Mitsui E&P Australia (MEPAU) was proud to get behind the Mid West community’s Big Tractor Project alongside our joint venturer Beach Energy, together contributing $20,000 to the initiative that was largely funded by donations and contributions from the community and local businesses.

The giant, 36-tonne Chamberlain 40K replica was made in WA, just like the 1949 original, with parts constructed in Geraldton by DIAB Engineering, and then trucked to the Shire of Carnamah for assembly.

More than 2,000 people came to see the Big Tractor’s grand opening at the North Midlands Agricultural Society’s ‘NMAS Country Carnival’ over the weekend, and it’s anticipated the tractor will encourage an increase in visitors to Carnamah as a destination to stop and spend some time.

We recognise the importance of our role in generating community and social benefit through supporting local initiatives, projects and activities.  MEPAU achieves this through our social investment programs, and through our joint venture social investments – read more here: Community | MEPAU – Mitsui E&P Australia
