Wallarah No. 2 Coal Project briefs Community Liaison Committee

摘要

The Korean owned Wallarah No 2 Coal Project has told the Community Liaison Committee that companies with interests as diverse as manufacturing, maintenance, fuel supplies, vehicle sales and servicing, computer and office supplies were among those that would benefit when the mine became operational. It is estimated that about S100 million on top of wages would flow annually to the regional economy if the mine proceeds. As many as 750 jobs could be created on the Central Coast to support the 300 directly employed at the mine. Environment and Community Manager, Peter Smith, said that evidence from mining throughout Australia showed economic benefits to local and regional communities were considerable.
