MRM Community Reference Group

The MRM Community Reference Group (CRG) has been active since 2006 and is an important initiative for both MRM and the local community. 

The CRG was established to encourage a greater sharing of ideas and information between MRM and the communities that surround the mine.

The group is made up of Traditional Owners from the four local language groups as well as a cross section of business people and representatives from the Roper Gulf Shire Council, the Northern Territory Government and MRM.

The CRG meets regularly and involves the mine’s General Manager and senior management team representatives providing an update on MRM and its activities. As community representatives, the members have the opportunity to ask questions about the mine and get the answers direct from MRM.

The CRG regularly discusses a variety of topics like:

  • Mining operations
  • MRM’s environmental monitoring programs in and around the McArthur River and Gulf
  • Sponsorships for the community
  • Sacred sites and sites of cultural significance
  • Local business, employment and training opportunities
  • Community feedback on needs, priorities, ideas and views.

A summary of each meeting is published on the Borroloola community noticeboard and in the MRM newsletter, MemoRanduM.
