Introduction
The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder is delighted to be able to present to the parliamentary inquiry and outline its concerns relating to regional airfares.
Our views were broadly outlined in the combined submission from the Western Australian Regional Capitals Alliance that has already been lodged with the inquiry.
Today's submission will focus on issues relating to Kalgoorlie-Boulder and highlight the detrimental affect that the often exorbitant and always high airfares have on the City broadly and particularly its residents who undoubtedly carry the brunt of the problem.
Economics and Industry Standing Committee Inquiry into Regional Airfares in Western Australia 31 August 2017 3 of 22 Overview of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and its Economy
The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder was formed in 1989 after it was decided that the two separate Shires were to amalgamate. It is located in the heart of the Goldfields Esperance Region of Western Australia (WA), approximately 600kms east of Perth.
The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder is WA's largest inland city and Australia's largest outback city responsible for an area of 95,575km2. The town site of Kalgoorlie-Boulder is 70 km 2 which is made up of residential, industrial and commercial businesses.
The City includes the suburbs of Kalgoorlie, Boulder, Hannans, Karlkurla, Lamington, Piccadilly, Williamstown, South Kalgoorlie, Somerville, West Kalgoorlie, Victory Heights, Broadwood and South Boulder.
The remaining land is utilised for primarily Mining and Agricultural purposes. The mining sector is the largest industry in Kalgoorlie-Boulder and is pivotal to the financial sustainability of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. Our lands are rich in ~inerals.
As per the 2016 Census, Kalgoorlie-Boulder had a population of 32,638. The population is a young demographic with an influx of young adults into the mining industry. The median population age is 31 years.
The City is a family friendly City. As per the 2011 Census, 69% of residents identified that they were living in a family unit. Of the families in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, 27.5% had two persons in the family unit, 20.75% had three persons, 27.2% had four persons .and 24.6% advised there was five persons or more in their family unit.
The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder has a culturally diverse population with residents originating from across the country and from overseas attracted to the lustre of the Gold and Commodities Industries. Kalgoorlie-Boulder is considered to be culturally diverse with 34% of the population identified as being born overseas and 6.9% of the population identifying themselves as Aboriginal or Torres Strait heritage (ABS 2011 ).
Kalgoorlie-Boulder is a major contributor to the WA economy with a Gross Regional Product (GRP) estimated at $7.9 billion in 2015-2016, representing 3.2% of WA's Gross State Product (GSP) of $248.6 billion.
Kalgoorlie-Boulder is rich in two of Australia's most dominant resource commodities, gold and nickel. Over recent years, there has also been a significant exploration program and investment into mining another commodity, lithium. Increases in global demands for lithium can be explained by an increase in global production of Lithium ion batteries used in devices such as smart phones, laptops, cars and power systems.
Mining accounts for approximately 57% of the total output within the Kalgoorlie Boulder's economy with around 27% of the workforce employed in the industry. Other commodities of interest and economic value also include uranium and iron ore.

Kalgoorlie-Boulder has built on its strengths in the mining sector enabling the emergence of a number of other significant industries.
The manufacturing services industry is a key supplier to the mining industry and has become the second largest sector in terms of economic output.
Education is also a substantial sector in Kalgoorlie-Boulder including Curtin University's Western Australian School of Mines (WASM) and a TAFE campus. This sector is a key contributor to the economy and the community.
Other industries which have also become important contributors to Kalgoorlie-Boulder include tourism, creative industries and population based services such as retail, professional, health and social support services, all of which provide significant economic and social contributions.
The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder strives to address both economic and societal factors that drive socioeconomic development. It cannot drive major initiatives on its own and has created a sphere of influence through effective advocacy, governance, networking and partnerships to ensure there are sustainable and positives outcomes for our City and its community for many generations to come.
Economics and Industry Standing Committee Inquiry into Regional Airfares in Western Australia 31 August 2017 5of22 Performance of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport
Unlike some other Western Australian regional airports, Kalgoorlie-Boulder has reasonable passenger numbers, is efficient, employs relatively low staff numbers, is fully compliant with all regulations and is profitable.
In 2016/17 the airport returned a net operating profit of $1.88m after a return on investment was paid to the City, full depreciation provided and corporate overheads allocated. After capital expenditure of $834k, the total surplus was around $1 m.
It should also be noted however, that $1.278m of revenue at the airport is derived from ancillary services rather than airline charges including advertising, vehicle rental leases, car parking (newly introduced) licence fees and grants.
Over the next 10 years capital expenditure of $13.4m is planned to ensure the airport is maintained to an acceptable level (see attachment 1 ).
Whilst all costs are met by the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and it carries all risk, the airport services an area broader' than Kalgoorlie-Boulder as it is a regional hub used by surrounding local government areas and towns, mining companies and support services including substantial government use.
It is essential that the airport remain viable and profitable in the long term in the interests of our rate payers who carry the risk in economic:Jl{~llli~C--- ~ Given the airport at Kalgoorlie-Boulder receives ar nd 250,000 passengers er year and is able to be run successfully, it is staggering t the airline also make adequate returns off this route without charging the fares they do. Understanding the profitability of this route would be useful.
Economics and Industry Standing Committee Inquiry into Regional Airfares in Western Australia 31 August 2017 6of22 Key Issues Affecting Kalgoorlie-Boulder
There is only (1) key issue that needs addressing today and that is the high and/or exorbitant airfares that are charged to those people not travelling on corporate or negotiated airfares or travelling on a ticket that has no onward connections and who cannot book substantially in advance on flexible days.
In short, these are the people who live and work in the region or who have a need to visit Kalgoorlie-Boulder for family or business reasons.
Travelling by air to and from remote locations for family, health, business or soci ~ reasons is extremely expensive. Yield management practices of airlines mean thW after factoring in contract and through fares and advanced purchase fares, those people that need to travel are paying the highest prices and in Kalgoorlie return fares of between $800-$1200 per person are common. Such fares are difficult for individuals and impossible for families. (See attachment 4).
Unravelling the airlines policies and practices, yield management systems, pricing policies, loads and scheduling is impossible for anyone but the airlines themselves or regulators and governments.
This means the airlines will always be better informed and able to justify what, for all reasonable people, seems price gauging.

Local Government Airport Charges
Much has been made by the airlines on the issue of excessive local government charges at WA regional airports. It is our view that their arguments are groundless.
Appendices 2 and 3 show details of comparative data between airports as well as an estimate of the percentage of an average fare that local government charges in each airport make up.
There is a caveat on the accuracy of information presented however, in that we as a city are not privy to all the necessary information airlines have as it is not publicly available.
In Kalgoorlie's case the passE?1ger airport charge and licence · $25.95 for each arriving and departing pass~ger (excluding security charge . his equates to approximately 6% of the averagerfafe emg-=e -a - . . available fares.
Given the Councils operating and capital requirements this level of charges is necessary. In any event any reductions made to these charges would have little or no noticeable effect on fares and airlines would be unlikely to pass on the savings in any event.
Economics and Industry Standing Committee Inquiry into Regional Airfares in Western Australia 31 August 2017 9of22 Government Support ® The City generally supports an open skies policy and deregulated routes. It is our philosophic view that doing business this way is generally a better way of doing things, however, the City's faith is tested when the airlines operate as they do.
In the absence of action by the airlines to change and curtail the excessive pricing policies they practice, the city would join the many calls that exist to place some regulation into the market place on routes and pricing.
(();} The city believes that government also has a role to play in keeping airlines to account ~ by monitoring pricing, loads, routes and the interplay between the parties. This information gathering and the accountability that goes with it will help keep pressure on in future years in our view.

Possible Solutions
1. Cap the extreme fares that result from yield management pricing strategies that affect mostly local who have little lead time for their bookings.
2. Provide retail airfares that are in line with negotiated corporate fares.
3. Quarantine a set number of low cost seats for local residents.
4. Airlines and the local authority negotiate resident's fares on commercial terms.
5. Government financially supports airport infrastructure grants as they do with other transport options such as roads and rail.

Conclusion
Whilst there are many issues that need to be considered, the reality of airfares in regional WA is they exceed any comparisons on any measure with all other states and international when offered to the general public.
This affects the quality of life of residents who live remotely, their access to basic services and their ability to enjoy every day opportunities available to others and importantly the ability of their friends and relatives to visit.
It affects small business people travelling to Perth and those travelling to Kalgoorlie and the region as they are unable to negotiate corporate fares and are least able to afford the fares offered.
High airfares affect greatly the city's ability to develop a tourism industry (other than the drive market) as we cannot compete on any level.
There is only one issue in Kalgoorlie-Boulder regarding this matter, "airfares are always high and often exorbitant and therefore unfair."

A reporl on all items to be brought back to Council at the earliest opportunity but no later than 31 July 2017. Letters were forwarded to both Qantas and Virgin as requested. Qantas responded positively to the request to discuss the matter and three (3) tel1ephon,e meetings have taken place subsequently. These discussiorns have been positive in trying to find solutions to the issues raised by Council and continue. As yet there is no resolution. Virgin has ignored Council's letter and a follow up, and has not even provided an acknowledgement. The Mayor's letter to the Premier was sent The Premier has fulfilled his promise to hold a Parliamenta~ inquiry into Regional Airfares and the Inquiry will meet in Kalgoorlie on the 31 6 August 2017 as part of its deliberations. The City has prepared a 'fonnal submission in conjunction with other members of the Regional Capitals Alliance and will also present to the !Inquiry at its meeting on the 31 51 August. A copy of the Alliance submission is at1aohed. The comparative data requested has been pr;epared and is detailed below. DETAILS The airports concerned are: • Albany Airport # Economics and Industry Standing Committee Inquiry into Regional Airfares in Western Australia 31 August 2017 16 of 22 KA LGOORJ,JE·BOULDER AG'EINDA 28 AUGUST, 2017 • Broome lntemational Airport • Sunbury Aiirport* • Busselton~Marga.ret Rive.r Airport • Esperance Airport# • Geraldton Airport • Karratha International Airport • Port Hedland International Airport and • Northam Airport* Those ai11ports marked with an asteri1sk (*) are registered (rather than certified} and conduct no regular public transport (RPT) flights. They are not security restricted - meaning, among other things, that they do not conduct passenger screening. Those airports marked with a hatch(#} are State regulated, security restricted and do conduct RPT flights but do not undertake passenger screening !because th.e REX aircraft serving those communities weigh less than the 20,000kg mandated limit for screening. Neither the Bunbury nor Northam airpo.rts ar:e included in this rev1lew and the fe.es and charges that are imposed by both the Albany and Esperance airports are ino1uded only in terms of noting their fee structures but are not otherwise assess·ed as they do not impose screening charges. This information compares landing fees, passenger fees and screening charges for a 79.01 tonne 8737-800 with a seating capacity of 176, 75% loaded with 132 passengers on board on a return flight. The assessment also assumes a landing by a 737-800 at the IBusselton-Margaret River Airport, which does not actually accommodate that aircraft. (All charges shown exclude GST.)
