New Hope Group’s (ASX: NHC) New Acland Mine in Queensland has clocked up several achievements, both in the field and in the community.
The company announced its 250th full-time employee starting work at the project and comes less than two years after the Queensland Government critically assessed and approved Stage 3.
New Acland Coal general manager, Dave O’Dwyer says it a milestone to celebrate.
“The 250th worker is another landmark day for the entire team at New Acland Coal, but importantly, there are plenty more to come,” he said.
He says the increased ramp up of job opportunities on site has been rapid.
“The full-time-permanent workforce on site has doubled over the past 18 months,” he said.
Mr O’Dwyer says the company is pleased to be a supporter of local industry and importantly creating local jobs.
“We’re proud to be a leading employer in the region, by offering well-paid, local jobs to hard-working Queenslanders,” he said.
The company has also been active in the community and currently supports more than 50 local community groups, charities, schools, environmental groups and sporting teams.
This support is spearheaded by the New Acland Coal Community Investment Fund, which recently donated $75,000 to five local community initiatives.
