2 WA Mining and Energy Infrastructure Conference 2011 "Exploring the wealth of opportunities" September 2011, Convention & Exhibition Centre,, Western Australia The WA Mining and Energy Infrastructure Conference to be held on September 2011 at the Convention and Exhibition Centre. There is no doubt that WA is the engine room for the nation's resources sector. The Government's $80 million Exploration Incentive Scheme has contributed to the State's mineral exploration reaching record levels with 1032 operating mine sites. The resources sector remains the epicenter of the State's economy reaching $91.6 billion in With $170 billion worth of projects in the pipeline or currently in progress, it is crucial that the public and private sector work closely to ensure that WA continues to be at the forefront of the mining wave. By covering key issues and challenges experienced by the industry and discussing the plans and visions for the sector, this will ensure that mining remains the nation's investment destination. The WA Mining and Energy Infrastructure Conference has been organised to bring together and provide an ideal platform for top speakers from both the public and private sectors to discuss plans and visions along with investments into key projects. The mining boom in WA has provided immense growth to the State's infrastructure projects such as Regional Planning, Ports, Roads, Rail, Power and Social infrastructure. The conference will also discuss this growth along with the strategic analysis of the opportunities that will arise from these projects.
