Our operations in North West NSW take place on Gomeroi Country (also known as Kamilaroi, Gamilaroi or Gamilaraay), one of the four largest Aboriginal nations in Australia. In Queensland’s Bowen Basin, our sites operate on Barada Barna Country, as well as Gaangulu Country (also known as Kangulu, Kaangooloo or Ghungalu).
We acknowledge Indigenous peoples as the First People of Australia. We recognise the Gomeroi People of North West NSW, the Barada Barna People and Gaangulu People of Central Queensland as the Traditional Owners of the land on which we operate and recognise their role as custodians of the land and water.
We aim to work together to empower local communities and help create stronger families and futures for Indigenous people in the areas around our operations.
