Less than 150 women are Engineering Learning Factory (p. 34).

These non-resident workers live in regional areas while on-shift. The Australian Bureau of Statistics’ (ABS) resident population estimates for these areas do not include non-resident workers. The non-resident population represents the number of FIFO/DIDO workers who are on-shift in the region at a given point in time. This group includes those employed in construction, production, and maintenance at mining and gas industry operations, renewable energy projects and resource-related infrastructure. This report provides non-resident population estimates for the Surat Basin during the last week of June 2020. It also includes full–time equivalent (FTE) population estimates, which aggregate the resident and non-resident populations to provide a more complete indicator of demand for certain services. The Surat Basin – at a glance Estimates within this report are primarily derived from the The Surat Basin (Figure 1) is a major energy province, annual Survey of Accommodation Providers conducted by the based on coal seam gas production, coal mining and Queensland Government Statistician’s Office (QGSO).

In many cases, the projects listed in the Asset Management Plan have been selected from a large number of future scenarios and are the result of preliminary investigations. As well as the need for future analysis to evaluate system and asset conditions and alternatives, there are processes described in the National Electricity Rules that need to be followed before projects can be approved. It is possible that projects listed here may change in scope or timing, be replaced by other projects or deemed unnecessary. Business decisions and actions should not be made solely on the basis of information contained here. The Asset Management Plan does not replace any current business or approval processes. Risk costs continue to be enhanced and at this stage should not be used to solely prioritise projects or prioritise projects between asset classes as currently not all risks have been modelled which leads to some risk costs being understated. Similarly some asset risks are based on desktop analysis at an asset fleet level rather than based on individual asset condition, depending on the timing of the anticipated investment need.
