An agreement has been reached to continue operations at Myuna Colliery, securing local jobs and providing long-term certainty for workers, families and the Lake Macquarie community.
After months of uncertainty, revised commercial arrangements between Centennial and Origin Energy will allow Myuna to continue operating under a new three-year framework.
This outcome secures hundreds of direct jobs at the mine and protects thousands more across the regional supply chain.
Workers stood together, families spoke out. The community rallied. Local businesses, suppliers, union members and supporters made it clear that we want a just transition and we will hold energy companies accountable to get it.
We thank every worker who held firm, every family who shared their story, every delegate and manager at the mine who kept people together and informed, and every community member who showed up, signed, and stood behind these jobs.
Myuna was built to supply Eraring. The community made it clear that if the power station continues, the mine that supports it must continue too. This outcome shows what can be achieved when workers, community and stakeholders insist on practical solutions and refuse to accept avoidable job losses.
Myuna remains an essential part of the region’s economy, and today’s agreement recognises that reality.
We look forward to working constructively with all parties to ensure the operation remains strong, productive and secure for the years ahead.
