Use the contact form and include the page URL, the statement you believe is wrong, the correction you suggest and, where possible, an official source link or document date.
How a report is reviewed
The editor checks the responsible primary source first, then reliable secondary material if the primary source is unavailable. A business request does not automatically change editorial copy. Personal account and Marketplace disputes are handled privately.
What happens next
Clear errors are corrected as soon as practical. A substantial correction may be noted in the article or editorial record. Minor spelling, formatting and translation improvements may be made without a public correction note. Review dates change only when the affected content has actually been checked.
Material corrections log
6 August 2026
- Super Pit access and tours: corrected the former statement that active-mine tours were unavailable. KCGM public tours have recommenced on an authorised route with an internal lookout; independent mine access remains prohibited.
- Super Pit directions and machinery: corrected the public-lookout road reference, removed an unsupported 800-tonne haul-truck claim and removed fixed blast-time, unverified unmanned-aircraft penalty, toilet and access claims that were not supported by the operator pages checked.
- Lake Ballard facilities: removed the statement that sanitation facilities were absent after a Shire of Menzies publication confirmed toilets at the free camping site.
- KCGM ownership: corrected the record to show Saracen acquired Barrick’s interest, Northern Star acquired Newmont’s interest, and Northern Star took sole control after the 2021 Saracen merger.
- Living in Kalgoorlie: corrected the TAFE provider and WA Nickel operating status, then removed the page and its translations from indexing pending a full evidence-led rebuild.
Refresh-audit corrections on 6 August 2026
- Separated Lake Douglas information from the conditions published for Centennial Park.
- Removed unsupported one-tank fuel and two-litre water advice from the Perth to Kalgoorlie guide and replaced it with current safety-source guidance.
- Archived the completed 2026 Diggers & Dealers event guide.
- Corrected the Goldfields pipeline length and removed an unsupported Hannan's Day public-holiday statement and a single-cause claim about C. Y. O'Connor.
- Removed unsupported Super Pit facility, pet and blast-wait claims.
- Rebuilt mining-employment guidance around role requirements, fair recruitment and disability-employment support.
Material corrections on 28 September 2026
The Kalgoorlie history guide was rebuilt after a primary-source review. Corrections cover the June 1893 discovery sequence, early water sources, the Goldfields pipeline heritage status, the war memorial location, deaths during the 1934 riots, the 1989 local-government merger and the location and careful description of C. Y. O'Connor's death.
Visitor-information corrections on 16 October 2026
A targeted source check corrected the expanded Esperance coach timetable, the former ibis/Plaza hotel duplication, campsite and pet guidance, visitor-attraction details and pub locations in English, German and French. The Plaza is at 45 Egan Street; GE3 service 671 runs on Monday and Wednesday, and 651 on Friday. The guides now distinguish the two Discovery properties, Lake Ballard road access, Rowles Lagoon facilities and the original and current pipeline lengths. Unsupported prices, boarding, facilities and operating promises were removed or qualified. This was a targeted correction pass, not a fact-check of the entire website.
Sources include Transwa, The Plaza and the responsible operators and local authorities linked beside the corrected claims. Search stays: The Plaza Hotel Kalgoorlie
