Newman Futures’ success and potency stem from the power of collaboration. The initiative brings together a range of stakeholders, including local businesses, government agencies, and community groups, to work towards common objectives. By fostering collaboration and innovation, Newman Futures is seeing incremental and comprehensive positive impacts within the community.

With a commitment to sustainability and community engagement, BHP has provided crucial advocacy for the project and helped to ensure its success in transforming the town of Newman into a thriving and inclusive community.
The Shire of East Pilbara is a founding partner of Newman Futures and acknowledges the project’s importance in promoting job growth and economic prosperity in the region. To achieve this vision, the Shire has advocated for a comprehensive and collaborative approach to developments.
By working together and sharing regional goals, the Shire can contribute towards realising a shared vision for the region.
