Mod 8 - Ulan West Continued Operations

I believe the extension will ensure many locals will still maintain jobs as well as boosting available jobs for locals. This has a huge impact on cash flow in the local towns, in turn boosting the economy.

Great project supporting the community for a long time. Lets keep it going.

Coal mines are keeping the community alive and Ulan is a lifeline for the region and it is imperative operations continue as long as possible. 10s of thousands of people are relying on the mines continued operation for their livelihoods.

I support the modification extension on the grounds of providing ongoing employment, continued support to businesses and suppliers and keeping the district economy strong.

I support the project and its economic benefits to the local community

I support the ongoing operations at Ulan West.
This will provide ongoing employment , support business and local charities.

I am in support of the extension of the mine due to the economic benefit it brings to the community and the state. This extension will keep jobs going within the community and also extend to wider community within the state.

As a local small business, Black Rock Scheduling (BRS) fully supports the Ulan West Continued Operations Modification (Mod8). BRS has been providing mine scheduling services and software training for the Ulan Complex for more than 10 years, which reflects Glencore's commitment to engage local businesses. The proposed modification will allow the continued provision of these services, whether it be by BRS or another business. It will also provide more than 700 direct jobs (employment that keeps the local community thriving) and allow Glencore to continue its generous support of the many local charities, NFP organisations and junior sporting clubs (whose reach extends across the entire community). I sincerely hope that the DoPHI recognises the significant benefits that the modification presents and approves the proposed continuation of operations.

I support Glencore's Ulan West Continued Operations as it will continue to offer significant employment for the region and continue to fund important community partnerships like the Doctors4MudgeeRegion initiative.

I believe this will help secure Mudgee and surrounding areas future with employment and investment into the community

I support Ulan West's Continued Operations as it provides job opportunities that will allow young people to stay in the region and provides funding that improves our schools, sporting programs and local Rural Fire Services. This year, funding has already provided outdoor blinds for the Mudgee Community Preschool, Quicksmart Numeracy Training for Mudgee Public School P&C, sporting equipment for Mudgee PCYC, netball uniforms for St Matthews, and athletics equipment for Mudgee Little Athletics! Previously, funding has provided student iPads at Gulgong Public School, fit-for-purpose signage screens for the Cudgegong Communications Fire Unit, and a variety of equipment for local fire brigades. Glencore is also a major sponsor of the Mudgee Country University Centre and the Max Potential Program that empowers young adults to reach their goals. Glencore works in partnership with other mining companies to contribute significantly to Ulan Road Upgrades and important initiatives like the Doctors4MudgeeRegion program. The approval of the Ulan West Continued Operations will allow these programs to continue, provide significant employment for the region, and help to keep Mudgee the thriving community that it has become.

I am in support of the Mod 8 Ulan West Continued Operations.

100% support

This is a vital part of our community. This provides many direct and indirect full-time work positions for people of Mudgee. The money earnt by these people is then returned to the local economy via other non mine related businesses. Glencore is a huge financial contributor to many non profit organisations as well.

This projects supports the ongoing prosperity of the region. Local impacts including that of greenhouse emissions are minimal and the benefits far out weigh any small impacts. I fully support this ongoing project and the addition for continued operations should be supported.

I support the modification because my Mum works there. She is allowed to work part-time so that she is home when I am not at school. I would like my Mum to keep working there so that we can stay in Mudgee.

I support the project

This project will bring jobs to the community

This project should be supported for the on-going employment of local people and the service communities that rely on Ulan coal mines for contract works, maintenance, overhauls of equipment and services.

Provides important economy to both the region and national economy
