Community Engagement
Community Engagement
At Silverstone, community engagement is at the heart of everything we do. We believe our work should create more than infrastructure — it should leave a legacy of opportunity, respect, and long-term benefit. Wherever we operate, we are committed to partnering with local communities, supporting regional economies, and fostering sustainable growth through meaningful collaboration, employment, and social investment.
Silverstone believes that charity starts at home. We want to engage and support our local communities so that our business has a positive impact and leaves a legacy that we, and our families, can be proud of.
Silverstone prioritises providing local employment and training, business partnership opportunities, and investments that help provide essential services, socioeconomic development, and environmental stewardship.
We seek to learn about the traditions, cultures, perspectives, and development priorities of people where we work to build trusting and constructive long-term relationships.
At Silverstone, we want to have a positive impact in the communities in which we work. Wherever we have opportunities to get involved in sponsorships and providing community grants we are keen to get involved that is why we have created our Community Grants program.
Community Principles
Local Jobs & Training Opportunities
We prioritise hiring locally and investing in upskilling opportunities that create long-term career pathways. Through apprenticeships, traineeships, and on-the-job development, we help build stronger, more resilient regional workforces.
Regional Supplier & Business Support
Silverstone partners with local suppliers, service providers, and small businesses to keep investment within the community. Our focus on regional procurement strengthens local economies and supports sustainable business growth across WA.
Community Sponsorships & Engagement
From grassroots sport and school initiatives to community groups and wellbeing programs, we actively support projects that make a real difference in regional communities. Our grants and sponsorships help create healthier, more connected, and more vibrant local environments.
Our Commitment in Action
Community engagement at Silverstone is about more than participation — it’s about creating lasting value. We take a proactive, hands-on approach to supporting the people, businesses, and regions we work alongside, ensuring that every project delivers benefits beyond operational outcomes. Through strong relationships, local investment, and responsible decision-making, we remain deeply connected to community needs and expectations.
Our commitment is strengthened by three core principles:
01
Experienced people to solve problems quickly
02
Vertical integration to reduce the need for contractors
03
Private ownership to ensure quality over profits
Proven Results
