Dian Andyasuri, Director at Delta Dunia Group, said, “We are delighted to continue BUMA Australia’s successful partnership with Stanwell Corporation. This contract renewal reflects BUMA Australia’s valuable contributions to our clients’ success and our commitment to building long-term partnerships. Delta Dunia Group is proud of BUMA Australia’s dedication to providing exceptional and reliable mining services, fostering strong community relationships, and practicing environmental responsibility as we move forward with the Meandu Mine project, setting new standards for excellence and sustainability in the industry.
BUMA Australia has been operating the Meandu Mine project since 2021 and will continue to oversee all aspects of the mine. This includes Site Senior Executive (SSE) responsibilities, mine planning, drilling, blasting, overburden removal, coal mining, and the management of coal handling and processing plants. Additionally, BUMA will oversee rehabilitation activities, civil works, and the maintenance of both mobile and fixed plant equipment.
BUMA AUSTRALIA REMAINS DEDICATED TO FOSTERING ECONOMIC GROWTH, EMPOWERING COMMUNITY, AND SUSTAINABILITY
BUMA Australia is committed to creating jobs and community development initiatives for the South Burnett region where the Meandu Mine is located. Programs such as local skills training, cooperation with regional firms, and sponsorship of local sporting teams and events have greatly strengthened community bonds and boosted local economic growth.
“The new contract extension not only highlights BUMA Australia’s expertise in providing comprehensive mining services but also showcases our commitment to growing alongside the local economy and empowering the community. We are dedicated to recruiting locally and creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. Our focus on diversity and indigenous involvement ensures that all employees feel valued and supported. By investing in local talent and supporting diversity, we help to drive economic growth and social well-being in the South Burnett region,” said Colin Gilligan, CEO BUMA Australia.
In line with its commitment to environmental sustainability, BUMA Australia ensures that high-quality progressive restoration goals are consistently accomplished. In 2023, BUMA Australia reached an important milestone by completing the rehabilitation of 39.4 hectares of native vegetation at Meandu Mine. This initiative, which includes modern techniques for recovering local ecosystems, demonstrates BUMA Australia's commitment to environmental responsibility.
BUMA Australia's focus on compliance with the Coal Mining Safety and Health Act and Regulations has won industry recognition. Notably, Scott Anderson, a Heavy Diesel Fitter who is also the Site Safety and Health Representative (SSHR) of the company, received the 2024 QLD Mining Industry Health and Safety Conference Health Program Award. Scott collaborated with BreathSafe to develop a mobile prototype for real-time monitoring of respirable particulate matter and CO2 levels inside equipment operator cabs. This project demonstrated not only Scott's innovation, but also BUMA Australia's continued dedication to improving workplace safety and operational efficiency.
The extension contract with Stanwell Corporation at the Meandu Mine marks an important milestone for Delta Dunia Group as it continues to strengthen BUMA's presence in the global mining industry, particularly in the Australian market. More importantly, it allows BUMA Australia to continue its commitment to fostering local economic growth and sustainability.
