Kimberley: a region in profile 2014 Foreword
Kimberley: a region in profile was prepared by the Department of Regional Development in conjunction with the Kimberley Development Commission to provide a snapshot of the region’s economy. The Kimberley region is a northern jewel. The region produces 90 per cent of the world’s pink diamonds and world-class beef, possesses a number of famous natural attractions, while the Ord-East Kimberley Expansion Project is unlocking fertile agricultural land. The Royalties for Regions program is an important State Government initiative that will allocate more than $1 billion for regional projects in 2014-15, including more than $64 million in the Kimberley region. Since it began in 2008, Royalties for Regions has allocated $4.2 billion to more than 3,500 projects across regional Western Australia. Through programs like Royalties for Regions, the State Government is increasingly investing in infrastructure and services to grow the state, including implementing major economic, social and community development projects that arise from the Regional Investment Blueprints. This publication contains the latest information available on the economic development conditions of the Kimberley region and is one of a series of nine regional economic summary documents. I invite you to read Kimberley: a region in profile and trust you will find it interesting and informative.

There is increasing interest in opportunities for horticulture in the West Kimberley, which already produces sweet corn, watermelons and fodder. The Water for Food West Kimberley project will see Royalties for Regions funding of $12.5 million targeted to water investigations and planning for improved land access to expand and develop new agriculture precincts.

Pearling is an iconic industry operating out of Broome with pearl farms along the Kimberley coast, particularly off Eighty Mile beach, Buccaneer Archipelago and the Lacepede Islands. The success of the Broome pearling industry is attributed to the collection of pearl oysters (pinctada maxima), large tidal movements and a pristine marine environment.

10 1980s diamond and zinc/lead deposits were discovered. The Argyle diamond mine in the Kimberley is the largest supplier by volume in the world and the only known source of pink diamonds. The region is also a significant producer of natural coloured diamonds including champagne, cognac, and rare blue diamonds. In 2012-13, total resources production in the Kimberley was valued at $1.1 billion. Iron ore accounted for $535 million (48 per cent). Diamonds and crude oil make up 32 per cent of resources production, valued at $360 million in 2012-13. The remaining 20 per cent valued at $217 million, is comprised of nickel, copper, cobalt, gold, silver and construction materials. There is significant global interest in developing both the offshore Browse Basin and predominately onshore Canning Basin gas reserves. Development of these projects could significantly impact the Kimberley economy. A range of potential resource deposits are being explored across the region.

New building laws and a certified application process introduced in 2012 means the approval process is now more efficient and consistent across the state. The building and construction industry supports major development projects and provides employment and training opportunities across the region. The value of non-residential construction peaked at $243 million in 2010-11 as a result of strong mining investment. In 2012-13, the value was estimated at $79 million.
