Rio Tinto to contribute $10M to help fund the Minna Oval Development Project

Rio Tinto will contribute $10M to the Shire of Ashburton to help fund the Minna Oval Development Project in Tom Price. The project includes the development of a clubhouse, undercover sports viewing areas, changerooms and toilets, a commercial kitchen and kiosk, and a new shaded playground. These facilities will be used by local sporting organizations and the adjacent North Tom Price Primary school. The Minna Oval Development Project was identified as an important community project through the Shire of Ashburton’s Community Lifestyle Infrastructure Plan, which Rio Tinto provided $1M towards. This $10M commitment is in addition to the $37.5M contribution made by Rio Tinto to support the Inspire Community Partnership Agreement over a 10-year period.
