  • Whyalla and Eyre Peninsula
    SOUTH AUSTRALIAN CENTRE FOR ECONOMIC STUDIES ADELAIDE & FLINDERS UNIVERSITIES Regional Development Australia Whyalla and Eyre Peninsula Overview Geography RDA Whyalla and Eyre Peninsula covers an area of 170,500 square kilometres or 17.3 per cent of the State’s land mass. Population As at 30th June 2010 the region’s population was 58,700 persons or 3.6 per cent of the State’s population. The Indigenous population was estimated at 2,500 persons or 4.4 per cent of the region’s population. Economy and Labour force The region contributed $2,297 million to the State economy in 2006/07 or 3.4 per cent of gross state product. The four largest employing industries in the Whyalla Eyre Peninsula region were agriculture and fisheries (18.2 per cent), retail trade (14.3 per cent), manufacturing (11.9 per cent) and health and community services (10.9 per cent). Mining was relatively small at 1.4 per cent but is likely to show strong growth in the median term. The labour market is relatively strong with a participation rate above the State average and lower unemployment than the State average. Participation in VET courses is well above that for the State as a whole, while full-time participation in secondary school at age 16 is 71.4 per cent compared to South Australia at 78.4 per cent. NAPLAN reading results at year 3 are 15 percentage points lower than the State average but by year 7 they are 4.5 percentage points below the State average which indicates stronger school attendance over primary years of schooling.

  • The ISA Discussion Paper (DP) Identifies The
    The ISA Discussion Paper (DP) identifies the following four projects within the Eyre & Western Region as priorities ‐• 6‐Star $500m International Holiday Resort • Competitive Export Pathways for Primary Industries • Super School in Whyalla Education & Training Precinct • Energy Transmission and Generation on EP. This information is sourced (acknowledged) from the RDSA Infrastructure Priorities Report. The priorities require updating to reflect changes since the report was published and the report, within the context of this region and ISA’s objectives, requires a broader perspective. For instance RDAWEP has successfully supported and advocated for; the $100m Super School (due for completion in 2021) and has broadened the agenda to advocate for an integrated Education and Innovation Precinct (EIP) an $280m upgrade of the energy transmission network (Electranet due to commence construction in 2020) and is progressing various energy generation projects across the region – however the planned transmission upgrade will be at maximum capacity when completed and therefore requires greater capacity than is planned Competitive Export Pathways for Primary Industries which is a catch‐all for the ports of Thevenard, Port Lincoln, Lucky Bay, Whyalla, approved port at Cape Hardy together with bulk handling, storage and transport network efficiencies, including road & rail, for agriculture, mining and processing – this catch‐all represents many projects that drives efficiency, enhances global competitiveness and collectively exceeds $1bn, ranging from maintenance and enhancement of existing assets (i.e. dredging Thevenard) to building new Infrastructure (i.e. Cape Hardy Port and connection to national rail grid) Early high level master planning, identification of key stakeholders, location & land acquisition and potential partners for a multi experience International Resort.

  • Of Bioavailable Metal Contamination Across South Australia Using Translocated Mussels Mytilus Galloprovincalis
    Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia (2011), 135(1): 39–54 AN ASSESSMENT OF THE CURRENT STATUS OF BIOAVAILABLE METAL CONTAMINATION ACROSS SOUTH AUSTRALIA USING TRANSLOCATED MUSSELS MYTILUS GALLOPROVINCALIS S. GAYLARD1, S. THOMAS1, AND M. NELSON1 South Australian Environment Protection Authority, GPO Box 2607 Adelaide, South Australia 5001 1 – corresponding author, GPO Box 2607 Adelaide, South Australia 5001 Fax: +61881244673 Abstract This study presents results from the first regional assessment of metal levels in translocated blue mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819) in the nearshore coastal environment across South Australia. A total of 422 replicate samples of translocated mussels were deployed throughout 11 regions across the South Australian near shore marine environment. Mussels were recovered after approximately 70 days and analysed for total metal load in the flesh of the mussel. Results showed vast differences in metal concentrations between different regions and also compared to the baseline metal concentration. Many of these differences can be attributed to the level of industrial activity in the regions which may have implications for environmental regulation in these regions. KEY WORDS: Mytilus galloprovincialis, lead, cadmium, mercury, biomonitor, industrialisation. Introduction Spatial and temporal monitoring of levels and trends of metals and other contaminants in the coastal environment using bivalve mussels as bio-monitors is well established since Goldberg (1975) proposed the concept.
