Through State Development Agreements signed by Chevron and BHP Billiton with the Western Australian Government, extensive provisions have been made to improve community infrastructure and critical services within Onslow, providing a sound basis for the future growth of the town.
Through construction of BHP Billiton's Macedon domestic gas project and the Chevron-operated Wheatstone LNG project, major contributions have been made to the local economy through construction contracts and services, such as transport and marine services, and general supplies.
Chevron and BHP Billiton have also introduced funding programs to support a range of community-based projects and activities.
