The Parkes Frontline Services Ball, the brainchild of the Northparkes team, was recognised as a finalist in both the Australia Day awards and at the NSW Mining HSEC annual awards. Northparkes and a working party of local stakeholders established the Frontline Services Ball in 2022. The intent was to express gratitude to those in the frontline services who supported the community during COVID-19, floods and emergencies and to raise necessary funds for those services.
As of FY24, two balls have been held raising a total of more than $170,000 for local charities in the Central West, and contributing to the funding of mental health programs, much-needed emergency equipment like defibrillators, an upgrade to local PCYC facilities and more than 571 nights’ accommodation at the Ronald McDonald House in Orange.
For their efforts, our Northparkes team was recognised as finalist in the local Parkes Shire Australia Day Awards for the Community Event of Year, and also as a finalist in the Community Excellence category in the 2024 NSW Mining HSEC Awards. We congratulate Northparkes and the committee for their dedication and hard work to date.
