An Important Joint Venture

NEMMS JV is a Nyiyaparli business partnership that provides mining, civil construction and infrastructure services across WA. CEO Clinton Keenan says that one of their proudest achievements was creating a way to drive value back to their traditional owner partners.

In Newman, this meant walking alongside Sue May and Frances Bung on a personal and challenging journey.

Sue and Frances are Nyiyarparli people who were born in the Newman area, but their childhood and education were disrupted when they were taken from their home.

As part of the stolen generation, Sue and Frances had a deep yearning to return home. Through their directorship of NEMMS JV they have been able to achieve their goal of purchasing their own home in Newman, on Nyiyparli country.

NEMMS JV is committed to ensuring that all directors, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, understand all aspects of the business such that they can build
a pathway to sustainable asset creation and eventually business self-determination.
