Our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is proudly championed by Board Director and Joint Managing Director Nathan Silby, with active support from several members of our Senior Leadership Team. The RAP Working Group is a vibrant and diverse collective, bringing together voices from all levels of our organisation — from senior and junior engineers to project managers and team members across functional areas. Each member contributes unique perspectives and expertise, enriching the group’s work. Together, we are committed to building and nurturing respectful relationships with First Nations organisations, promoting our RAP across WGA, and deepening understanding of the historical, political,

and social factors that continue to shape the experiences of First Nations communities.
OUR RAP AND GOVERNANCE
Our RAP Working Group, supported by Aboriginal external advisors has achieved significant milestones. We have formed 16 meaningful connections with First Nations businesses, procured over $200,000 of goods and services from First Nations suppliers, and are members of Supply Nation, Reconciliation SA, and Reconciliation WA. Key learnings from our journey include improved cultural awareness, stronger community engagement, inclusive procurement practices, and strengthened leadership and governance structures to support reconciliation efforts.
