Liontown is proud to award Ngatjila Pty Ltd, a 100% Tjiwarl business, the Kathleen Valley Light Vehicle Maintenance Workshop contract.

Owned and operated by four brothers, Ngatjila aims to deliver exceptional maintenance services to the mining industry of Western Australia and is dedicated to performance, family wellbeing and sustainability. Liontown is thrilled to have supported the foundation of Ngatjila and to be the company’s first client.

“In engaging with Ngatjila, Liontown is enabling Tjiwarl people to operate business on their Traditional Lands, supporting the continuity of our cultural practices and strengthening our connection to Country,” said Ngatjila Managing Director Joel Maitland.

“We will provide for our family while creating opportunities for our people to thrive. By positively impacting maintenance at Kathleen Valley and subsequently other clients, we aim to build a strong foundation for job security, ensuring that our business and the people we serve continue to prosper for generations to come.”

To celebrate this partnership, Liontown and Ngatjila held a signing ceremony at our Perth office, marking the start of this important collaboration.

Our Kathleen Valley Lithium Operation is located on Tjiwarl land, an area rich in cultural and environmental significance. Liontown is committed to respecting this heritage and working closely with the Tjiwarl community to protect their traditions and create positive social and economic outcomes. Through our partnerships with local suppliers such as Ngatjila, we are working towards this goal.
