"The mining communities of Moranbah and Blackwater will benefit from a new partnership between the Department of Communities and BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance. Community Services Minister Karen Struthers said new youth services would be established in Moranbah and Blackwater under a $60,000 sponsorship agreement with BMA. “I commend BMA for its community spirit. These funds will go towards emergency accommodation for young people in Moranbah and Blackwater, as well as programs for young people to help them get their lives back on track,” Ms Struthers said. The funds will also be used to employ youth workers in the two mining communities."
