Wamarra continues expanding Aboriginal employment opportunities

Wamarra has secured a major contract to undertake infrastructure improvements as part of the ‘Roads to Home’ program for the New South Wales Government and the Griffith Local Aboriginal Land Council, providing further Indigenous employment opportunities .

The project, centered around the revitalisation of the Three-Ways Road network, embodies Wamarra’s dedication to creating sustainable employment pathways for Aboriginal people. With a focus on road resealing and infrastructure enhancements, this contract focuses on enhancing accessibility, safety, and quality of life for residents in the region.

Managing Director and proud Wiradjuri man Hayden Heta expressed his excitement about the project, stating, “This win represents a significant milestone in our expansion aspirations by delivering one of our first projects in Wiradjuri country. This is a step forward for Wamarra and our vision of empowering local Aboriginal communities in locations where we work by providing meaningful employment opportunities. We are proud to lead this project, leveraging our expertise while prioritising recruiting and training Aboriginal workers.”

Wamarra has strategic partnerships with local organisations and educational institutions, including TAFE NSW and Yarpa NSW Indigenous Business and Employment Hub. These partnerships aim to provide comprehensive training programs and ongoing support to ensure the long-term success of Indigenous employees.

The ‘Roads to Home’ initiative aligns with Wamarra’s empowerment, sustainability, and community engagement values.
