Inspired

CY Innovations was inspired by the vision, ingenuity and dedication of engineer Charles Yelverton (CY) O’Connor who, at the close of the 19th century, was commissioned with the seemingly impossible task to build a pipeline to pump water 350 miles from the costal city of Perth to the heart of the arid desert and rich goldfields of central Western Australia.

CY O’Connor unfortunately succumbed to constant criticism about the project and took his own life 10 months before the first water arrived in Kalgoorlie on 22 January 1903.

Today the twin cities of Kalgoorlie/Boulder are a thriving metropolis which continues to provide the lifeblood of the Western Australian economy since gold was first discovered at Kalgoorlie in 1893.
