A huge congratulations to Dave and Brooksy, who officially passed their WorkSafe legislation exams last month! Decades of real-world site experience, and now officially registered Statutory Supervisors. Safe to say, they prefer a Saltbush truck over a classroom desk, but they got the job done.

Our growth from four employees to a major regional employer is fueled by a simple philosophy: hire local, work hard, and stick to our principles of safety.

It’s our incredible people who make Saltbush a trusted leader in the industry! We are so proud of our team of 150+ professionals keeping things moving safely every day. 🙌

Last week we had the pleasure of celebrating Noel’s 80th Birthday! A truly special occasion for an incredible member of the Saltbush family.

Noel has been an integral part of our team and a familiar face across our operations bringing decades of knowledge, dedication, and hard work to everything he does.

Remarkably Noel has been operating dozers since the age of 16! A lifetime of experience that few can match and a testament to his passion for our industries.

Thank you Noel for everything you’ve contributed over the years. We’re proud to have you as part of the Saltbush family!

Happy 80th Birthday! 🎂👏

Our business journey has been defined by hard work, family values, and an unwavering commitment to doing the right thing for our clients, our team, and the local community.

We were honoured to be finalists in the 2026 WA Regional Business Excellence Awards over the weekend, standing alongside some of the state’s finest.

Being in a room filled with so much regional talent was incredibly inspiring and a great reminder of why we do what we do. Seeing the passion within our business community only strengthens our drive to keep delivering for the mining industry and the Goldfields region.

Congratulations to all the winners—we’re proud to be part of a business community that works so hard to keep Western Australia moving forward. We’re heading back to work today more motivated than ever. ⚒️✨

21 years ago, Saltbush began with a vision to build something lasting for our family and the Goldfields.

Today, we’ve grown from a small family outfit into a leading mining services provider, but our core mission remains the same: building a sustainable future for the next generation and the region we call home. 🛠️

We are so proud to be representing Kalgoorlie at the 2026 WA Regional Business Excellence Awards! 🏆

It’s an honour to stand alongside other fantastic local finalists like M’Cookies and TH Lounge. We love doing business in Kalgoorlie—it’s the heart of the mining industry and a community that genuinely supports its own. From our humble beginnings 21 years ago to managing a 150-strong team today, we wouldn’t want to be based anywhere else.

We can't wait to celebrate the incredible businesses that help make this state such a wonderful place to live and work. Let’s bring it home for the Goldfields! 🥂✨

A cookie business, a hair salon and a contracting company are three Kalgoorlie-Boulder businesses that could take home regional business excellence awards next month.

There’s something about sunrise at Saltbush. New day, same grit.

Nathan and Mick will probably never send us a selfie again after posting this… but how could we not?! Just two blokes stoked for another day of action at Saltbush.
