Submission Suggestions:
- Rule out any new or extended coal mines in NSW and prioritise support for coal export mines, workers and communities to address the shortfall of the federal Net Zero Authority.
- Immediately access and invest the Royalties for Rejuvenation Funds, rather than waiting until 2028/29.
- Commit to funding the Hunter Transition Authority with an annual budget of $150 million per year, or 5% of total coal royalties, with 57% of this dedicated to the Hunter region to reflect the royalty input the Hunter generates.
- Give more power to the regional bodies to control their own funding.
- Establish a local office in each region to ensure a genuine community led approach and accessibility for all stakeholders.
- Ensure the authorities are funded to deliver strategic planning and workforce development programs, constructing enabling infrastructure and establishing new industries and employment opportunities.
- Include First Nations representatives from each nation impacted in the four regions.
- Establish the Hunter TAFE Centre of Excellence to support re-training and local skills development.
