INVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITIES
At Southern Ports we take our responsibility to support the communities in which we live and work seriously. The Southern Ports Community Investment Program provides support for more than 100 activities and events each year that benefit the communities residing in the Great Southern, South West and Goldfields-Esperance regions.
Typical projects include sporting events, agricultural shows and community infrastructure. We are always on the lookout for new initiatives to support - particularly those in the areas of maritime, sustainability, education, community events, community infrastructure and initiatives that support and create opportunities for Traditional Owners.
We are proud of our contribution and look forward to getting behind more initiatives that make a difference to our communities
