    1. Gina Rinehart $14.02billion from Resources Chairman – Hancock Prospecting Residence: Perth Wealth last year: $20.01b Rank last year: 1 A plunging iron ore price has made a big dent in Gina Rinehart’s wealth. But so vast are her mining assets that Rinehart, chairman of Hancock Prospecting, maintains her position as Australia’s richest person in 2015. Work is continuing on her $10billion Roy Hill project in Western Australia, although it has been hit by doubts over its short-term viability given falling commodity prices and safety issues. Rinehart is pressing ahead and expects the first shipment late in 2015. Most of her wealth comes from huge royalty cheques from Rio Tinto, which mines vast swaths of tenements pegged by Rinehart’s late father, Lang Hancock, in the 1950s and 1960s. Rinehart's wealth has been subject to a long running family dispute with a court ruling in May that eldest daughter Bianca should become head of the $5b family trust. 2. Anthony Pratt & Family $10.76billion from manufacturing and investment Executive Chairman – Visy Residence: Melbourne Wealth last year: $7.6billion Rank last year: 2 Anthony Pratt’s bet on a recovering United States economy is paying off. The value of his US-based Pratt Industries has surged this year thanks to an improving manufacturing sector and a lower Australian dollar. Pratt is also executive chairman of box maker and recycling business Visy, based in Melbourne. Visy is Australia’s largest private company by revenue and the biggest Australian-owned employer in the US. Pratt inherited the Visy leadership from his late father Richard in 2009, though the firm’s ownership is shared with sisters Heloise Waislitz and Fiona Geminder.

  • P5328b-5329A Mr Tony O'gorman; Mrs Michelle Roberts
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY - Tuesday, 29 August 2006] p5328b-5329a Mr Tony O'Gorman; Mrs Michelle Roberts ENTERTAINMENT AND SPORTS VENUE 549. Mr A.P. O’GORMAN to the Minister for Housing and Works: Can the minister advise of the Carpenter government’s plans to ensure that Western Australia has an entertainment and sports venue that will attract world-class events? Mrs M.H. ROBERTS replied: I thank the member for Joondalup for the question. On Sunday the Premier and I announced the new name, Perth Arena, and the final design for Western Australia’s new state-of-the-art indoor sport and entertainment venue. The $250 million indoor arena has been improved. It will now include 40 suites, with a total of more than 500 corporate seats. There will be additional break-out spaces, including an up-market club lounge. The capacity and flexibility of the roof structure has also been increased to provide for additional rigging equipment and lighting and to allow bigger and more ambitious events to be held. The acoustic treatments are also being enhanced. Significantly, these enhancements will provide an opportunity for increased revenue for the arena, which will ensure that it remains viable in the long term. The government has also committed to a 680-bay car park at a cost of $70 million over the railway behind the arena. Apart from providing much-needed parking in the area, it will also provide a very good pedestrian link with Northbridge. In fact, Perth Arena patrons and others will be able to step onto an escalator, walk through a modern arcade and emerge in Roe Street, Northbridge.

  • From the COO
    Front cover copy to go here front cover copy to go here Date to go here From The COO As always, it has been a busy end to the year with lots of basketball activity taking place. The Smarter than Smoking BWA State Championships have seen almost 200 teams play over the first two weekends of the tournament, with games having to be played at Loftus Recreation Centre both weekends to cater for the demand. Well done to all of the teams participating and to the hard working volunteers at Associations and the staff at Basketball WA to organise a tournament of this size. Good luck to the teams participating in the last weekend. After hosting a game in Alice Springs and being on the road for two weeks, the West Coast Waves have two more home games this year on Friday 12 December against Dandenong and Saturday 20 December against Canberra. We would love to see as many people as possible at the WABC to help the team pick up a couple of wins heading into the Christmas & New Year break. Since our last newsletter we have also held our Smarter than Smoking Champions Cup program with the winning schools from all of our Association Cups participating at the WABC to find the top boys, girls and mixed teams from our popular schools program. Basketball WA is also holding three development camps in January with a Shooting Camp, Complete Player Camp and a Basketball Strength & Conditioning Camp. Further information on those camps is on the Basketball WA website. Lastly congratulations to our High Performance Manager Brett Coxsedge and partner Bronwyn on the birth of their second daughter Zara Clare.
