“Peabody understands how important it is that we support local communities that support us,” Wilpinjong’s General Manager Blair Jackson said.
“This year we were determined to ensure our annual thank you gifts to employees weren’t brought in from Sydney or Newcastle but instead purchased right here in the Mudgee district. These vouchers will ensure dollars are spent in local shops and businesses, protecting regional jobs and boosting the local economy.”

Mudgee Chamber of Commerce president Greg Dowker thanked them for helping keep money local.
“We’re thrilled Peabody decided to purchase 535 Mudgee Money vouchers and send a huge thank you to local management at the Wilpinjong mine for making this happen.
It’s great to see a large local employer like Peabody put its money where its mouth is and genuinely support businesses in our community.
We encourage everyone to follow Peabody’s lead this Christmas season and give Mudgee Money vouchers to family, friends or employees and support local businesses,” he said.
