Boddington Report SHIRE OF BODDINGTON SUB-REGIONAL ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS Shire of Boddington Sub-regional Economic Opportunity Analysis Executive Summary The Peel Regional Investment Framework sets out the vision, objectives and strategies for the Peel region to 2050. Identified within the Framework is the need for sub-regional economic analysis to aid sub-regions of the Peel to engage in innovation, economic diversification and to continue to meet the needs of a growing population. This report provides sub-regional data and preliminary economic opportunity analysis for the Shire of Boddington to aid in identifying specific opportunities for development in this locality and potential related projects across the region. Key Findings • Population & Demographics: While Boddington’s population has grown by roughly 28% over the last decade, resident numbers have been in decline since 2012. Boddington has a younger population compared to the wider region, with a median age of 39 (two years younger than the Peel average) and a higher instance of young families. By current growth rates Boddington’s population will increase by 25% in 2031, exceeding WAPC population projections. • Employment & Labour Force: Boddington is characterised by very low unemployment and healthy labour force participation. 80% of Boddington residents are employed within the Shire, this is partly attributable to a large percentage of Boddington residents being employed in the mining industry. The Mining and Construction industries provide 70% of all available jobs in the LGA, attracting residents of other localities to work in Boddington. A very high self-containment rate in Health Care implies there is a skills mismatch between the residents’ skills and available employment in this industry in the Shire. • Industry & Land Use: Mining provided 85% of Boddington’s $2.1B gross revenue. Based on growth, local employment contribution and backwards linkages, Mining, Agriculture, Manufacturing and Construction Services were identified as key industries for Boddington that, if expanded, could help deliver broad based economic benefits for the Shire. All key industries in Boddington, with the exception of Accommodation and Food Service, have seen a faster growth rate in comparison to the Peel region. Ample land for Residential and Industrial expansion has been demarcated by the Shire. • Economic Opportunities & Diversification: Brief synthesis of Boddington’s economic, environmental and social factors indicates that the Shire could be primed for industrial-focused growth. The abundance of industrial land and presence of active extractive operations provide the opportunity to support and grow engineering, fabrication or other support activity ventures that can provide specialised services to the mining and agricultural industries both within and, eventually, outside of Boddington. Investment and/or endorsement of Enterprise Facilitation to help identify and form mutually beneficial links between stakeholders and firms should be considered by the Shire and operating extractive industries as a Corporate Social Responsibility activity. Furthermore, the proximity to Perth, natural assets and ongoing trail planning and development indicate tourism potential for the Shire.

Boddington Population Growth (ABS, 2019) Boddington’s total population has grown by 28.4% from 2006 to 2018 but experienced a decline from its peak in 2011 (ABS, 2019). Population growth was most likely due to the re-opening of the Newmont Boddington Gold mine and the expansion of the Worsley Alumina bauxite mine before 2012. Mine expansion completion is the most likely explanation for recent population decline. Boddington’s population has grown at an average of 2.9% per year from 2006-2016. However, in 2011- 2016 the average growth rate was -3.7%, reflecting the declining population (ABS, 2016a). As of 2016 the largest age cohort in Boddington was 45-54 years of age. Figure 2 (below) outlines the significant reduction in persons aged 25-44 years of age experienced between 2011 and 2016, as outlined above, this is most likely due to the mine expansion completion and reduction in working aged residents. 15-24-year-olds make up only 7.8% of Boddington’s population – the same cohort accounts for 11.3% of the Peel region’s population.

Boddington Age Distribution (ABS, 2016a) In total there are 977 males and 866 females in Boddington, making up 53% and 47% of the population respectively, the slightly uneven split in gender is likely due to the prevalence of males employed in mining. Boddington Gender Distribution 2016 85 years and over 75-84 years 65-74 years 55-64 years 45-54 years 35-44 years Age Bracket 25-34 years 15-24 years 5-14 years 0-4 years 175 125 75 25 25 75 125 175 Females Males Number of People Figure 3. Gender Distribution 2016 (ABS, 2016a) At 2016 Boddington had a distinctly younger population compared to the wider Peel region, evidenced by figures 3 and 4 below. Proportionally, Boddington has 3% more children aged 0-14 years, and between 1-3.5% more adults in cohorts between the ages of 25 and 64 years of age. Peel, however, has significantly more (3.5%) young adults compared to Boddington. This indicates that more young families live in Boddington compared to Peel, potentially mine workers with their families. However, Page 4 of 26 limited education options post lower secondary school has a negative effect on retaining those families as their children become young adults.

Age Breakdown (%) (ABS, 2016) Median age in Boddington has consistently remained 2-3 years lower than the Peel region’s over the 10-year period from 2006 to 2016. The median age changes over the ten-year period ostensibly indicate that neither Peel nor Boddington are experiencing notable ageing of the population. Median Age 2006-2016

  • A Case Study of Newmont Boddington Gold Mine in Western Australia
    Mine Closure 2012 — A.B. Fourie and M. Tibbett (eds) © 2012 Australian Centre for Geomechanics, Perth, ISBN 978-0-9870937-0-7 doi:10.36487/ACG_rep/1208_24_Amoah Long term closure planning for an evolving mine site – a case study of Newmont Boddington Gold Mine in Western Australia K. De Sousa Newmont Asia Pacific, Australia N. Amoah Newmont Asia Pacific, Australia Abstract Newmont Boddington Gold (NBG) mine is located 12 km northwest of the town of Boddington and about 120 km southeast of Perth in Western Australia (WA). Open pit mining of an oxide gold resource commenced at the operations in 1987. In 2008, NBG undertook an expansion program to increase future gold production to one million ounces per annum, potentially becoming the largest gold mine in Australia. Critical to the life cycle of such a large mining operation is the need to ensure that mine closure is well planned in advance and consistently managed throughout operation to minimise future liabilities. For example, the large quantities of waste (waste rock estimated to be over one billion tonnes over the life of the mine), vast open pits and areas for tailings storage and site operational facilities, geographically and ecologically sensitive location and socio-economic issues will all become significant legacy factors during mine closure and post closure stages. To mitigate closure liabilities, Newmont’s internal guidelines have strict requirements for the development and review of closure plans at all stages of mine life with annual analyses of closure liability costs. This is to ensure consistency with life of mine (LOM) plans, changes in operations, stakeholder expectations, regulatory requirements etc.

The proposal envisages substantial extension of basement ore mining, the mining of minor oxide ore deposits outside the existing mining area, the construction of an additional residue disposal area, an increase in ore processing and the release of excess water to the Hotham River and Thirty-Four Mile Brook. It is the EPA's opinion that the following are the environmental factors relevant to the proposal: a) declared rare flora, priority flora and vegetation communities; b) threatened fauna, specially protected fauna and priority fauna; c) water resource quality; d) water resource quantity; e) gaseous emissions including greenhouse gases and odours; f) System 6 recommendation area C42 (Duncan MPA); g) landform; and h) mechanisms for environmental management. The EPA is of the view that the proposal should be subject to the environmental conditions which cunently apply to the existing gold mine except where the following recommendations or procedures supersede those conditions.

  • Decoding Mafic Dykes in Southern Yilgarn and East Antarctica: Implications for the Supercontinent Cycle
    Faculty of Science and Engineering School of Earth and Planetary Sciences Decoding Mafic Dykes in Southern Yilgarn and East Antarctica: Implications for the Supercontinent Cycle Jutta Camilla Stark This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University November 2018 DECLARATION To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university.

Mafic dykes also provide important targets for paleomagnetic studies and act as barcodes in paleogeographic reconstructions. Their utility is often hampered by the lack of high precision geochronology because dating mafic rocks can be difficult due to their mineralogy. This PhD study applies a two-step U-Pb geochronology technique to date suboptimal samples and presents the discoveries of three previously unknown mafic dykes swarms in southwestern Yilgarn Craton and the first U-Pb age for a mafic dyke swarm at Bunger Hills in East Antarctica.
