In the Goldfields region of Western Australia, as with all of the communities where we operate, local economic development and community resilience rely on partnerships between industry, community groups, and local decision-makers. To enhance the liveability of Coolgardie, Evolution, along with the Shire of Coolgardie, Kambalda Men’s Shed, Coolgardie Men’s Shed, and others collaborated to restore and refurbish Coolgardie’s Ben Prior Park.
Evolution donated approximately A$177,000 to the restoration. Upgrading Coolgardie’s community assets and aesthetics with the open-air mining museum promotes local tourism and economic stimulus, retains community support, attracts employees, and promotes and educates on mining’s rich history in the Goldfields. The facilities refurbished at Ben Prior Park enable a deeper understanding of the role of mining in the region and provides educational and sensory tools for school group visits.
