  • Submission Number: 203 Date Received: 14/03/14
    Submission Number: 203 Date received: 14/03/14 Joint Select Senate Committee for Northern Australia I am Dr. Roger Higgins, a dentist in private practice in Pt. Hedland. I have lived and worked to the north of the Tropic of Capricorn since late 1999 and know how difficult it is to attract and retain long term good quality, well trained health professionals who are capable of providing comprehensive all round treatment. I moved from Darwin to Pt. Hedland in May 2012 and established from scratch a large well equipped dental practice because there was no similarly equipped practice here. I make this submission to you because I have a desire to see the permanent population here grow so that over time the benefits of larger societies can become incorporated into the life of a growing, dynamic successful community. It is to this end I seek to make a small contribution to this Select Committee. Please understand that I do not make these suggestions for purely selfish reasons. I have in fact moved from a bigger community into a much smaller one, rather than retire, because I saw that I had well developed skills that did not exist in Pt. Hedland. The North West is desperately under populated. We need in place mechanisms that will encourage people to relocate to this area so that they become permanent residents. The continued expansion of the Fly in Fly out (FIFO) population contributes very little to the communities where these workers are employed and benefits disproportionally the communities in which they reside. FIFO needs to be discouraged.

  • Completion of Transport Study for the Mackay Project
    Agrimin Limited | ABN 15 122 162 396 ASX Code: AMN Level 7, BGC Centre, 28 The Esplanade Perth, Western Australia 6000 ASX Release T: +61 8 9421 2107 | F: +61 8 9421 2100 18 March 2015 E: [email protected] | W: www.agrimin.com.au COMPLETION OF TRANSPORT STUDY FOR THE MACKAY PROJECT Highlights Transport Study confirms that existing infrastructure along a number of routes is capable of transporting bulk material from the Mackay Sulphate of Potash (“SOP”) Project to various ports. Two preferred routes have been identified: 1) Mackay to Darwin via Alice Springs; and 2) Mackay to Wyndham via Halls Creek. Total transport costs are estimated to be $141/t and $148/t FOB NW Australia for the preferred routes, respectively. Agrimin Limited (ASX: AMN) (“Agrimin” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of a Transport Study for the Mackay SOP Project. The study concludes that a number of routes are capable of transporting commercial scale quantities of SOP by using existing infrastructure. The total estimated transport costs for the two preferred routes range from $141/t to $148/t FOB NW Australia, with ± 15% level of accuracy. These estimates include all the applicable overland transport cost components, including road, rail, handling and port charges. The risk assessment indicates a low to medium level of risk is present on each route. This independent Transport Study is a critical de-risking activity given that transport costs will comprise a large portion of overall operating costs for the Mackay Project. The study provides further confidence that the Project can have an overall cost in the bottom half of the industry operating cost curve and generate attractive margins.

  • 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.
