  • Joint Select Committee on Northern Australia Development- Inquiry
    Submission Number: 59 Date Received: 17/02/2014 Joint Select Committee on Northern Australia Development- Inquiry Outback Way Submission OUTBACK WAY = OPENS NORTHERN AUSTRALIA & CLOSES THE GAP A Summary The Outback Way is included in the Coalition’s Northern Australia Policy which is highlighting a significant vision for Australia’s future. The Outback Way project is not just a road- keeping it open for business addresses some critical policy areas - productivity for a consolidating mining/freight sector, diversifies market access for the cattle industry, indigenous access & equity, and a new adventure self-drive tourism route. With the $66million being spent on the Outback Way from 2014-15- 2016/17, for both upgrading and sealing there will be significant improvements in all sectors throughout, feeding into the development of Northern Australia. MINING The reduced distance between WA & Qld due to the Outback Way will facilitate: Inter linkages between the nation’s two largest mining areas in Queensland and in Western Australia, accounting for over 73% of Australia’s output, saving companies $1million/ shift for emergency equipment replacement and $16,000/mining movement one way. Further infrastructure development is being worked on for West Musgrave mining interests and Metals Ex Wingellina project, as they look to start production - which will add value to the Adelaide to Darwin railway- increasing mining exports out of Darwin. CATTLE INDUSTRY The Outback Way is a critical route for road trains- last year we saw significant cattle movements along the Plenty Highway and Donohue Highway into Qld due to dry conditions and producers adjusting to a decline in live export.
