standards while providing the resources and employment our communities rely on. For me, this is about people. It is about families like mine, friends, neighbours and the communities that have been built around industries that have responsibly supported New South Wales for generations. I respectfully ask the Independent Planning Commission to approve the Hunter Valley Operations Continuation Project so that these opportunities can continue for current and future generations. Thank you for considering my submission.

Submission	Submission in Support of Extending HVO Mining Operations to 2045 I strongly support the proposal to extend mining operations at HVO through to 2045. As someone who values the contribution HVO makes to the local community, I believe continuing operations will provide significant long-term benefits. The mine supports hundreds of direct and indirect jobs, helping families, local businesses, contractors, and the wider regional economy. Extending operations will provide ongoing employment opportunities and economic stability for many people who rely on the mining industry. HVO has played an important role in the Hunter Valley for many years, and I believe continuing operations until 2045 is the right decision. The mine has demonstrated its ability to operate while managing environmental responsibilities and working with the local community. I encourage HVO to continue investing in environmental management, rehabilitation, and community engagement throughout the life of the project. Approving this extension will help secure the future of skilled workers, apprentices, local suppliers, and the businesses that depend on mining. It will also provide confidence for families planning their future in the region. For these reasons, I fully support the extension of HVO’s mining operations through to 2045 and encourage the relevant authorities to approve the proposal.

Submission	I support the continuation of the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Project because of the important role it plays in supporting local communities, employment, and the regional economy. Projects like this provide long-term, stable jobs for thousands of people, both directly and through the many businesses that supply goods and services to the mining industry. This creates opportunities not only for experienced workers but also for apprentices, trainees, and young people looking to establish meaningful careers without having to leave the region. The mining industry has consistently invested in skills development through apprenticeships, trade training, and professional development programs. These pathways help build a highly skilled local workforce and create lasting career opportunities across a wide range of industries. The economic benefits also extend well beyond the mine itself. Local contractors, transport operators, equipment suppliers, retailers, accommodation providers, and hospitality businesses all rely on the activity generated by major projects such as HVO. The continued operation of the mine helps sustain these businesses, supporting jobs throughout the wider community. In addition, a strong local economy contributes to better community services. The income generated through employment and business activity supports local schools, sporting clubs, community organisations, health services, and other essential infrastructure that benefits everyone living in the region. While it is important that environmental responsibilities continue to be taken seriously, I believe these can be managed alongside responsible resource development. Continuing this project provides certainty for workers, families, and local businesses while allowing the region to continue growing and prospering. For these reasons, I support the continuation of the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Project and the positive contribution it makes to employment, skills development, local businesses, and the long-term economic wellbeing of the Hunter region.

Submission	To the Independent Planning Commission, I wish to express my strong support for the approval of the Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects. The continuation of these existing operations is vital to the Hunter Valley region, supporting local employment, businesses and the broader NSW economy. This proposal is not for the development of a new mine but for the continuation of an established mining operation that has been operating responsibly for decades. The project also proposes no increase in approved annual production rates, while incorporating improvements to environmental management and mine rehabilitation. (hvo.com.au⁠) The Hunter Valley has long relied on mining as a major source of employment and economic stability. Approval of this project will provide ongoing employment for approximately 1,500 workers and create around 600 temporary construction jobs during infrastructure upgrades. It will also provide certainty for hundreds of local contractors, suppliers and small businesses that depend on HVO’s continued operation. (hvo.com.au⁠) Beyond employment, HVO makes a significant contribution to local communities through investment in infrastructure, community grants, sponsorships, charities and local procurement. The continuation of these projects will ensure these benefits continue to flow throughout the Upper Hunter while maintaining important royalty and tax contributions that support essential public services across New South Wales. (hvo.com.au⁠) I also acknowledge that the amended project has responded to government requests for additional information, including changes to the mine plan aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving environmental outcomes. The proposal includes improved water management, enhanced rehabilitation outcomes, safer transport infrastructure through the realignment of Lemington Road and replacement of the flood-prone Moses Crossing, and a reduction in final mine voids compared with previous proposals. (hvo.com.au⁠) While I recognise the importance of protecting the environment, I believe this proposal demonstrates that economic sustainability and environmental responsibility can be managed together through appropriate planning, regulation and ongoing oversight. For these reasons, I respectfully ask the Independent Planning Commission to approve the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects. Thank you for considering my submission.

Submission	I support Hunter Valley Operations as they provide so much for the local, state and Australian government areas. Without them we will lose millions if not billions of dollars in the Australian economy, in an economy not yet equipped to lose coal mining for many years to come. They provide much support and grants for the local communities caring for those in the workforce and among the greater community. This approval goes far beyond the needs of a select few or the 1500 odd people directly impacted. It goes to the extended family members, the community members that will be affected if these people lose their jobs. To the businesses that depend on mining for their smaller businesses to survive. Without Hunter Valley Operations 10’s of thousands of people, if not more will be in such a worse of position. As stated earlier, let alone state and national economies will be greatly suffered. This approval NEEDS to happen for so many more reasons, those that 10 fold out way the reasons not to approve the mines extension for the Hunter Valley region. Please for the Hunter, our Hunter families and friends and local businesses, approve this mine and all that it stands for.

Submission	Hunter valley operations provides jobs to over 1500 people in the hunter valley, not including the 800 subcontractors and businesses across the hunter who provide work to HVO. If HVO is denied their extension that’s 2000+ people out of a job in an already struggling economy and millions of dollars taken away from the Hunter valley not only by the local people but community grants that HVO provides for the local community. This would be devastating and extremely detrimental at this current time!

Submission	I support the HVO Continuation Project because my partner is employed by HVO, along with 1500 other local workers. We have a young family who we are raising and greatly benefit from this employment. These jobs are keeping local businesses alive and the Hunter is thriving. Without mining, the Hunter would be dead.

Submission	I strongly support the continuation of the HVO mining project because of the important role it plays in supporting workers, families, local businesses, and the broader Hunter Valley community. Mining has been a part of my life for over 40 years. During that time, I have seen firsthand the opportunities it creates and the positive impact it has on regional communities. Mining is more than just a job to me—it is a way of life. Four generations of my family have worked in the mining industry, and it has provided stable employment, valuable skills, and the ability to support our families over many decades. The HVO project provides secure, well-paid jobs for hundreds of people, while also supporting many local businesses that depend on the mining industry. From contractors and transport operators to local shops, cafés, tradespeople, and service providers, the benefits of the mine extend throughout the entire region. Australia’s mining industry operates under some of the world’s highest environmental, workplace safety, and rehabilitation standards. Continuing mining at HVO means these resources are produced responsibly while creating economic benefits for local communities and the nation. If production is reduced here while global demand remains, it is likely that supply will simply come from countries with lower environmental and labour standards, resulting in little overall environmental benefit. The Hunter Valley has a long and proud history of mining. It has helped build strong communities, supported local sporting clubs, schools, charities, and community organisations, and provided opportunities for generations of families like mine. After spending more than 40 years working in mining and seeing four generations of my family earn a living from this industry, I believe the continuation of the HVO mining project is essential. It will help protect local jobs, support regional businesses, and provide certainty for families while ensuring mining continues under Australia’s strict environmental and safety regulations. I respectfully ask that the HVO mining project be approved to continue operating for the benefit of the Hunter Valley community and future generations.

Submission	I am writing to express my strong support for the continuation of the HVO mining project. As the wife of a mine worker and the mother of our two children, I know how important the mining industry is to our family’s future. My husband has worked in mining for the past five years, and the opportunities the industry has provided have helped us build a stable and secure life for our family. The HVO mine provides more than just employment. It gives our family financial security, allows us to provide a safe and loving home for our children, and gives us confidence that we can continue planning for their future. Like many families, we rely on the stability of the mining industry to meet everyday expenses, pay our mortgage and household bills, and support our children’s education and activities. The continuation of HVO is also important for the wider Hunter Valley community. The mine supports local businesses, contractors, tradespeople, schools, sporting clubs, and many other families whose livelihoods depend on a strong regional economy. Keeping HVO operating means families like ours can continue to live and work in the community we love. It provides certainty, creates opportunities, and helps ensure our children can grow up in a region with secure employment and a strong local economy. For these reasons, I respectfully ask that the HVO mining project be approved to continue operating. It will help protect jobs, support local businesses, and provide a stable future for our family and many others across the Hunter Valley.

Submission	I am writing to express my strong support for the proposed continuation of the Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) North and HVO South open cut coal mines and associated infrastructure. The continuation of these operations is vital for the Hunter Valley and the many communities that depend on the mining industry. The proposal to continue extracting approximately 430 million tonnes of run-of-mine (ROM) coal through to 2042 and 2045 will provide long-term certainty for thousands of workers, contractors, suppliers, and their families. Mining has been the backbone of the Hunter Valley economy for generations. The continuation of HVO North and HVO South will help protect local jobs, support apprenticeships and training opportunities, and provide ongoing employment for skilled workers across the region. These jobs, in turn, support local families by providing stable incomes and financial security. The project will also deliver significant benefits to local businesses. Many small and medium-sized businesses rely directly or indirectly on mining activity, including transport companies, equipment suppliers, tradespeople, accommodation providers, retailers, hospitality venues, and professional services. Continued operation of the mines will help sustain these businesses, preserve local employment, and encourage ongoing investment throughout the region. Beyond direct employment, the economic contribution of HVO supports local councils, community organisations, sporting clubs, schools, and charities through spending, sponsorship, and community partnerships. Maintaining these operations helps ensure the Hunter Valley remains a strong and prosperous regional community. The Hunter Valley has a long history of responsible mining alongside agriculture and other industries. With appropriate environmental management, monitoring, rehabilitation, and regulatory oversight, I believe the continuation of HVO North and HVO South can continue to balance economic, environmental, and community interests. In an increasingly uncertain global economy, projects that provide secure employment and contribute significantly to regional and state economies should be supported. This proposal offers a responsible pathway to maintain essential energy exports while providing certainty for workers, businesses, and families for many years to come. For these reasons, I strongly support the development applications for the continuation of Hunter Valley Operations North and Hunter Valley Operations South. Thank you for considering my submission.

Submission	As an employee at HVO, I am proud to support the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects. HVO has provided me with stable employment that allows me to support my family and build a secure future for my two daughters. Working in the mining industry has given me opportunities to grow professionally while being part of a team that contributes to the Hunter Valley and the local economy. The continuation of these projects is about more than coal—it’s about protecting livelihoods, supporting local businesses, and giving families like mine the confidence to plan for the future. I hope these projects receive approval so that HVO can continue providing employment and opportunities for our community for many years to come.

Submission	To the Independent Planning Commission / NSW Department of Planning,I am writing to express my strong support for the HVO Continuation Project (North and South). As a local resident/business, I believe this project is vital for the economic and energy security of the Hunter region.I support the continuation of HVO operations to 2045 for the following reasons:Job Security: The project secures direct employment for around 1,500 workers and hundreds of temporary construction jobs.Economic Resilience: It will continue to inject billions of dollars directly into the regional economy, supporting over 700 local businesses and suppliers.Community Investment: HVO has a strong track record of supporting local communities through sponsorships, charity work, and a community grants program that has surpassed $1 million.Infrastructure Improvements: The project provides safer, more reliable road infrastructure such as the realigned Lemington Road and the new bridge replacing Moses Crossing.Approving this continuation will ensure that local jobs, suppliers, and the economic future of the Hunter remain strong.Thank you for considering my submission.

Submission	I am writing to support the application for the proposed extension for HVO. I am a local small business owner who works in many different sectors within the business industry. Some of these include, mining, energy supply, agriculture, local government and construction. I currently employ a team of 13 locals, all of whom have family members working in the mining industry. We understand the importance of employment within our local area, as we all rely of members of the community to support local buying where possible. This ensures that employment remains viable and small regional communities can maintain the required facilities to ensure the standard of living is comfortable in these areas. Given that we as a nation are currently transitioning to alternate power supply sources, it is important that we maintain coal production for power stations at this point in time. We are no where near the point where we as a nation can generate and store enough power required for households and industry requirements. So whilst we transition to these alternatives, we will still need to mine coal. It is important to note, that all mining companies in the Muswellbrook and Singleton Local Government areas including HVO contribute a significant amount of funding for local clubs and sporting organisations. If we close these business down, this has a negative effect on the communities both directly and indirectly.

Submission	To the Independent Planning Commission, I am writing to register my strong support for the approval of the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects. As a local community member, I am deeply concerned about the future of these operations because of the direct impact a closure would have on my family. My brother has been a dedicated worker at HVO for 16 years. His job there is the primary income for his young family. The uncertainty surrounding the mine’s future is incredibly stressful. If this continuation project is rejected, my brother and his family face the devastating prospect of losing their home and everything they have worked so hard to build over the last 16 years. It is heartbreaking to think of a young family being put in such a vulnerable financial position. The Hunter Valley community relies on operations like HVO to keep local families stable and secure. Decisions regarding these projects aren't just about industry figures; they directly dictate whether local everyday people can keep providing for their kids and stay in their homes. I strongly urge the Commission to approve the continuation project so my brother and the many other local families who depend on HVO can keep their livelihoods and their financial security. Thank you for considering my submission.

Submission	I believe the extension would provide a great benefit for the surrounding communities. The community is heavily reliant on the mining sector and without these extensions many in the community would become jobless, and be unable to support their families. This decision should not be up to someone who does not live in the Hunter area and just wants all coal mines closed. The extension of HVO will have no effect on anyone else except the Hunter residents. Without coal mines, Australia’s exports and the Hunter region would die. The renewable sector is no where near ready to take over. I am in full support of HVO coal mine extension, along with my entire family who have lived in this region for many decades, before the coal mines were even opened.

Submission	Our small engineering and fabrication business is in strong support of the proposed extension of the mine's operations. Our business has proudly supported the mine for many years, providing maintenance, fabrication, and engineering services. Like many small businesses in our region, our future is directly linked to the ongoing operation of this mine. The continuation of the mine is about far more than coal production—it is about protecting local jobs, supporting families, and sustaining the businesses that keep our regional economy operating. Every dollar generated by the mine flows through countless local businesses.The economic contribution extends well beyond the mine gates. For our business alone, the mine provides a significant portion of our workload, allowing us to employ local people, invest in equipment, train apprentices, and continue operating within our community. Without the certainty provided by the mine's continued operation, businesses like ours face reduced workloads, financial uncertainty, and the potential loss of skilled local jobs. We have seen firsthand the professionalism and commitment of the mine to operating safely and responsibly while contributing significantly to the local economy. The proposed extension provides certainty not only for the mine's workforce but also for the many contractors and small businesses whose livelihoods depend upon it. Approving this extension will help preserve employment, maintain confidence for local investment, and ensure regional businesses can continue to grow and provide opportunities for future generations. Rejecting the extension would have far-reaching consequences for hundreds of families and businesses that rely, directly and indirectly, on the mine's ongoing operation. We respectfully urge the Court to consider the substantial economic and social benefits the mine provides to our region and to approve the extension. Thank you for considering our submission.

Submission	Mining has always been an integral part of the development and history of our nation, mining has always been on the forefront of innovation and development of small to medium sized businesses throughout Australia. Coal alongside metals have been staple of the economic history of New South Wales. The closure or prevention of this project going ahead would have catastrophic economic impact to the local community and increase the tax burden and cost of living for the rest of Australia. The direct spending by mining companies has increased, with over $23.6 billion injected into the economy, reflecting a 41% surge in spending compared to the previous year. This spending includes wages, salaries, goods and services, and royalties paid to the NSW Government. The coal sector has been the largest contributor, delivering $19.3 billion in direct spending. The mining sector continues to be a vital economic pillar, providing jobs, investment, and fiscal stability across various regions of NSW. If this project is not allowed to contribute the result would spell economic disaster to the local community and suppliers.

Submission	Long term local member of the singleton community. My family has been in singleton for 50+ years and have had a number of local businesses with the town which have provide support and services to the local community and have also provided an ongoing financial benefit to my parents, partner, children and hopefully my grandchildren into the future. The success and longevity of our local businesses is the economic benefit and jobs that the mining industry provides as a whole, without this employment ours and other local businesses would not survivor. In addition to local business i am also directly employed with in the mining industry, i started my working career as an apprentice electrician some 30 years ago and have advanced my career to be a Manager. I would not have been able to succeed in my career without the support of the mining industry or stayed within my community if it was not for the Hunter Valley Operations and other mining companies within the Hunter Valley. Not approving HVO continuation will significantly impact on our town's economy and would force residents to move away to find other work, families would move to other towns, schools would be impacted and local business to close. I support responsible mining of Australia's natural resources and HVO operates responsibly, adheres to approval conditions to minimise impacts to the environment, cultural heritage and the community in which they operate and live. The economic contribution HVO make to not only the local economy but to the state is substantial and the impact of not have this should not be underestimated. HVO continuation should be Approved

Submission	Re: Submission in Support of HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects SSD-11826681 and SSD-11826621 To the Commissioners, I am writing to express my support for the proposed continuation of Hunter Valley Operations, including both the HVO North and HVO South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects. As someone who lives and works in the Hunter region, I understand the important role that mining plays in supporting local employment, local businesses, families, suppliers, contractors and the broader regional economy. HVO is an established operation, not a new mine, and its continuation provides certainty for workers and businesses that rely on long-term industry activity in the Upper Hunter. The continuation of HVO will help protect existing jobs and support ongoing opportunities for tradespeople, operators, apprentices, contractors, service providers, transport businesses and many other local industries. These jobs provide financial stability for families and allow people to continue living, working and spending money within our local communities. Mining operations such as HVO also support a wide range of local businesses through the purchase of goods and services, maintenance, equipment, transport, accommodation, fuel, engineering, mechanical support and other day-to-day operational needs. The flow-on benefits are significant and help keep regional towns strong. I also support the project because it will allow an existing operation, with established infrastructure and an experienced workforce, to continue operating under modern approval conditions. I believe this is a practical and responsible way to maintain employment and economic benefits while ensuring the operation continues to meet environmental, rehabilitation, safety and community consultation requirements. I acknowledge that environmental impacts must be carefully managed. I support strong conditions around dust, noise, water management, emissions, rehabilitation and ongoing community engagement. Provided these matters are properly regulated and monitored, I believe the social and economic benefits of the HVO continuation project are important for the Hunter region and NSW. For these reasons, I respectfully support approval of the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects. Yours sincerely, [name redacted]

Submission	Submission in Support of the Continuation of Mining Operations I was born and raised in Singleton and have chosen to raise my own family here. Like many local families, our connection to this community spans generations. It is home, and one of the things that has allowed so many families to continue living, working and building their lives here has been the opportunities provided by the mining industry. I understand that mining comes with environmental responsibilities, and I support the strong regulations and monitoring that ensure mining is carried out responsibly. However, I also believe it is important to recognise the enormous role the industry continues to play in supporting not only our economy, but the very fabric of our community. Mining has provided secure, long-term employment that allows families to stay together rather than having to move away in search of work. Grandparents are able to watch their grandchildren grow up, siblings can continue living close to one another, and young people have genuine career opportunities without feeling they have to leave the region they call home. There is real value in preserving these multi-generational communities, and once they are lost, they are incredibly difficult to rebuild. At the same time, our region has become home to many people who have moved here from across Australia and overseas to work in the industry. These families have enriched our community with diverse skills, experiences and cultures. They volunteer in our sporting clubs, support local businesses, become involved in schools, and contribute to the welcoming and inclusive community that Singleton is known for. Mining has not only sustained our existing community—it has helped it grow and evolve. The economic benefits extend far beyond those directly employed by the mines. Local businesses across almost every industry rely, either directly or indirectly, on a strong local economy supported by mining. Contractors, tradespeople, cafés, retailers, mechanics, accountants, accommodation providers, health professionals, consultants, training organisations and many other businesses all benefit from the spending and investment that flows through the community. Many of the community organisations we value also rely on support from the mining industry. Sporting clubs, schools, charities, hospitals, community events and local initiatives often receive sponsorship, funding or volunteer support from mining companies and their employees. This investment helps create the vibrant regional community that so many of us are proud to be part of. While there is understandably discussion around the future transition away from coal, I do not believe our region is yet in a position where that transition can occur without significant social and economic impacts. Diversification is important, but it takes time, investment and the development of alternative industries that can provide comparable employment opportunities. At present, those opportunities simply do not exist at the scale required to replace the contribution mining makes to our local economy. A premature reduction in mining activity risks placing pressure on local businesses, reducing employment opportunities, affecting community services and ultimately weakening the economic resilience of the region. Before expecting communities like Singleton to transition, governments and industry must first ensure the necessary infrastructure, investment, training pathways and alternative employment opportunities are genuinely in place. I believe responsible mining and planning for the future can exist together. Continuing mining operations while investing in economic diversification provides the best opportunity to support both current and future generations. Singleton has always been a resilient community. I hope future generations will have the same opportunity that many of us have had—to build a career, raise a family and continue calling this region home. Supporting the continuation of mining, while continuing to uphold high environmental standards and investing in the region’s long-term future, is an important part of achieving that outcome.

Submission	HVO supports directly, over the 1500 jobs which in turn supports the families and local businesses that these families support. Further than the 1500 people that are directly employed, there are hundreds that perform work on site where the same benefits are also procured, and the employees of hundreds of suppliers that HVO supports. A rejection of the continuation project would be devastating to the local economy. HVO provides an opportunity for the local community to flourish, and for local people to establish and build meaningful careers without having to move away. Local groups in the community, including aged care facilities, sporting groups, preschools, schools, special interest groups (including arts and theatre) reap the benefits of HVO every year. Every year, apprentices are brought into the operation as well and given an incredible opportunity to set them up for the future with a structure development program and good pay. Every year, developments are made to reduce the environmental impact and the rehabilitation efforts at HVO are fantastic. This is an operation where the people matter and the value of care is truly lived and breathed. I support this project.

Submission	Having previously lived in Singleton and seen firsthand the community and reliance on the surrounding job market i strongly support this project. This will maintain a strong and prosperous job market for not only the direct employees of the HVO mine at its current scale but also maintain the strong external job market whether it be for the catering company that supplies sandwiches for meetings, a parts supplier or a maintenance provider which all benefit from the continuation of this project within the community. This project is crucial for the continued development and prosperity within the singleton and greater hunter region. The second factor to consider is the impact on the NSW revenue stream. If this project does not continue this will remove a not insignificant amount of revenue from the NSW and federal governments through the removal of royalties, company taxes, standard income tax of employees from direct employment but also employment of people within the small businesses that support the project. This revenue would contribute to the continued development of not only the hunter region but greater NSW providing critical infrastructure and services that all of the state relies on. I believe that the stringent rehabilitation conditions placed on these projects at their approvals and the detail these companies put into rehabilitating their disturbed land is of a impeccably high standard and although the landform is not as it was previously prior to mining it has many considerations placed on it to be a close to it as possible. As this is not an entirely new mine the final void and change to the landscape would not be overly dissimilar to that of the mine if it were to shut today.

Submission	I am writing to express my personal support for the HVO Continuation Projects. As someone who has spent my entire life in the Hunter region I believe this project is important for local jobs, local businesses, the broader NSW economy and the long-term stability of the Upper Hunter. HVO is not a new mining operation. It is a long-established operation that has supported the Hunter for generations. In my view, the economic and community impacts of the project not proceeding would be severe. The flow-on effects would not be limited to direct employees. They would be felt by contractors, suppliers, small businesses, service providers, families, schools, sporting clubs and community organisations across the Hunter. The Hunter is already managing significant change as the economy transitions. That transition needs to be practical, staged and fair. Abruptly removing major sources of employment and investment before replacement industries are genuinely established would place unnecessary pressure on workers, families and communities that have helped power NSW for decades. I acknowledge that environmental impacts must be carefully considered and managed. My support for the project is based on the expectation that, if approved, the project will be subject to strong, enforceable conditions and ongoing oversight to ensure HVO meets its obligations to the community and the environment. With appropriate conditions, the continuation of HVO can support jobs, maintain regional economic strength and provide certainty while the Hunter continues to diversify over time. For these reasons, I respectfully support the approval of the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects. I ask the Commission to give strong weight to the social and economic benefits of the project, particularly the importance of employment security, supply chain confidence and regional stability for the Hunter. Thank you for considering my submission.

Submission	I am writing to express my support for the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects. I believe this projects will provide significant economic benefits for Australia by supporting jobs, regional communities, government revenue, and continued investment in the Hunter Valley. The continuation of mining operations will help sustain employment both directly and indirectly through local businesses and supply chains. I also support these projects because they contribute to Australia's energy security. Coal continues to play an important role in providing reliable energy and supporting industries that depend on a stable and affordable energy supply. Maintaining domestic coal production helps ensure Australia can meet ongoing energy needs while the energy transition continues over time. In addition, Australia's high-quality coal remains an important export that contributes substantially to the national economy, strengthens Australia's trade position, and supports the economic prosperity of many regional communities

Submission	I whole heartedly agree with the proposal for continuation of HVO Mine. Coal Mining is the most important, consistent and reliable energy provider for our country, and without it we DO NOT and WILL NOT have sustainable or reliable energy sources. Additionally, economies of small mining towns like Muswellbrook and Singleton (where I intend to reside for my foreseeable future), are built on mining. The Government has relied upon thousands of individuals working in coal mining for many years, and people have become suitably trained and experienced in these fields, and now wishes to pull the rug out. There are NOT adequate jobs and industry for thousands of skilled workers to relocate to, and renewable energy WILL NOT support these people in employment or otherwise. It's a nice thought to have 'renewables' as our energy future, but it is simply not achievable on it's own, and should be supported by base load energy sources like coal fired Power Stations. Glencore SUPPORTS initiatives in our local communities, and continues to better the lives of people where we live. In my personal opinion, the Government is negligent to thousands of workers, families and our local communities if they consider denying HVO Continuation Projects.

Submission	The HVO Continuation Project is important because it secures the long-term future of mining operations, providing continued economic, employment, and community benefits while making use of existing infrastructure. Extending the life of the operation enables the business to maximise the value of established assets rather than developing new greenfield sites, reducing the overall environmental footprint compared with constructing a new mine. The project supports ongoing employment for thousands of direct and indirect workers, providing stable jobs, apprenticeships, and opportunities for local businesses and contractors. It also delivers significant economic benefits through wages, royalties, taxes, and continued investment in surrounding communities and regional infrastructure. From an operational perspective, the continuation of mining ensures a reliable supply of high-quality metallurgical and thermal coal to domestic and international markets during the global energy transition. Coal produced at HVO remains an important input for steelmaking and electricity generation, supporting industries that currently have limited large-scale alternatives. The project also commits to ongoing environmental management, rehabilitation, and regulatory compliance. Continuing operations allows progressive rehabilitation of disturbed land while maintaining established environmental monitoring programs, biodiversity initiatives, and water management practices that have been developed over many years. Overall, I support the HVO Continuation Project because it balances economic, social, and environmental outcomes. It protects existing jobs, supports regional communities, maintains Australia's export competitiveness, and extends the productive life of an established operation while continuing to meet stringent environmental and regulatory obligations.

This extension is critical for protecting local jobs and providing long-term certainty for workers, suppliers, and the surrounding community.

Submission	I support approval of the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects, subject to the recommended conditions of consent and ongoing regulatory oversight. The project is a continuation of an existing, long-established mining complex, not a new greenfield coal mine. In my view, continuation of an existing operation with established infrastructure, an experienced workforce, existing environmental management systems and known geology is a more practical and lower-risk pathway than replacing this production with new disturbance elsewhere. The project provides significant regional and State benefits. It supports ongoing employment, contractor work, local suppliers, rail and port logistics, government royalties, and the broader Hunter Valley economy. The Hunter region has built a highly skilled workforce around mining, engineering, maintenance, coal handling, rail, environmental management and rehabilitation. Abruptly removing that work would have material consequences for workers, families, local businesses and community organisations. I also support the fact that the project proposes continuation without increasing the approved annual production rate. This is important. It means the proposal should be assessed as a managed continuation of an existing operation rather than an unchecked expansion. The project also allows for improved mine sequencing, continued use of existing infrastructure and better long-term planning for rehabilitation and final landform outcomes. I recognise that coal mining has environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions, water management, air quality, noise, biodiversity and final landform issues. These impacts should be managed through strict, measurable and enforceable conditions. However, I do not believe these issues justify refusal where the impacts can be regulated, monitored and progressively improved under contemporary consent conditions. The Hunter Valley will transition over time, but that transition needs to be orderly. Long-life approvals with clear conditions provide certainty for workers, businesses, government revenue, rehabilitation planning and regional diversification. A sudden loss of major existing employers would not be a responsible transition outcome. For these reasons, I respectfully request that the Independent Planning Commission approve the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects, with strong conditions covering environmental performance, rehabilitation, water management, emissions management, community consultation and transparent reporting.

The proposal allows mining to continue within an existing mining precinct, using established infrastructure, workforce capability and supply chains. In my view, continuing a well-established operation is a practical and responsible way to support jobs, regional businesses, government revenue and community stability while NSW and the Hunter continue to transition over time. The project provides significant employment and economic benefits. HVO supports local workers, contractors, suppliers and service industries across Singleton, Muswellbrook, Newcastle and the broader Hunter region. These jobs are not just numbers on a page — they support families, apprenticeships, local sporting clubs, schools, small businesses and community organisations. A loss of major employment anchors like HVO would have real consequences for the region. Approving this continuation project would provide certainty for workers and businesses while allowing time for new industries, infrastructure and skills pathways to develop. Sudden or premature closure of existing operations would risk undermining local economic resilience and place unnecessary pressure on families and communities. A non-approval of HVO would NOT see a change to coal burn globally, as the power stations would simply source the coal from alternate sources, which are likely of lower quality and more polluting than HVO's. I also support the project because of its contribution to the broader NSW economy. The Department’s assessment identifies substantial net economic benefits to NSW, including employment, royalties and flow-on activity. These revenues help fund public services and infrastructure such as roads, hospitals, schools and community facilities. In regional areas, that contribution matters. I acknowledge that mining has environmental and amenity impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity, water, air quality, noise and traffic considerations. However, the assessment process has considered these matters in detail. The amended project has reduced proposed extraction and reduced Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions compared with the original proposal. The Department has also recommended conditions covering matters such as water management, biodiversity offsets, dust, noise, monitoring, mitigation and community engagement. In my view, those impacts can be managed through strong, enforceable consent conditions, ongoing monitoring and transparent reporting. Approval should require HVO to continue improving operational performance, minimising impacts on neighbours, managing water responsibly, reducing emissions where practical, rehabilitating land progressively and maintaining open engagement with the community. The continuation project also includes practical infrastructure benefits, including the proposed realignment of Lemington Road and replacement of the flood-prone Moses Crossing. This would improve local road safety, resilience and reliability, particularly during wet weather. For regional communities and industries that depend on safe and efficient transport links, that is an important benefit. I respectfully ask the Commission to give substantial weight to the social and economic benefits of this project, as well as the importance of employment certainty for the Hunter. The region needs a balanced approach that recognises environmental responsibilities while also supporting working families, local suppliers, regional infrastructure and economic resilience. For these reasons, I support approval of the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects.

Submission	The HVO continued operations project will allow for the continuation of 1500 direct jobs but will also continue to provide for the Hunter community. It will help provide certainty for the supplier and contractors in the region - along with local businesses such as pubs and cafes. Direct employment in the hunter area allows for these businesses to continue thriving.

Submission	I support the continuation of HVO. The closure would have devastating impacts on the Hunter Valley community. I would affect so many small local businesses and would have a domino effect affecting so many business beyond they hunter Valley too. HVO employees a lot of workers and the closure would have deep impact on their families. It would have strong impact on on local schools and daycares.

Submission	I believe the proposal would continue to benefit the local communities, families who are employed directly, indirectly and regional businesses that supply labour, contracts, equipment and materials to the project. This project would also benefit the NSW and Australian economy and secure Australian resources in a time when we are still unable to fully commit to power and energy security as a global commodity, thus ensuring on-shore capabilities are retained and non-reliant on off-shore production during recent crippling economic times. Approval would secure the immediate and future local and regional economy, jobs and connections. As a former government project manager, I have seen firsthand the benefits long term secure development projects bring to regional areas. From local jobs, increased regional travel and relocations, local spend, growth of small businesses, development of new trades/businesses, localised and onshore manufacturing increases etc. I believe the proposal moving forward would secure a future for Australians and provide a significant economic backstop in these uncertain world times.

Submission	This Project and approval are important to the local economy because it will provide continued employment for 1500 jobs as well as the economic benefits to the local community which rely on Mining to survive. With no future Mining operations to be approved, the extension and continued operations of current Mining Operations are vital for our employment and energy resources. Our children need opportunities such as Apprenticeships and HVO is the largest employer in our region.

Submission	The Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects are vital to the economic survival of local businesses like mine. As a small business providing services to HVO, our contract with the mine is not just another revenue stream; it is the absolute cornerstone of our financial security. The approval of these continuation projects is critical to ensuring that our business, our workers, and the broader Hunter Valley community can look forward to a stable and prosperous future. Our partnership with HVO has allowed us to grow and employ local specialists. Small businesses operate on modest margins, and the certainty of long-term contracts allows us to make confident decisions about our future. The proposed continuations provide a clear, reliable operational horizon that directly translates into long-term security for our workforce. Without this continuity, the sudden drop in local economic activity would severely threaten our financial viability, forcing tough decisions regarding our own staffing levels and long-term business commitments. The economic benefits of HVO extend far beyond the operation. Every dollar earned by our business is reinvested locally—we hire local professionals, support regional suppliers, and use nearby hospitality venues. Our employees live, shop, and raise their families in this region. By securing the future of HVO, the government is securing the livelihoods of hundreds of small service providers and the vibrant communities that rely on them. I strongly support the HVO Continuation Projects as a necessary foundation for regional business confidence and economic resilience.

Submission	Working in the mining industry has shaped who I am as a person. I love the industry as it has taught me so much and I have seen first-hand the positive impacts mining can have for communities when done right. I understand that a coal mine is considered to be 'bad', but if you look beyond the social rhetoric, you can see that hundreds of people work directly for the mine and want to operate in a manner that improves the local community they are a part of. Then there's all the indirect jobs for the region + the social benefits. Coal may not be pretty, but it is still needed right now. Let's do it right.

Submission	The greater region relies heavily on all of the benefits the mining sector brings to the area. Jobs, roads, community support, infrastructure development and resources. When regional areas see a decline in business activities, regional communities suffer and the people find little support from governments. Without the ongoing security of HVO operating, younger people will leave the area and we only have to look at the past to see this leads to a bleak future. Please consider this when you make a determination on the future of the region it is far beyond the scope of HVO continuing. Their continual presence is vital to the regions life cycle.

Should the mine not go ahead, the flow on effects to the community, at a time when Ashton has announced its closure, Liddell and Integra are progressing through closure, Mt Arthur is planned to close in the next few years, will be felt by everyone. Mining does not just fund major companies, it also supports locals, both directly through grants and funding, and indirectly through ensuring enough people living in the area to support the local services that we rely on.

Submission	Proposal in Support of the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects Executive Summary The Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects represent a critical opportunity to maintain employment, economic stability, and community prosperity across the Hunter Valley while operating under modern environmental regulations and extensive government oversight. The projects seek to extend mining at HVO North until 2045 and HVO South until 2042–2045, depending on the approval pathway, enabling the continued operation of one of the region’s most significant employers and economic contributors. [hvo.com.au], [glencore.com.au] Support for the continuation projects is based on three key considerations: Protection of local jobs and regional economic strength. Management of environmental impacts through stringent controls, rehabilitation, and reduced-emission mine planning. A fact-based assessment of greenhouse gas and climate concerns, recognising both the project amendments and the ongoing global demand for coal during the energy transition. [hvo.com.au], [planningpo...nsw.gov.au], [planningpo...nsw.gov.au] 1. Supporting Local Jobs and Regional Communities The Hunter Valley has been built on mining, agriculture, and related industries for generations. HVO currently supports approximately 1,550 employees and contractors, making it one of the major employers in the Upper Hunter region. [glencore.com.au] Without continuation approvals, the gradual closure of HVO North and HVO South would result in: Loss of direct mining jobs. Reduced work for contractors and service providers. Declining demand for local businesses. Reduced investment in community organisations and infrastructure. Economic uncertainty for families throughout Singleton, Muswellbrook, and surrounding communities. [glencore.com.au], [hvo.com.au] The continuation projects would provide: Long-term employment certainty. Ongoing apprenticeships and trainee opportunities. Continued support for small and medium-sized businesses. Economic stability during Australia's energy transition. Sustained royalty payments and taxation revenue supporting public services. [hvo.com.au], [glencore.com.au] HVO contributes significantly to the regional economy, reporting approximately $1.2 billion spent on goods and services and a total economic contribution of around $1.76 billion in 2025. These benefits extend well beyond mine workers and support transport operators, engineering firms, equipment suppliers, accommodation providers, retailers, and local tradespeople. [glencore.com.au] 2. Environmental Impact is Minimized Through Existing and Proposed Controls Opposition to mining projects often assumes substantial new environmental disturbance. However, the HVO Continuation Projects are primarily focused on recovering additional resources within existing mining tenements and established operational areas rather than creating an entirely new mining district. [glencore.com.au], [iesc.gov.au] The projects are subject to: NSW planning assessments. Federal environmental assessment under the EPBC Act. Independent technical review. Environmental monitoring requirements. Rehabilitation obligations. Water management controls. Air quality and noise limits. [hvo.com.au], [iesc.gov.au] Importantly, HVO has amended the project design in response to government requests and has stated that significant changes were made to the mine plan, largely focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving project outcomes. [hvo.com.au] Environmental management measures include: Water Management Extensive water recycling systems. Mine water storage and control infrastructure. Ongoing groundwater and surface water monitoring. Independent scientific review of water-related impacts. [planningpo...nsw.gov.au], [iesc.gov.au] Land Rehabilitation Progressive rehabilitation of mined areas. Long-term landform design and revegetation. Restoration of habitat values where practicable. Continued regulatory oversight throughout mine life and closure. [hvo.com.au], [planningpo...nsw.gov.au] Air Quality and Dust Control Continuous environmental monitoring. Dust suppression measures. Compliance with environmental licence conditions. Reporting requirements to regulators and the community. [hvo.com.au], [hvo.com.au] Community Engagement Community Consultative Committee participation. Public submissions processes. Cultural heritage consultation. Ongoing community grants and investment programs. [hvo.com.au], [hvo.com.au] These controls demonstrate that the continuation projects will operate within one of the most heavily regulated mining environments in the world. 3. Addressing and Debunking Misleading Claims Regarding Greenhouse Gas Emissions It is important to distinguish between legitimate climate concerns and claims that overstate the specific impact of the HVO Continuation Projects. Myth: Rejecting HVO Will Significantly Reduce Global Emissions The reality is that international demand for thermal and metallurgical coal remains substantial. If HVO production ceases while demand remains, supply is likely to be sourced from other mining regions globally, many of which operate under less stringent environmental standards than Australia. Consequently, closure of HVO may simply shift production rather than eliminate demand. [glencore.com.au], [hvo.com.au] Myth: HVO Has Ignored Emissions Concerns The project has undergone extensive review, and HVO revised its proposal after government requests for additional information. The company has expressly stated that major amendments to the mine plan were implemented to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with the project. [hvo.com.au] Myth: Coal Is No Longer Needed While renewable generation continues to grow, Australia and many of its trading partners continue to rely on coal-fired generation and metallurgical coal for steel production. Steel remains essential for: Renewable energy infrastructure. Transmission networks. Construction. Manufacturing. Transportation. [glencore.com.au] An orderly transition requires reliable energy and industrial materials during the move toward lower-emission technologies. Myth: The Project Has No Scientific Scrutiny The projects are undergoing rigorous assessment at both state and federal levels. The Independent Expert Scientific Committee (IESC) has reviewed the proposals, particularly regarding water-resource impacts, ensuring decisions are informed by scientific evidence rather than speculation. [iesc.gov.au], [hvo.com.au] Conclusion The HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects deserve support because they represent a balanced approach to economic sustainability and environmental responsibility. The projects will: Protect more than 1,500 direct jobs. Support thousands of indirect jobs across the Hunter Valley. Maintain billions of dollars in economic activity. Operate under strict environmental regulation and monitoring. Continue progressive rehabilitation and environmental management. Incorporate revised mine plans aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Support regional communities while Australia undertakes a practical energy transition. [glencore.com.au], [hvo.com.au], [hvo.com.au] For these reasons, approval of the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects is in the best interests of the Hunter Valley workforce, regional businesses, local communities, and the broader NSW economy.

Submission	I am writing this in support of the HVO extension. Currently the HVO operation supports roughly 1,500 permanent and 600 temporary jobs. If the extension was to not go ahead this is an immediate impact to the economy of the Hunter Valley and beyond, who is going to make up the shortfall from the millions of dollars paid in royalties each year? Currently it supports the local and state economies through royalties, local businesses and community donations. As they have stated "Over the last 4 years, HVO has contributed $6.9 billion to the economy, including $3.8 billion spent on goods and services from 750 suppliers." It also should be noted that the project largely relies on re-mining previously disturbed areas and mining deeper underground, rather than tearing up completely new land.

Submission	To the Independent Planning Commission, Re: HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects SSD-11826681 and SSD-11826621 I am writing to express my support for the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects. I am the Mine Manager at Mangoola Open Cut, and I am making this submission in my personal capacity. I have worked in the Hunter mining industry for many years, including previously working at HVO. The main reason I support this project is because it provides real future employment opportunities for skilled mine workers in the Hunter. Mangoola is expected to reach the end of its current mine life around the end of 2030. That means there will be a skilled and experienced workforce who will need genuine opportunities to continue working locally. For people at Mangoola, projects like the HVO continuation are not just another approval on paper. They represent a realistic pathway for operators, tradespeople, supervisors, engineers, technical staff, apprentices, contractors and their families to remain in the Hunter rather than having to move away for work. That matters. These people have built their lives here. Their kids go to school here. Their partners work here. Their families are part of local sporting clubs, community groups and towns across the Hunter. When mines close and there are no local opportunities to transition into, the impact is not just a job loss. It can mean families leaving the area, kids changing schools, local businesses losing customers and the region losing experienced people who have contributed to it for years. I also know HVO has good people working there, many with deep roots in the Hunter. It is an established operation with a long history in the region, and in my experience it has a strong community reputation built through local employment, community investment, and a focus on responsible environmental management and governance. HVO also supports more than its own workforce. Local suppliers, contractors, workshops, transport providers and small businesses all rely on continued mining activity. When major operations have certainty, those businesses have more confidence to invest, employ people and take on apprentices. I understand that a project of this size needs to be properly assessed, and that environmental and community impacts need to be managed. My support is based on the view that these matters can be dealt with through appropriate approval conditions, monitoring and compliance. The Hunter is changing, but that change needs to be managed in a way that does not leave workers and families behind. Projects like HVO provide stability, retain skills in the region, and give workers a real option to stay local. For these reasons, I support the approval of the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects. Yours sincerely, Jamie MacLeod Mine Manager, Mangoola Open Cut

Submission	I strongly support the proposed continuation of mining operations at HVO North and HVO South. For decades, Hunter Valley Operations has played a vital role in supporting the economic prosperity and social wellbeing of local communities, the wider Hunter Region, and New South Wales. The continuation of these operations is critical to maintaining employment opportunities for the existing workforce and preserving the livelihoods of the many families who depend on the mine, both directly and indirectly. Beyond direct employment, HVO generates significant economic benefits through its support of local businesses, contractors, suppliers, and service providers, creating a substantial flow-on effect throughout the regional economy. Approval of this project will help ensure ongoing investment, job security, and economic stability across the Hunter Region. It will also continue to provide important contributions to state and national economies through royalties, taxes, and export revenue. The continuation of mining at HVO North and HVO South represents an opportunity to sustain a well-established operation that delivers long-term economic and social benefits to the community. I believe this project is in the best interests of the region and strongly encourage its approval to support continued prosperity, employment, and growth for local communities and the broader Australian economy.

Submission	I highly support the approval of this project in full. I am local to the area, both living and working in Singleton, and would be directly and significantly impacted by the decision to not approve the HVO North and South continuation project. The economics of HVO heavily support not only the region but the entire state in terms of significant direct economic benefit. Secondary economic impacts are also significant, with the project heavily supporting local, regional, state and interstate industry and families. The significant positive economic benefit that the project provides the region, the state and the nation is undeniable and a failure to approve the project will undoubtedly impact both direct and indirect workers and their families. Locally to Singleton, the failure to approve the project would significantly impact direct and indirect workers and their families, causing high levels of financial strain and uncertainty, and would devastate the local economy and businesses. HVO provides some of the cleanest coal resources globally, it is a low ash, high calorific value product with a low sulphide content. Globally, forecasted coal consumption for thermal and coking coal remains steady. A failure to approve the HVO project would negatively impact GHG emission targets as global industry would be forced into sourcing lower quality, higher ash content coal product from overseas. The direct impact is the requirement to burn a greater volume of lower quality coal product to achieve the same amount of energy, leading to higher global emissions as a result. Secondary impacts of lower quality coal consumption would be higher waste (ash byproduct) and the potential for other negative environmental impacts from the consumption of coal with higher acid-forming mineral content. Additionally, Australia and in particular the Hunter Valley, have some of the strictest environmental laws globally. Other suitable nations where an alternative product may be sourced from have far lower environmental standards, laws and controls, resulting in greater environmental harm if alternate product is to be sourced away from HVO. Aside from the economic benefits and the improved management of GHG emissions and environmental concerns, HVO has a positive safety record, with the operation known to run safely and effectively to achieve positive mining outcomes. In summary, the key benefits that the approval of the HVO project provide significantly outweigh the negative benefits and I am in strong support of the full approval of this project. Failure to approve the project risks destabilising the social and economic health of the Singleton LGA and would negatively impact the entire region financially. It would also lead to poorer environmental and GHG emissions outcomes as alternative, viable product options increase key risks to these key metrics.

The knowledge, supply chains, contractors, equipment manufacturers, training organisations and skilled workforce that support projects across Australia are interconnected. Decisions made in one state often have flow-on benefits for businesses, workers and communities throughout the country. Projects such as this provide long-term employment opportunities, apprenticeships, graduate pathways, and career development for thousands of Australians. They also create certainty for local businesses that rely on the industry, from engineering and maintenance providers through to transport, hospitality and community services. Continued operation will provide confidence for ongoing investment in people, infrastructure and regional development. It will also enable continued support for local schools, sporting clubs, community organisations and other initiatives that improve the quality of life in the Hunter region. Australia's resources sector remains a significant contributor to our national prosperity, energy security and export economy. Supporting well-managed projects such as this helps maintain Australia's reputation as a reliable supplier of resources while sustaining regional employment and economic growth.

Submission	HVO has long been a major contributor to the Singleton/Muswellbrook/Hunter economic standing. HVO and mines like it across the Hunter provide thousands of local jobs, as well as engaging with hundreds of local businesses. The support that HVO has provided to the local community for many years has been second to none. The HVO continuation project is extremely important to the people and communities of the surrounding areas, and it is imperative that HVO is allowed to continue mining into the future to support local, state and federal economies.

Submission	I strongly support the approval of this project. The continued operation of the project is critical to the economic prosperity of the Hunter region and will provide ongoing employment for local workers, create opportunities for local businesses, and deliver sustained benefits to community organisations. Approval will ensure the project continues to generate significant economic activity and contribute millions of dollars to the local, regional, and New South Wales economies through to 2045. The project also supports an industry that remains a cornerstone of Australia's export economy. Coal is one of Australia's largest export commodities and generates substantial export revenue, strengthening the national economy, supporting government revenue, and helping fund the infrastructure, health, education, and essential services on which Australians rely. Approving this project will provide certainty for workers, their families, local businesses, and the broader community while maintaining Australia's reputation as a reliable supplier of high-quality resources to international markets. Given its significant economic, social, and regional benefits, I strongly urge the decision-makers to approve this project. Its continued operation is in the best interests of the Hunter region, New South Wales, and Australia.

Submission	I have worked at hvo for over 10 years. Hvo is a great business that supports its workers and the community and is a key contributor to the local economy directly and indirectly employing a lot of local people. This is not a new mine it is a extension to the existing approval to continue employing locals and keeping people in the hunter valley. Hvo is commited to lowering its carbon footprint with use of lower emission equipment and mining strategies. I believe if hvo doesn’t continue it will have a devastating effect on the local community. I hope hvo continues on for many years to come supporting my family and thousands of other families.

Submission	I support the continuation of HVO and surrounding mining operations in the Hunter Valley. The industry provides substantial economic benefits to local communities and the government. The ongoing energy security and revenue the industry provides to our country is invaluable and not replaceable by any viable alternative in the near future. HVO is a major contributor of these benefits and the approval of the extension should reflect the importance of the industry to local communities and the nation as a whole.

Submission	The approval of this project is incredibly important to me, my family, my children, and many other families throughout our region. I have been employed at HVO for 3years and my career provides financial security, stability, and opportunities that allow me to support my family both now and into the future. The continuation of HVO will help ensure that these opportunities remain available for thousands of workers and local businesses that rely on the mining industry. Mining is far more than just the people working directly on site. Every mining job supports a network of contractors, local businesses, transport companies, equipment suppliers, tradespeople, schools, sporting clubs, and community organisations. The economic benefits flow throughout the Hunter region, helping local communities thrive. Personally, I have built my career around this industry. I am currently furthering my education through Mining Engineering with the goal of contributing to the industry’s future through safe, efficient, and responsible mining practices. The continuation of HVO provides certainty that people like myself can continue developing our careers while contributing to Australia’s economy and energy security. I also believe mining and environmental responsibility can coexist. Modern mining operations operate under strict environmental regulations and rehabilitation requirements. Continued investment in responsible mining allows ongoing improvements in environmental management while supporting regional employment and economic growth. Without approval of the continuation project, many workers and their families would face significant uncertainty. The impacts would extend well beyond the mine itself, affecting local businesses, apprenticeships, community organisations, and the broader regional economy. I respectfully ask that the decision-makers consider the significant social and economic importance of the HVO Continuation Project. Supporting this project means supporting thousands of hardworking Australians, their families, and the communities that depend on the mining industry. Thank you for considering my submission

Submission	I am making a submission in support of the HVO projects on the basis that with controls and enforceable conditions, they will deliver significant economic and social benefits while alternative pathways are investigated and established. With appropriate environmental management and progressive rehabilitation, the projects can also achieve strong biodiversity outcomes at closure. The projects will contribute to economic and social benefits providing jobs and regional stability by retaining skilled mine-site roles and sustain broader employment in the regional supply chain (contractors, transport, professional services). Stable employment supports local businesses, services and overall community wellbeing. In addition to the local benefits ongoing production generates royalties, export revenue and corporate taxes that support state and national budgets and local infrastructure. Continued activity enables ongoing investment in local programs (training, education, health) and supports upskilling that enhances regional workforce resilience and future economic diversification. As alternative energy supply and storage scale, coal continues to provide reliable baseload and industrial heat where alternatives are not yet practical, helping maintain grid stability and supply to critical industries. Australian coal production delivers higher-quality product and, when combined with operational efficiencies and regulatory emissions limits, reduces emissions intensity. Continued supply can also support deployment of future abatement technologies where viable. With transparent emissions reporting responsibly managed coal supply can be part of a pragmatic pathway toward lower-carbon systems while alternative fuels mature. Biodiversity impacts from renewable projects and required infrastructure, including the large scale clearing, habitat fragmentation and land acquisition, has yet to be realised, and is left largely unchecked. Detailed and enforceable Environmental Management Plans (water, air/dust, noise, soils, heritage, biodiversity etc) with defined trigger levels, mandatory corrective actions and adaptive management, will ensure impacts from the project can be managed and audited to verify biodiversity outcomes are achieved. Controls can include staged targets for progressive rehabilitation and specific final landform criteria designed to re-establish habitat complexity and ecological connectivity. The HVO North and South continuation projects can deliver meaningful regional economic and social benefits and support an energy transition if approvals include enforceable environmental and rehabilitation safeguards. With robust monitoring and biodiversity targets embedded in consent conditions, the projects can realise the value of the resource while securing durable biodiversity outcomes at closure.

Submission	The continuation of the HVO project is important to the Hunter Valley, NSW and Australias economic future. The importance of this project to all of these communities is second to none. There is no bigger employer in the hunter valley and the flow on effects of this is massive right across the country. We cannot risk the lives of people in Australia by not supporting this project especially in this time of where cost of living has been so heavily impacted.

Submission	I am writing to express my support for the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects. I am a mine worker at Mangoola Coal and am making this submission in my personal capacity. I have worked across several Hunter Valley mining operations for many years. I support this project because it provides genuine long-term employment opportunities for skilled mine workers in the Hunter. With Mangoola expected to reach the end of its current mine life around 2030, projects like HVO will provide an important pathway for experienced workers to continue working locally instead of having to leave the region. This is important not only for workers, but also for their families and the wider community. Keeping mining jobs in the Hunter helps support local schools, sporting clubs, businesses, contractors and suppliers that rely on a strong local workforce. In my experience, HVO has a long history of providing local employment and operating responsibly within the community. Continued mining at HVO will help retain valuable skills in the region and provide confidence for local businesses to continue investing and employing people. I understand that environmental and community impacts must be properly managed, and I support the project on the basis that appropriate approval conditions, monitoring and compliance are maintained. For these reasons, I support the approval of the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects. Yours sincerely, Daniel Baker

Submission	To the Commissioners, I am writing to express my strong support for the continuation of the Hunter Valley Operations (HVO) coal mine. The proposed continuation of HVO is critically important not only for the 1,500 people directly employed by the operation, but also for the many surrounding communities, local businesses, contractors, suppliers and families who rely on the mine for their livelihoods. In the Hunter Valley, mining is not an isolated industry, it is a major part of the regional economy and the social fabric of our towns. If HVO were to close, the impact would be felt far beyond the mine gates. It would place enormous pressure on workers and their families, and it would also affect the many businesses and services that depend on HVO and its workforce. Local tradespeople, transport operators, mechanics, fuel suppliers, cafes, shops, accommodation providers, equipment suppliers and professional service businesses all benefit from the economic activity generated by HVO. The loss of these jobs and this spending would have serious consequences for the wider Hunter region. HVO has been a long-standing part of the Hunter Valley and has helped support local families and communities for decades. For many families in the Hunter, mining wages provide stability, allow people to pay mortgages, support their children, spend money locally, and contribute to sporting clubs, schools, charities and community events. The economic contribution of HVO to the Hunter Valley is substantial. HVO has stated that it supports around 1,500 jobs and contributes significantly to the regional economy through wages, procurement, contracting and local business spending. This level of employment and investment provides certainty in a region where many households rely directly or indirectly on mining-related work. The Commission’s decision will have real consequences for real people. A closure or refusal of the continuation project would not only affect mine employees, but would create a ripple effect through Singleton, Muswellbrook and surrounding areas. Families would lose income, local businesses would lose customers, and the broader community would lose an important source of economic support. In a time when cost-of-living pressures are already affecting households across New South Wales, preserving secure regional employment should be a serious consideration. I acknowledge that mining projects must be assessed carefully and responsibly, and that environmental impacts must be considered. However, I believe the continuation of HVO should also be assessed in the context of the very real social and economic importance it holds for the Hunter Valley. The region needs a practical and balanced approach that recognises the livelihoods of workers, the strength of local communities, and the ongoing role HVO plays in supporting the economy of the Hunter. For these reasons, I respectfully urge the Independent Planning Commission to approve the Hunter Valley Operations Continuation Project and allow HVO to remain open. Doing so will help protect jobs, support families, sustain local businesses, and maintain the strength of the Hunter Valley community for years to come. Thank you for considering my submission. Kind regards, Simone Pennell Greta, NSW.

Submission	I wish to submit my Submission in support for the Hunter Valley Operations Continuation of Mining Extension currently on exhibition. I am a long time member of the Hunter Valley Community and have a good understanding of the benefits Coal Mining has provided to our community both Locally and Nationally. I understand that there is a need for the transition to other forms of power generation, however I feel we must continue to support Developing Nations in their transition as it shall be slower due to financial constraints. Their residents should not go without power or being forced to use inferior products to survive. I support this applications for the following reasons: Locally the continued employment of up to 1500 employees, the ongoing financial support for hundreds of businesses in the area, the financial support offered to local clubs, charities and wildlife projects, the amount of Royalties/Rates and Taxes paid to support the NSW Government and Local Councils to support communities within the Hunter Valley,NSW and Australia. Internationally Provide high quality (less polluting) Coal to developing communities, Provide Metallurgical Coal for the production of Steel for the use by developing communities and to support steel supply locally in Australia for manufacturing and home building. I also am convinced that the current Operators of this Mine, are in the top tier of Mining Companies who provide a proven record of Environmental Standards and after Mining Rehabilitation.

Submission	I support the approval of the Hunter Valley Operations North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects. As someone who has worked within the mining industry in the Hunter Valley, I understand firsthand the importance these operations have for local employment, apprenticeships, contractors, suppliers and the wider regional economy. Mining supports thousands of families throughout the Hunter, with many local businesses relying directly or indirectly on these operations. The continuation of HVO will provide ongoing employment certainty for workers and contractors while ensuring a stable supply of high-quality coal that continues to play an important role in both domestic and international energy and steel production. I also recognise that modern mining operates under far more stringent environmental and regulatory requirements than ever before. Rehabilitation, water management, dust control, noise management and biodiversity protection are all closely monitored and regulated. While no large industrial development is without impacts, I believe these impacts can continue to be effectively managed under the proposed conditions of consent and ongoing government oversight. Approving this continuation project also makes practical sense. The existing infrastructure, workforce and operating systems are already established. Continuing operations within an existing mine footprint is a far more responsible approach than creating new greenfield mining developments elsewhere. The Hunter Valley has been built alongside mining for generations. The industry continues to provide well-paid jobs, support local sporting clubs, charities, community groups and small businesses while generating significant royalties and taxes that benefit New South Wales and Australia. For these reasons, I support the Department's recommendation and respectfully request that the Independent Planning Commission approve the Hunter Valley Operations North and South Open Cut Coal Continuation Projects subject to the recommended conditions of consent.

With appropriate environmental management, monitoring, and rehabilitation commitments in place, I believe the project can continue to operate responsibly while balancing environmental considerations with the need for reliable energy production and economic stability. Overall, I believe the continuation of the HVO North and South Open Cut Coal Projects is important for supporting regional communities, sustaining employment, and ensuring the long-term prosperity of the Hunter Valley.
