The Brief:

Evolution Mining marked twenty years of production at Cowal Gold Operations with a community celebration that formed part of the West Wyalong Hearts of Gold Festival, held in New South Wales Riverina region.

The day was planned to come alive with family activities, rides, food stalls and vibrant local entertainment, all building toward an energetic evening of live music capped by a standout headline act.

The Collaboration:

To secure a standout penultimate and celebrate the 20-year milestone, Renee Pettit, Community Relations Advisor at Evolution Mining, used acta’s directory to enquire for energetic Australian party band Furnace and the Fundamentals. Using the platform, she was connected directly with their management, Leon Rogovoy at FRNDS MGMT.

acta kept the process organised in one place, supporting clear communication, smooth negotiations and straightforward agreement finalisation. This allowed Evolution Mining’s events team to stay focused on shaping a memorable community celebration while the talent booking progressed with ease.

The Outcome:

The Hearts of Gold twenty years celebration brought a genuine sense of pride to West Wyalong, as the community came together to recognise two decades of shared growth and contribution.

Furnace and the Fundamentals closed the evening with a high energy set filled with their trademark mash ups, sing along moments and upbeat party atmosphere that lifted the crowd. Their performance delivered a fitting finish to a celebration that held real meaning for the people of the region.
