As a Cleary Bros employee of four years in the Concrete division, the quarry is essential to my ongoing employment. I joined the organisation from a supplier to Clearys and can therefore verify that keeping the organisation going through approval of proposals like this one is vital not only to Clearys people, but also to many others employed through businesses which support them as a larger local company.

As an employee of 25 years, the quarry's importance to meeting supply and demand in the local building and construction industry is very apparent to me. Our organisation is a well known local institution and I feel it is vital that it be allowed to continue to not just ensure local resources are used for local works, but also to enable the creation and support of jobs within the Illawarra.

I am supportive of Cleary Bros' proposal as a result of my work in the civil construction part of the business. The materials which the site provides are crucial to the infrastructure we are currently creating which will support the growth of the population in our local area. The quarry is central to the provision of jobs to local people for which Cleary's are well known. Advancing this proposal will secure a long-term benefit for not just those of us who work with the business, but for the local economy and social well being of present and future residents.

The quarry is a very important source of materials for the local building and construction industry and approval of this application will allow the site to continue to play its critical role in this regard. It also supports a wide variety of jobs, including mine, which are not just at the site, but in other parts of our business and in companies which work with Cleary Bros.

Cleary Bros has been a part of the Illawarra for more than a century and has earned its right to operate within our region. The quarry has been operated well and responsibly and during its history has employed many local people. I see this proposal as an investment in the future of our area and the many people who are looking to build their homes and raise families as part of our community.

I have lived in the Albion Park area my entire life and as a result know how important the quarry is for our community. The jobs which are provided by the quarry have allowed locals like me the opportunity to be employed close to home which benefits not only my own family, but the wider community in which I am raising my family and spending my wages. Approving this application will ensure everyone continues to benefit from the presence of our site.

My support for this application is as a new employee of Cleary Bros. The role the quarry plays in the business has been apparent since I started and as a result I can see it is important for it to be continued given the jobs it supports in the local area, not just at Clearys but also the small and medium businesses which rely upon the quarry and its employees.

As a new employee of Cleary Bros, I have quickly learned the value of the quarry not only to our business but to the entire state. A valuable hard rock resource, the quarry provides materials that are essential to delivering building and construction works across a wide area of our communities. Approving this submission will only continue that on.

Cleary Bros has a long-standing, positive reputation with the Illawarra community. This has been built upon the way they have conducted their operations and supported our community through the jobs they have provided and community activities they've supported. The company's logo is synonymous with our region and as a new employee, I'm proud to be working with an organisation which puts so much into local life. The approval of this proposal will only continue that.

I support this proposal as an employee of Cleary Bros for 10 years. It's good for those of us who work here, good for the wider region in terms of building and construction materials, and good for the community in terms of both the jobs which our business provides locals and the additional support of community activities the company undertakes. An approval for this proposal will extend the benefits the current population enjoys well into the future.

I have worked with the business for seven years driving concrete agitators and so appreciate the scale of contribution the quarry makes to building and construction in our community. The industry offers a wide variety of employment opportunities throughout our region, all fuelled by the materials quarries such as ours provide. The site supports local families in terms of making jobs available in our area, saving them from joining the daily commute to other places and adding to the pressure on our roads. I fully support this proposal because of the wider benefits it will provide current and future residents such as these.

I am at the end of my second year of working with Cleary Bros and fully appreciate the importance of the quarry to both the business and the wider community. I have not long finished building a new home in one of the nearby estates which was created using materials sourced directly from our site and so my connection to the quarry is now both through my working and home life. This illustrates the importance of having access to building and construction materials for our region which, if approved, this proposal will greatly assist.

Our home region is growing and expanding constantly and as such we need ready access to building materials in our local area. The approval of this proposal will help to ensure the long-term security of that supply and, in the process, secure my continued employment within an organisation I've worked for in three separate stints across the past 40 years.

As a local business owner, I’m excited about the Albion Park Quarry – Stage 7 project and what it will bring to the area. I see this project as a positive for local employment and infrastructure growth. It’s my understanding that the quarry is operated by a locally owned business, and that this work is an extension of operations that have been ongoing since the 1950s. We, as a community, should support more projects like this one.

Cleary Bros' quarry at Albion Park is an important source of materials for the building industry across the Illawarra and South Coast. In supporting the extension, it only makes sense that the resources which are located in our area are used mostly to grow our region. I believe the continuation of the quarry is important because of the support our site provides to other businesses in our town whether they supply our operations or whether its the local shops which our workforce use. I'm also keen to ensure my job has a stable future which the lengthy term of an approved extension would provide.

The quarry has supported me and my family for the 11 years I have worked at Cleary Bros. The approval of the extension would allow me to continue on working with the organisation while helping to produce vital building and construction materials for the builders and construction firms of our region.

For 10 years I have worked with the business to create opportunities for our community to benefit from the quarry through the local employment it provides, the materials it supplies to customers around our region, and the local activities it supports. Cleary Bros is a well known institution in our area and many people have put a great deal of time and effort into creating a company from which the wider community benefits. I would like to see that continue so that future generations of locals can access the same positives that I have during my time working here.

As a local resident and employee of the organisation for around 20 years, I support this application for several reasons. The first is obviously I would like to see my employment continue until I am ready to finish working. The organisation is a good company to work for and has long provided job opportunities to locals - it's important these are available to the next generation of workers so that they don't need to travel to places like Sydney for work. I'm happy to be a neighbour to our site and therefore am happy to see the operations continued into the future.
