You can already see the improved visual difference to the land.
The improvements to Wybong road funded by Mangoola have made traveling safer for the whole community, and the local community as a whole benefits from the project in many day to day areas.
Any minor negative short term impacts are greatly outweighed by the positives that this project has contributed to this community.
I am making this submission in a hope that members of the local community can be heard.
I should also like to note that I am a local contractor who employs locals working at Mangoola Coal Operation.

The Mangoola site is seen by others in the industry as being leaders in rehabilitation of the environment it mines and it is openly praised by all employees. There is pride in the outcomes of the existing operation shown by all employees.
The resources mined from the site will benefit both local and federal governments by way of royalties, these royalties are then reinvested in the local area in supporting local business and infrastructure.
I totally support the extension f this project.

Many people are concerned with the condition the land will be left in after mining operation have concluded, however Mangoola Coal have already demonstrated their commitment to successful rehabilitation of the land. I have had the opportunity to view the rehabilitation areas at Mangoola Coal and have been extremely impressed. Areas where mining concluded 6 years ago are now almost indistinguishable from untouched areas. Not only is the ground contoured to represent natural ground levels, The wide range of plants that have been re-established makes the whole rehab area look completely natural. In addition to those efforts the habitat for every type of animal has also been considered from insects and lizards to frogs, birds and larger animals.
For the reasons outlined above I believe this project represents a win / win situation for all. If this project does not receive approval the entire upper hunter will suffer the effects of an Opportunity Lost.

I’m a local resident, living in Aberdeen, have 2 sons and grandchildren that live in Hunter Valley, Mangoola Coal has been providing employment here in Muswellbrook for the past 8 years the extension that will run till 2030 would create local employment and dollars to the area, Mangoola rehab is the top if not the best in the Hunter Valley, I fully support the project to go ahead it will provide much needed employment for the area.
