As a new member of the Australian coal mining industry, I am in full support of a project that extends the life of a mine that injects so much into a rural economy.

I support the project extension as it will keep many local men and women in full time employment who have started a career in underground mining.
The length of extension will also see many young people gain experience in the industry setting them up for a bright future in the North West of New South Wales.
Surrounding towns will all see a continued economic injection paving the way for continue growth and expansion.

I would like to express my support for the southern expansion. As an employee of Whitehaven Coal and residing in the Narrabri area since birth I have witnessed first hand the positive impacts mining has had on our community. For the past three years the Narrabri and surrounds have endured one of the worst droughts in history, ordinarily a town like Narrabri would have suffered devastating loss to the local economy, which would have taken years to rebuild. During this drought period the mine has given so much opportunity to locals involved directly with the mine but many other businesses that provide services indirectly. In particular, my brother had been working in the agricultural sector during the drought, and had been put back to only 3 days of work per week. He was able to seek full-time employment at the underground mine, which enabled him to remain in the Narrabri community. Whitehaven have been more then willing to provide employment and training opportunities to many young people in Narrabri community which shows their dedication and commitment to the area. Whitehaven have a good repour in the community, and not only provide jobs, but also support many local community projects and provide sponsorship opportunities. I look forward to Whitehaven supporting the Narrabri and surrounding community in many years to come.

Narrabri Coal Operations and Whitehaven provide significant employment opportunities to the rural communities of Narrabri, Gunnedah and surrounding areas.
They support local councils, community charities, organizations and indigenous, injecting millions of dollars a year into these communities.
An extension to the Narrabri underground mine would maintain these alliance/reliance.
Without Narrabri Coal and Whitehaven presence and support, regional NSW jobs will be lost and supporting funding will unlikely be replaced.
