Programmed has announced a new partnership with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited to deliver integrated village management services across its Tropicana and Sunrise Dam operations in Western Australia.
This partnership marks an important milestone in Programmed’s resources portfolio, supporting two established mining villages that play a critical role in AngloGold Ashanti’s Australian operations.
Through this partnership, Programmed will deliver services that support the comfort, wellbeing and day-to-day needs of the onsite workforce. AngloGold Ashanti is a global gold mining company with a geographically diverse portfolio of operations and projects across the full mining value chain. The company recognises the impact its activities have on people, communities and the environment and is committed to responsible and sustainable operations.
In Australia, AngloGold Ashanti operates two sites in the north‑eastern Goldfields of Western Australia: Sunrise Dam and Tropicana.
“This new partnership gives us the opportunity to make a real difference on site,” said John Pirie, Head of Facilities Management in Western Australia and Resources.
“By working closely with AngloGold Ashanti Australia, we’re focused on delivering practical, people-centred services that create a better everyday experience for those living and working in the village, while supporting long-term success.”
Programmed will provide a comprehensive suite of services across the Tropicana and Sunrise Dam villages. Our scope of work includes accommodation management, catering, cleaning, retail, grounds, aerodrome services and transport. Moreover, maintenance services will be delivered at the Sunrise Dam site.
This partnership draws on Programmed’s depth of experience in remote workforce environments and the strength of Australia’s largest site ready workforce. It reflects our ability to deliver high quality outcomes across multiple sites, even in the most challenging locations.
Programmed’s approach is designed around the unique needs of each site, delivering comfortable accommodation, high‑quality food and well‑maintained facilities that support safe and efficient operations. This capability is underpinned by proven excellence, including being named National Industrial Caterer of the Year at the 2025 WA Restaurant and Catering HostPlus Awards for Excellence.
With more than 70 years of experience supporting critical industries, Programmed continues to strengthen its presence across regional and remote Western Australia.
