Social

Greatland recognises that its people, communities and stakeholder relationships are important to the long-term success of the business. The Company focuses on maintaining safe and inclusive workplaces, building respectful relationships with Traditional Owners and local communities, and supporting positive social outcomes across the regions in which it operates.

Greatland continues to prioritise strong and respectful relationships with Traditional Owners of land in which Greatland operates and explores.  Greatland recognises the cultural significance of the land on which it operates and is committed to engaging with Traditional Owners in a culturally appropriate and collaborative manner. Greatland’s approach is guided by the Cultural Heritage and Communities Policy, and supported through cultural heritage management and social performance processes, including social and environmental impact assessment activities.

The Martu People are the Native Title holders for the land on which the Telfer operation and Havieron Project are located. Access arrangements are maintained through an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) and Land Access Agreements (LAAs) for exploration activities undertaken outside the ILUA area, which provide for consultation and agreement processes prior to land access. Engagement with the Martu People is supported through regular Relationship Committee meetings, which provide a forum for discussion and consultation for operational activities, cultural heritage matters and community priorities.   Whilst Greatland considers its relationship with the Martu people strong, it acknowledges that continued engagement, community contributions and transparency are essential to maintaining this important relationship.

The Martu ILUA provides for a royalty payment from mining in the Agreement area. Other contributions to the local, regional and broader community include direct and indirect economic contributions, including taxes, royalties, employment and business opportunities, and financial support to community programs as summarised below.

Greatland maintains an active community engagement program, retaining strong ties to local communities and stakeholders.  Some of Greatland’s key community programs highlights include:

Major partnership with Ngurra Kujungka Inc.

A range of programs have been developed to increase physical activity, provide sporting career pathways, educational benefits and community engagement.

Supporting Martu Culture

Throughout NAIDOC week in 2025, Greatland proudly celebrated the strength, resilience and culture of First Nations people. As part of our ongoing commitment to working respectfully with Traditional Owners, we supported the Martu through hosting the Pitjikarli Culture Camp at Telfer and the Ngurra Kujungka Youth Festival at Punmu Community. Greatland was also proud to sign a landmark 18-month Community Partnership Agreement with Ngurra Kujungka – a respected Martu not-for-profit delivering vital health, education and employment programs across the Western Desert. As the foundational major sponsor, Greatland’s support helps enable a range of community-led initiatives, including school holiday activities, youth festivals, recreation activities and Martu pathway programs. Our Managing Director, Shaun Day, said: “Greatland remains committed to working collaboratively with the Martu and look forward to advancing positive opportunities for the local community.”

Royal Flying Doctor Service (WA)

Greatland entered into a three-year partnership with the Royal Flying Doctor Service (WA) (RFDS WA) for its annual Flying Doctor Day appeal. Flying Doctor Day highlights the vital work the RFDS continues to deliver across regional and remote Australia. The 2026 campaign raised $1.8 million to support 274 aviation, clinical and ground crew undertaking 4,442 hours of training for the new incoming PC-12 PRO aircraft. Greatland recognises the importance of the service to regional communities, including the East Pilbara where Greatland operates the Telfer mine and Havieron project. As part of the three-year partnership, Greatland will match community donations dollar-for-dollar during the Flying Doctor Day campaign, helping ensure every contribution has twice the impact.
