Wallarah 2 Coal Mine

This is something that Barry O'Farrell promised would NOT happen to our drinking water catchment. Our drinking water will end up contaminated with ethane, methane & other gases not to mention damage it could cause to building structures. If this goes ahead it will only prove how dishonest your government is & that you don't understand what the word promise means.

The approval of this project would have an enormous
positive effect on the Wyong Shire and local areas with
job opportunities for both skilled and unskilled workers
including apprenticeships.
The whole community will benefit

With the decentralizing of the populous from Sydney it is an excellent opportunity for added employment to the Central Coast region. With a very sound environmental plan and the added attraction of Underground extraction methods it will be a project that is very sustainable for the next generation of our children in relation to the jobs market.

I support Wallarah

I was at the MESCA breifing regarding the Wallarah 2 Coal Project. Pan Process Pty Ltd is a specialised company that deals with Bulk Material Handling and Processing Electrical Site commissioning. We have seen alot of projects put on hold lately. There has been a huge slow down of mining projects that is our companies life blood. Please consider the economic benefits that a project will bring to this region when you consider this approval.

Australian industry and every link in the domestic supply chain that represents need this project to be approved and more like it in view of the current economic environment. The proponent has worked assidiously to engage with the local and greater geographical community about the scope and timing of their requirements. This proponent has been particularly specific about the negligible environmental impact of this project and when compared to others that have already been approved, it's difficult for me to fathom why there is continual delay.

Please allow this application to proceed.

I am for the project.

It will provide significant jobs for the region.

Provided the workings to not undermine any dwellings I do not see that it will have a great impact on the local area. Working in the mining industry I have been able to visit the Mandalong Colliery at Morriset many times, and I am always surprised at how well hidden the mine is.

Honestly don't we think our country is going backwards at a fast enough pace. With the ridiculous carbon tax, now the downturn in coal, jobs that are being lost. We can't afford not to have the Wallarah 2 and any other mining project go ahead.

As part of the mining Industry I believe the Wallarah 2 Coal Project will bring much needed employment oportunities and a economic benifit to the area.

I support the project and believe it is good for the local community and jobs in NSW

I support this project & would like to see it proceed. Jobs will be created, taxes & royalties will be paid, apprentices will be trained & the mine will support local businesses.

I am in support of the Wallarah 2 Coal Project. Here is a great opportunity for local employment and growth in nearby communities.

Our company supports the submission for the Wallarah 2 Coal Project. We encourage that consideration be made for huge benefits such a project can bring to the people of the local communities.

This project would bring many great opportunities to our local community.

As a regular visitor to the area I strongly object to the proposal on safety, financial and process concerns

Shouldn't be allowed to happen!

We look forward to the jobs and services that will be required to fulfill this project. In a NSW market that is looking very ordinary, this is one shining light of hope for all service providers to the NSW Coal Industry

I support it

I oppose the wallarah 2 coal project on behalf of myself and my family. With a new subdivision approval for Wyee of more than 750 homes, it is not appropriate to mine in the proposed area and have a facility so close to this subdivision. It would directly affect quality of life in regard to water pollution, air quality and noise pollution. Mining subsidence has proven to have a negative affect on the Lake Macquarie district in the past. This is about our childrens future and the negative environmental impacts this project will introduce.

Please consider the latest research regarding lead poisoning of children in Mt Isa due to Xstrata mining emissions, which causes irreversible brain damage in children.

Mining close to communities do not mix, health is more important than jobs
