Northparkes has been a proud long-time supporter and participant of the Parkes Elvis Festival.
Each year the Northparkes Street Parade is a major highlight of the festival filled with Elvis themed floats, vintage and classic cars and motorbikes all lead by the Northparkes float.
Thousands of Elvis fans turn up to watch the parade each year. Our employees and their families are invited to dress up and jump on board the Northparkes float and join in on the fun.
The Parkes Elvis Festival is one of the many events Northparkes is involved with and reflects the great community spirit in the region, making it a great place to live and work. Things have been full steam ahead onsite, with our committee working hard preparing for the 2024 festival. We can’t wait for you to see what we have in store this year with our new owners – Evolution Mining.
In December, Evolution Mining took 80 per cent ownership of Northparkes and we are excited to continue our focus on being a part of and working with our local communities together. Evolution Mining is an Australian owned company with six mining operations in total. Cowal and Northparkes in New South Wales, Mungari in Western Australia, Mt Rawdon and Ernest Henry in Queensland and Red Lake in Ontario, Canada.
Evolution is focused on continually getting better at what we do and finding new opportunities to grow. Northparkes’ vision for a Century of mining together is one of the many reasons Evolution sees so much potential for our future together – alongside the communities we work in and with everyday.
