MLG OZ and Marlinyu Ghoorlie Aboriginal Corporation Establish Joint Venture

Strategic rationale

• Complementary strengths. The joint venture brings together the authority, knowledge and standing of the Marlinyu Ghoorlie People on their own Country with MLG’s operational capability, plant and contracting experience.

• Shared regional footing. Both MLG and MGE are based in Kalgoorlie, within the region in which the joint venture will operate, supporting local delivery, local employment and local decision-making.

• A platform, not a project. The joint venture is designed to operate across MLG’s full range of services over the long term — building its own independent commercial capability and creating sustained employment, training and enterprise opportunities for the Marlinyu Ghoorlie People.

• Partner of choice. This partnership, through the joint venture positions MLG as a preferred delivery partner for clients operating on Marlinyu Ghoorlie country, where Indigenous participation, land access and social licence are increasingly central to project approvals and procurement decisions.

Opportunities

The joint venture is able to tender for and deliver work immediately, drawing on MLG’s existing plant,
personnel, systems and accreditations. Its scope spans MLG’s full-service range, including civil and
construction, crushing and screening, bulk haulage and site services, and the supply of open pit mining
and construction materials.

MLG CEO Mark Hatfield said “Marlinyu Ghoorlie country is at the centre of MLG’s operations, and this partnership gives us a longterm platform for growth in a region we know exceptionally well. From day one, we’ve approached it
as a genuine partnership built on shared value. Beyond the commercial opportunity, it’s about creating
lasting benefits for the Marlinyu Ghoorlie People through jobs, training and opportunities for local
businesses. By building capability within the community, we help ensure the benefits endure long after
individual projects are complete.”
