This is an incredibly difficult time for the hundreds of workers and their families affected by the situation at Tahmoor Colliery.

The mine is a major employer in the local area and supports many businesses and community groups.

I’ve long been a strong supporter of the mine through previous ownership changes and planning issues and will continue to do so during this challenging period.

I’ve been in touch with the Colliery’s owner and General Manager and will stay in contact as the situation develops.

It’s critical GFG Alliance finds a way to keep jobs in the area.
