Workers, families and community members will gather this Sunday at Wangi-Wangi Bowling Club for a Myuna Community Family Fun Day as part of the growing campaign to secure a fair long-term coal supply agreement and protect local jobs.
The event brings together Myuna workers, their families and supporters from across Lake Macquarie and the Hunter to demonstrate visible community backing for the 300 direct jobs and thousands more supply-chain roles that depend on the mine remaining open while Eraring Power Station continues operating.
Organisers say the day is about showing the human side of the campaign and the real families behind the headlines.
“This is a community that wants a fair and orderly future, not uncertainty,” a spokesperson said. “Myuna exists solely to supply Eraring, and when decisions are made about the power station, the people who keep it running should not be left behind.”
The Family Fun Day is designed to be positive and family-friendly while reinforcing the strength of local support.
Activities will include children’s entertainment, face painting, a petting zoo, mining equipment on display, a sausage sizzle and lots more.
