Local and Indigenous Engagement

Ensuring our operations benefit local communities and indigenous persons is central to Hastings vision and values and we facilitate the fulfilment of this commitment by maximising opportunities for members of our community, including residents of the Carnarvon/Upper Gascoyne Region, local businesses, the TMWTJ People and those with interests in the area in which we will operate.

As such, the selection criteria for each package will consider the extent to which potential supplier and contractor organisation support the engagement of local and Indigenous vendors.
