ABOUT US
In 2009 Adrian & Dionne Connolly established an engineering business that serviced Cloncurry and
the surrounding area. This small one man mobile welding business quickly grew to a 17 man
Boilermaking team with associated labourers, apprentices and trades assistants that serviced large
Mine Operations around Cloncurry and the North West region of Queensland.
When the demand for labour across the region became a necessity, a Labour hire arm was added to
the business. The Labour Hire division of Curry Contracting also experienced growth and success and
superseded the Engineering division of the business.
In 2016 it became apparent that for local people in regional communities to significantly benefit
from any new investment or development in the Western areas of Queensland, Local People with
Local Knowledge would be required and the Curry Contracting Labour Hire arm evolved into
Western Labour Hire Pty Ltd.
Western Labour Hire has successfully established partnerships with other Local Businesses,
Traditional Owners and a Globally recognised Mining Contractor because of our ability to deliver a
quality service that combines industry and local knowledge with the needs of both the client and the
local community. It is through these partnerships the Western Labour Hire have the capability to
tender/deliver on Mining, Civil and Construction project work.
Western Labour Hire Pty Ltd is proudly indigenous owned and has a workforce to suit the needs of
all clients from across Australia.
While trading as Curry Contracting, Western Labour Hire Pty Ltd were recognised in the Region and
the State as being “Best in Business” for various categories including but not limited to, Workplace of
Choice and Employer of the Year.
Western Labour Hire currently offer quality cost effective labour hire services to a number of clients
in the Mining and Construction Industries including but not limited to Glencore’s Mount Isa Mines
and Ernest Henry Mine.

To whom it may concern Paul Couchman, our Maintenance Coordinator for North West Queensland, has supported the operations of CopperChem’s Great Australian Mine for two years. During this time Paul has worked closely with Western Labour Hire (formerly Curry Contracting) and employed their services to support our rental fleet to repair excavator buckets, dozer blades and carryout tray repairs. Adrian has worked closely with our business providing high quality workmanship with response times expected of such a high calibre contractor. Adrian’s efforts have continued to exceed our expectations allowing our business to offer highly responsive outcomes to our client and in turn develop an enduring business partnership with Western Labour Hire (formerly Curry Contracting).

Great Australia Operations
To Whom It May Concern,
Western Labour Hire (formerly Curry Contracting) has delivered mining and associated services to the Mt Colin Mine Site for CopperChem Limited over the 12 month life of the project. This has been an approach between the parties to facilitate local Indigenous and non-indigenous employment opportunities within the Cloncurry and Mount Isa area.
The services delivered included:
Boilermaking on heavy fleet repairs and general works;
A personnel transportation service (bus drivers) which also delivered equipment to the site.
Coupled to mining services, Western Labour Hire provided multi-skilled equipment operators to the mining group. The personnel worked with the permanent CopperChem staff on daily mining activities.
Western Labour Hire were able to provide short term personnel when requested at the project.
Western Labour Hire were responsive to the changing requirements at the site and delivered quality services. The engagement of services was cost competitive to other alternates on both labour hire and services.
Personnel completed work under the CopperChem SHEMS and were required to maintain safety standards. During the project life a number of the personnel developed in their understanding on mine safety.
Unfortunately the project has ceased open pit operations and is transitioning into assessment of an underground mine development. This involves entering a short period of care and maintenance with most of the Western Labour Hire’s services ceasing, apart from transport drivers.
The two groups collaborated on changing approaches at the mine over a number of months through to closure and worked together on a number of matters to achieve operational targets.
Sincerely,
Peter Brown IGeneral Manager/SSE Mt Colin Mine CopperChem Ltd Site Office -Round Oak Road
