Nominations are open for the 2025 Resources Sector Awards for Excellence and will close at 5pm on 30 May, with winners to be announced at a ceremony later in the year.
The awards recognise innovation, outstanding achievements, and leadership in the responsible development of Western Australia’s natural resources, with a strong focus on environmental sustainability and benefits to local communities.
Mines and Petroleum Minister David Michael says the Western Australian Government is proud to champion responsible resource development in the state and will continue to support projects that deliver local benefits and prioritise environmental sustainability.
“These awards recognise that industry, government and the community can strike a successful balance between robust environmental standards and a dynamic resources sector,” the minister says.
“Effective environmental management and meaningful community engagement help build public trust and reinforce WA’s reputation as a reliable, forward-thinking global partner.”
As one of two categories, the Golden Gecko Award has celebrated environmental excellence for more than 30 years, recognising companies that go above and beyond their regulatory requirements.
The second category is the Community Partnership Resources Sector Award, which acknowledges those building meaningful community partnerships that extend well beyond the life of a project.
All entries are assessed on their own merits. There is no direct competition between nominations, and more than one award may be presented in each category.
