Northparkes 

community consultation

Northparkes is committed to developing strong and enduring relationships based on respect, honesty, two-way dialogue and transparency. Several approaches are employed to formally engage, monitor, and report to our community stakeholders.

Community Consultative Committee (CCC)

The committee meets at least twice a year to update members on business operations and receive community feedback. The committee is chaired by a third-party member and includes representatives from Northparkes, neighbours, community members, local business groups, Parkes Shire Council and Forbes Shire Council.

Contact npo.externalrelations@evolutionmining.com to submit a question to the Community Consultative Committee.

Wiradjuri Executive Committee (WEC)

The WEC meets quarterly to identify opportunities and develop projects that support Wiradjuri people in the community. The WEC is made up of two members from the Peak Hill Local Aboriginal Land Council, two from the Wiradjuri Council of Elders and two from Northparkes.

Wiradjuri country extends from the Blue Mountains in the east of NSW, to Hay in the west, north to Nyngan and south to Albury.

When visiting Northparkes, visitors will come across the Wiradjuri Garden, which includes a sacred scar tree and features vegetation traditionally used by Wiradjuri people.

Neighbours

Northparkes strives to work closely with its neighbours, keeping communication open and honest. Formal meetings are held twice a year and open to all neighbours, as well as individual meetings with neighbours held throughout the year. From time-to-time special tours are hosted for neighbours to view projects which may be of interest.

A text message alert system is in place to assist communication with neighbours. The primary purpose of the system is to provide updates regarding blasting schedules and dust mitigation activities.

REPORTS AND PUBLICATIONS

The Source Community Newsletter is published twice a year and distributed throughout the Parkes and Forbes local government areas. It is also located online via the link below.

VOLUNTEER LEAVE PROGRAM

The Northparkes Volunteer Leave Program was designed in 2013 with the principle that the best contribution to the community can be made by Northparkes people.

So far, Northparkes employees have donated countless volunteer hours, sharing their skills with community groups and organisations throughout the Central West. Volunteers can provide skilled labour, heavy lifting or even cook for a cause.

The program has been recognised by industry peers as best practice and an industry leading program. Northparkes won the NSW Minerals Council Environment and Community Excellence Award in August 2014, and the Australian Mining Prospect award for Community Interaction in October 2014.

Northparkes is always looking for ways to meaningfully contribute to its community. To request volunteers, please email npo.externalrelations@evolutionmining.com
