The Boddington Gold Community Environment Committee was established in 2006 as part of Newmont's commitment to keeping the community informed on key environmental matters related to the Boddington. Committee members have a wide range of professional and personal backgrounds. Members engage with stakeholders on local issues, develop partnership arrangements with other key players and work with Newmont's environmental staff and Traditional Owners on developing and implementing a closure and future land use plan for the site. The committee also identifies and works on key environmental projects to enhance the local community.
In 2008, the Community Environment Committee focused World Environment Day activities on vulnerable and endangered fauna, including the Carnaby's Black Cockatoos. In 2009, Boddington continued the success of World Environment Day and identified two new projects to support--the Hotham River Boardwalk development and improving information and rest areas along the Bibbulmun Track.
