On the 13 May 2020 Central Earthmoving received notification that their CCF Civil Construction Industry's Aboriginal Engagement Award submission had been successful.

CCF WA CEO Andy Graham congratulated Centrals stating, "The standard of submissions was astounding".

Key achievements by Central Earthmoving over the past year include:

  • Establishment of the majority Aboriginal-owned Carey Central JV, the first Aboriginal JV to achieve R2 prequalification certification with Main Roads WA. The JV successfully negotiated with Main Roads to upgrade a section of the Great Central Road (Outback Way). A key strategy is to train and mentor local Aboriginal people.
  • Establishment of the majority Aboriginal-owned Buru Centrals JV, which is focused on delivering mine site rehabilitation services. The JV has secured a five-year contract at Newmont’s Boddington Mine site and in the first year achieved 30% Aboriginal employees onsite. Centrals also provided guarantees so that a local Aboriginal family were able to purchase two machines to subcontract on the project.
  • Centrals Managing Director Craig Patterson has established a mentoring program for local Aboriginal businesses in the Mid-West, facilitating introductions between Aboriginal and mainstream businesses, exploring synergies and JV opportunities based on Centrals’ successful experience in implementing such arrangements.
