Gina Rinehart has broken ground on a $20 million renovation project at Roy Hill’s headquarters in west Perth.
The newly renovated office building will host up to 600 staff and feature a roof garden and solar panels.
Reflecting Rinehart’s commitment to ongoing breast cancer research, the building will be pink themed and inspired by the Sturt desert pea.
“We love our firsts at Roy and our design will be the first of its kind in Australia, indeed the world,” Rinehart said.
“It is fitting our new West Australian corporate headquarters will embody something so Australian and special as the Sturt desert pea.”
Previously owned by oil and gas giant ConcoPhillips, the building allegedly sold for $60 million in April 2022.
“Soil has been turned at the site of our new state-of-the-art corporate headquarters in west Perth,” the company said in a Linkedin post.
“The ground-breaking project will bring Roy Hill closer to its parent company Hancock Prospecting and major shareholders Marubeni and POSCO, creating a landmark building in the heart of west Perth’s mining and resources precinct with the building’s exterior using the desert sturt pea as inspiration.”
The building is the latest pink-painted project by Rinehart, with the iron ore giant unveiling the first FLXdrive 100 per cent battery-powered locomotive alongside Watbec in the US – also pink.

It was revealed in October the City of Perth had signed off on planning approval for the site, which will be themed on the red Australian wildflower the Sturt desert pea. The flower and the pink theme reflect Roy Hill executive chairman Gina Rinehart’s long commitment to breast cancer research and support.

As the minister overseeing the process, he has been unable to effect any real change in seven years, so there’s little confidence that change will happen quickly. According to the CCIWA, there are about $381 billion of investment projects in the pipeline that are yet to receive environmental approval that could create an estimated 106,000 jobs. Of those the CCIWA surveyed, 40 per cent were at risk of abandoning their project due to longer-than expected approval times. As outlined in the WA CCI’s Green Web report, businesses have described working with the State Environmental Protection Authority as “laborious and frustrating” with “ever-changing guidelines and shifting goal posts”. Currently, the normal expectation for a mine to come online is eight to 10 years, double traditional expectations of four to five years.

Miners dig in on ‘divisive’ IR deal

Labor’s industrial relations deal with resource sector employers has split the mining industry, with Gina Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting opposing the agreement and the Minerals Council of Australia accusing a rival employer body of being a “soft target”. As the Senate crossbench renewed its bid to split the bill this year, employer groups representing big and small business criticised the Australian Resources and Energy Employer Association over the deal to exclude ¬service contractors from the industrial relations bill. Hancock Prospecting’s Roy Hill mining operation, which is a member of both AREEA and the Minerals Council of Australia, wrote to AREEA chief executive Steve Knott on Wednesday to express concern about the deal.

Australians should receive a “much-needed” Christmas bonus from the Federal Government, in the form of another fuel excise cut for December, mining billionaire Gina Rinehart believes. Speaking out after hearing about the impact of cost-of-living rises from West Australians at the National Agriculture and Related Industries Day, Mrs Rinehart said halving the 44.2¢ a litre excise would provide relief. Former prime minister Scott Morrison’s government halved the fuel excise to 22.1¢ a litre in March last year, offering six months of cost-of-living relief to drivers.
