Western Australia’s Labor government has leant on mining and oil and gas companies to create a billion dollar-plus “community investment fund” with a big chunk of the funds earmarked for an Aboriginal cultural centre in the centre of Perth. The fund already has commitments of $750 million thanks to donors that include Gina Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting, which is reported to have kicked in $100 million.
“We’re lighting up the City this summer and there’ll be something for everyone to enjoy — see you in our City of Light,” Mr Zempilas said. The City of Light shows are presented by the Hancock Group of companies, including Hancock Prospecting, Roy Hill and Atlas Iron.
The inaugural Swimming Patron’s Gala was held in Brisbane on November 19th to celebrate the amazing year for Australia’s swimmers, and for their coaches, friends and families of swimmers to come together and recognise all that our champion swimmers do.
“Perth is synonymous with light and after the success of the CBD’s first drone show this February, the City of Light shows will honour our new brand and reinforce that no city lights up like Perth,” City of Perth Lord Mayor Zempilas said. The City of Light Shows are proudly presented by the Hancock Group of companies, including Hancock Prospecting, Roy Hill and Atlas Iron. The City will be illuminated over the summer with six special light shows to wow the people of Perth from November to February.
