Whitehaven Coal

Growth, new partners, support for our communities and local businesses, and safety and environmental achievements.   We’re proud of the value we’ve delivered for our customers, communities and shareholders.   Our success is built on the hard work and commitment of our people – thank you for making it all possible. We look forward to an even bigger and better 2025!

Whitehaven was proud to sponsor the latest Women In Mining NSW event in Gunnedah, with our EGM – Health, Safety & Environment, Sarah Withell, sharing some great insights.   We look forwarding to continuing to support the Women in Mining NSW network in 2025 as part of our ongoing commitment to building a diverse and inclusive mining industry.

Monadelphous, principal mechanical contractor, has been an integral part of our Narrabri operation for the past 12 years. Last week, the team proudly celebrated 12 years LTI (lost time injury) free on site. We look forward to continuing this strong partnership as we maintain our focus on safety across all of our operations.

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting Clontarf Foundation Academy boys at our Maules Creek Mine. Forty-two Year 9 and 10 students from Narrabri and Gunnedah high schools were accompanied by our Aboriginal Community Relations Team and welcomed by General Manager Jorge Moraga and his mine management team. After a presentation on the mine’s operations, the boys enjoyed a site tour and an informative session on progressive rehabilitation.

Whitehaven’s community investment and partnership program aims to strengthen long-term local community capacity and resilience by delivering tangible and broad benefits to our local and regional communities. We are committed to creating a positive economic and social presence in our local communities that outlives our mining operations. In FY24 we contributed $1.25m in corporate community partnerships and donations. Don't forget, our next round of community sponsorships for both NSW and QLD opens January 1st.

Congratulations Tim Steinhardt, Field Maintenance Boiler Maker from our Blackwater Mine for his recent nomination as 2024 Queensland Sports Official of the Year. What an accomplishment! Tim has been employed at Blackwater Mine for close to 13 years and has officiated Rugby League for over 16, after playing from the age of seven. Being on the FP field maintenance roster allows Tim to be involved heavily in officiating at all levels of Rugby League, which includes being President of the Central Highlands and Central West referee associations, referee coordinator for Blackwater Crushers as well as refereeing and coaching the young referees. Earlier this year Tim was awarded the QRL Contribution to Officiating Award. He’s been involved in three Panda Curtis games as a touch judge, refereed the outback State of Origin game between QLD and NSW, as well as refereeing the Legends of the League game in Blackwater. This year Tim was also selected to referee the QMC (Queensland Murri Carnival) in Brisbane, where he refereed the women’s Grand Final and was selected to carry Queen Elizabeth’s Commonwealth Games baton! Well done, Tim on your contribution to the Blackwater community and to rugby league.

We were delighted to recently host members of the Tamworth Aboriginal Medical Service (TAMS-AC) Board and executive team on visits to our Rocglen rehabilitation site and Vickery operational site.

Hayley Campbell, First Year Apprentice – Electrician, at our Daunia mine has recently returned from volunteering for Habitat for Humanity International in Nepal. In the eastern province of Nepal, renowned for Mount Everest, many families live in inadequate housing, lacking the security and comfort of proper shelter. Habitat for Humanity addresses these needs by building durable homes using sustainable, locally sourced materials, enhancing disaster resilience and promoting sustainability. Volunteers like Hayley are integral to this mission. We caught up with Hayley on her return from Nepal to find out more about what she’s described as a life changing adventure.

Did you know 35% of water used at our NSW operations in FY24 was recycled? We look to recycle water where we can. The prime operational areas for water recycling are the coal handling and preparation plants (CHPPs), where 70% of water was recycled. This equated to 35% of total water use. Whitehaven is committed to using our water resources transparently and responsibly.
