4 RESOURCE SECTOR The Pilbara is the economic powerhouse of the nation with an economy dominated by the extraction, processing and export of minerals and hydrocarbons. The 2011/12 value of Pilbara minerals and petroleum exports was AU$84b, increased from AU$4.1b in 1999/2000. The Pilbara accounts for 80% of WA s mineral and petroleum production value. The Pilbara services the offshore Carnarvon Basin, Australia s largest known oil and gas reserve that earned AU$23b (22% WA total mineral's and petroleum value) in 2011/12.

5 RESOURCE SECTOR In 2011/12 the Pilbara (on and off shore) was responsible for AU$84b of minerals and petroleum production, 80% of total WA production value. 2% 2% 2% 9% 5% Pilbara Peel Mid West Wheatbelt Goldfields-Esperance Other 80%

6 RESOURCE SECTOR The value of earnings from the Pilbara can be compared to many Nation State s Gross Domestic Product. $84b represents: 5.5% of Australia's total GDP 50% of New Zealand s GDP Greater than the individual GDP of 123 of the worlds 185 nation states. (2012 International Monetary Funds list of GDP )

7 RESOURCE SECTOR Major Australian exports: Iron ore is Australia s largest export earner with an estimated value of AU$62b* in 2011/2012. Coal is the next most valuable earner at AU$48.b. Crude oil and LNG are third at AU$25.1b (BREE Resource and Energy Statistics March 2013quarter page 17) In Australia the Pilbara produces approximately: 90% of Australia s iron ore 85% Australia s LNG 80% of Australia s crude oil and condensate (Western Australian Department for Mineral and Petroleum)

8 The Pilbara has world class Ports. By tonnage Port Hedland is the largest in Australia and ranked 11 th largest in the world. Dampier Port Authority is ranked second in Australia and ranked 19 th in the world.

14 I R O N ORE Workforce requirements are estimated in terms of construction and operational jobs. Not all projects as yet have accurate predictions of the numbers they will require. Based on data provided from the Bureau of Resources and Energy Economics and the WA Department of State Development, the current identified figures for additional jobs required in the Pilbara before 2020 are: 25,050 construction jobs 15,040 operational jobs.

15 I R O N ORE Primary risks to the growth of the Pilbara iron ore industry are: Change in the Chinese economic outlook Cost pressures ie taxes and wage increase Lack of skilled workers International competition from Brazil and West Africa Infrastructure constraints, ports, roads, housing, power, water

16 L I Q U E F I E D N AT U R A L GAS Australia s largest known conventional oil and gas reserve, the Carnarvon Basin, is located off the Pilbara coast and had a production value of AU$23.7b in 2011/2012. These reserves are owned by the Australian Government although onshore processing and servicing occurs from Pilbara located facilities and towns. The Pilbara LNG industry is experiencing major growth simultaneously with the iron ore industry and looking to expand to 30 mtpa by 2015 and 60 mtpa by (Pilbara Infrastructure and Planning Framework Jan 2012)

17 In 2012 the world LNG production capacity measured 288 million tonnes. Due to location, the growth in the Asia pacific region is most important to the Pilbara and this trade in 2012 is expected to be 185 million tonnes annually. Demand for LNG in the region is then expected to grow at a 7% yearly average. (Resource and Energy Quarterly March 2013 p31 BREE) L I Q U E F I E D N AT U R A L GAS Forecast demand for LNG in million tonnes per year in the Asia-Pacific (Resource and Energy Quarterly March 2013 p 31 BREE)

18 L I Q U E F I E D N AT U R A L GAS Forecast world supply of LNG in million tonnes per year (Resource and Energy Quarterly March 2012 p 42 BREE)

19 Investment on committed Oil and Gas projects in the Pilbara is approximately AU$90b, these projects will raise LNG production in the Pilbara from 17 million tonnes in 2011/2012, by approximately 30 Mtpa.

22 L I Q U E F I E D N AT U R A L GAS Primary risks to the growth of the Pilbara liquefied natural gas industry are: Demand for skilled labour will outstrip supply Increase in capital and labour costs Development of alternative fuel sources Competition from other suppliers

23 O T H E R MINERALS The Pilbara also produces a range of other minerals having a total 2011/12 value of AU$2.3b. This is led by: gold and silver at $1 billion copper at $576 million, manganese and salt at $487 million and other minerals at $167 million.

24 Investment committed on new and proposed projects in other minerals in the Pilbara is AU$1.95b, indicating future growth across these commodities.

25 O T H E R MINERALS Workforce requirements are estimated in terms of construction and operational jobs. Not all projects as yet have accurate predictions of the numbers they will require. Based on data provided from the Bureau of Resources and Energy Economics and the WA Department of State Development, the current identified figures for additional jobs required in the Pilbara before 2020 are: 1951 construction jobs 1000 operational jobs.

26 TO TA L S K I L L R E Q U I R E M E N T S Given the current investment detailed across all categories of minerals and petroleum in the Pilbara it can be estimated that an additional workforce of approximately: 40,000 construction workers and, 18,000 operational workers; will be needed before This is a conservative estimate due to incomplete employment data being available at this time.

27 P I L B A R A P O P U L AT I O N F O R E C A S T S The Australian Bureau of Statistics estimated the residential population for the Pilbara in 2012 at 62,736 people. The Western Australia Government s Pilbara Cities vision has a goal of increasing the residential population of the Pilbara to 140,000 by To achieve this Pilbara Cities is embarking on projects that increase the availability of land, affordable housing and renewal of community infrastructure. Employment to support these population targets will have to come from diversification of the economy as well as resource sector demands.

28 P I L B A R A P O P U L AT I O N F O R E C A S T S Based on nothing more than the additional 18,000 operational staff required for new and proposed resource projects, a percentage for fly in fly out and how many residential workers can be estimated. Using key assumptions (see footnote) it can be forecast that 18,000 operational staff will lead to an additional 21,189 people living in the Pilbara. For every industry job it can be assumed that service jobs will be created in the community, via the multiplier effect. For this example it is assumed one additional local job will be created in the Pilbara per every new industry worker. Using the same assumptions this would then attract another 21,189 people. This leads to a total increase in the residential population of the Pilbara of 40,000 by Key assumptions 1. Fly in Fly out operational workforce will be 57% (as predicted by PICC for 2015) 2. 65% bring their partner, 2.2 children per family, 69% of couples have children (sourced from Australian Bureau of Statistic 2011 Census Basic Community Profile - Pilbara)

29 Anticipated demand for key community service is primarily dependent upon the number of operational staff who are not fly in fly out. It needs to be recognised that fly in fly out staff are located in and around all Pilbara towns do use community resources and infrastructure such as health, police, water, parks and roads. The calculations below do not include this factor. D E M A N D FOR KEY C O M M U N I T Y S E RV I C E S Using multipliers provided by Dr Don Burnside, Principal Natural Resource Scientist URS, a resident population increase of 40,000 needs the following additional resources: 582 child care places 83 child care workers 2730 primary school places 195 primary school staff 496 secondary school children 62 secondary school staff 131 police 34 doctors 373 nurses An increase of 40,000 people means that 6,747 houses are needed for families, 12,013 for single and couples equating to 18,760 dwellings in total by 2020.

30 GDP REVISITED By 2015, and committed iron ore and LNG projects are completed. Export of iron ore in the Pilbara would now reach 665mtpa and LNG exports reach 30mtpa. At todays prices, value of production would exceed 120b $120b represents: 7.8% of Australia's total GDP 70% of New Zealand s GDP Greater than the individual GDP of 125 of the worlds 185 nation states.
