Steelmaking company POSCO has teamed up with Roy Hill to fund a community gathering and performance space as part of the next stage of the Korean War memorial project in WA.
Each company will contribute $500,000 in funding to construct an amphitheatre site opposite the Korean War memorial in Kings Park, WA.
The amphitheatre will support music events, theatre productions and community activities.
“I am honoured POSCO is able to contribute with Hancock Prospecting and Roy Hill to fund this new outdoor amphitheatre,” POSCO Group chairman Jeong-woo Choi said.
“We are very grateful for the friendship of Korea and Australia and this can continue with us partnering to build this amphitheatre.
“(Gina) Rinehart is passionate in her support for veterans, and strongly believes we should never forget the bravery and dedication of those who served our countries.”
The two companies hope that the space will be a welcoming environment that fosters community while providing a space for reflection.
“Roy Hill, Hancock and POSCO wish to acknowledge and congratulate the Perth Korean War Memorial Committee for their efforts in establishing the memorial and helping transform the precinct within Kings Park,” POSCO said in a statement.
