Our communities

We are committed to creating resilient communities by ensuring our presence has a positive impact on the communities where we operate, and our long-term relationships create shared and enduring value.

We acknowledge how important it is to share the value of the resources we extract with our stakeholders and are open and transparent about our economic contribution and give back to the local, state and national economies. I

We prioritise targeted support to our local councils through alignment to our Sustainability Strategy which enshrines our continued commitment to invest in our communities, create resilient populations and leave a lasting positive legacy where we operate. By taking community members’ views into account, informed decisions are made for support programs. We prioritise local employment and procurement of goods and services through local businesses. In FY25, we contributed over A$325K in Voluntary Planning Agreements and A$327K in discretionary donations.

We value our connection with First Nations Peoples who have an interest in the land where we work and a right to care for their cultural heritage. Their involvement in our activities from exploration, mining and into closure is crucial. In the Cobar Basin, we explore and mine on the traditional lands of the Ngemba, Ngiyampaa, Wangaaypuwan and Wayilwan People. Our Dargues site is situated on the land of the Ngarigo and Yuin People.
