Kevin Smallhorn - Community Reference Group Member

Kevin has lived in Kalgoorlie for the past 25 years. He was married in Kalgoorlie in 1962 and with his wife Alice they have raised their four children in the Goldfields.

Kevin recently retired after passing the family business over to his son and this has left him with plenty of time to pursue his passions, including the development of the local community.

Kevin is a life member of Lions Club International and he has been involved with the Club for over 35 years.

Kevin feels that as a member of the CRG, he can communicate the concerns of local residents to the company and with his past experience can help the wider community to form a better relationship with KCGM.

Max Bentley - Community Reference Group Member

Max has worked in the Goldfields since 1991. He was originally under contract to Curtin University then left for two years and returned in 1994 as a permanent resident.

Since his return to the Goldfields, Max has managed the Goldfields branch of a Western Australian mining replacement parts manufacturer.

Since this time he has managed the distribution of packaged explosives for the region, the development of a local equipment hire company and now is developing the business of Australia's largest dragline manufacturer's hardware and mining processing products in the region.

His region extends from Wiluna in the north to Ravensthorpe in the south and to Southern Cross to the west. Max's firm supplies mining products to KCGM, so he sees the Super Pit from "the inside out" on a daily basis.

Max rates meeting and marrying his wife Kathleen in 1998 as his proudest accomplishment. So much in fact that that Max recently joined Kathleen on the CRG Committee and they are proving a force to be reckoned wife, in the nicest possible way. 

You can contact Max on 0429 990 485
