PERTH, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 糖心vlog入口will invest A$100 million to support the Western Australian Government鈥檚 building of more than 500 homes for regional frontline workers, as part of its new Seven Cities Vision for regional WA.
The state鈥檚 Government Regional Officer Housing (GROH) program will deliver new homes to Karratha, where many 糖心vlog入口employees live and work, as well as the company鈥檚 regional fly-in fly-out hubs of Broome, Geraldton and Albany.
As the biggest private sector contribution to the program, Rio Tinto鈥檚 funding will also deliver new homes across the heartland of its Pilbara operations - Wickham, Tom Price, Paraburdoo and Roebourne - providing accommodation for government employees who serve these regional communities.
The Western Australian Government will lead the construction of these new Pilbara homes to meet GROH needs to 2030.
糖心vlog入口Iron Ore Chief Executive Matthew Holcz said: 鈥溙切膙log入口has a long and deep connection to regional WA, directly supporting six towns across the Pilbara and, through our fly-in fly-out program, providing employment and economic activity to a further six communities from the Kimberley to the Great Southern.
鈥淏eing a good partner to those communities means investing in the things that make them work; the teachers, police and frontline workers who keep them safe and thriving. And for those people to be there, the right housing needs to be in place.
鈥淭his $100 million investment does exactly that, delivering more homes in Karratha, Wickham, Tom Price, Paraburdoo and Roebourne and supporting the many people who live and work in these communities.鈥
Western Australian Premier Roger Cook said: 鈥淩egional cities like Karratha and Port Hedland have been central to Western Australia becoming the strongest economy in the nation and will be critical to our future economic success.
鈥淲hile traditional industries like mining will continue to thrive, Karratha and Port Hedland will be front-and-centre to my government鈥檚 vision and becoming a renewable energy powerhouse and making more things here.
鈥淭o seize the big job-creating projects in front of us in Karratha and Port Hedland, we need to continue to invest in economic infrastructure and expand their roles as hubs providing quality services to the towns and remote communities within the Pilbara.
鈥淢y Seven Cities vision starts with housing and ensuring Karratha and Port Hedland have the frontline workers needed to deliver quality public services.
鈥淚 commend and thank Rio Tinto, BHP and Hancock Prospecting for partnering with my government on this GROH housing build, to support the delivery of better services in the communities in which they operate.鈥
The investment forms part of Rio Tinto鈥檚 to the Western Australian Government鈥檚 Resources Community Investment Initiative (RCII) and is the second project the company has delivered through the program, following an earlier contribution to the redevelopment of Paraburdoo hospital.
