  • Whyalla and Eyre Peninsula
    SOUTH AUSTRALIAN CENTRE FOR ECONOMIC STUDIES ADELAIDE & FLINDERS UNIVERSITIES Regional Development Australia Whyalla and Eyre Peninsula Overview Geography RDA Whyalla and Eyre Peninsula covers an area of 170,500 square kilometres or 17.3 per cent of the State’s land mass. Population As at 30th June 2010 the region’s population was 58,700 persons or 3.6 per cent of the State’s population. The Indigenous population was estimated at 2,500 persons or 4.4 per cent of the region’s population. Economy and Labour force The region contributed $2,297 million to the State economy in 2006/07 or 3.4 per cent of gross state product. The four largest employing industries in the Whyalla Eyre Peninsula region were agriculture and fisheries (18.2 per cent), retail trade (14.3 per cent), manufacturing (11.9 per cent) and health and community services (10.9 per cent). Mining was relatively small at 1.4 per cent but is likely to show strong growth in the median term. The labour market is relatively strong with a participation rate above the State average and lower unemployment than the State average. Participation in VET courses is well above that for the State as a whole, while full-time participation in secondary school at age 16 is 71.4 per cent compared to South Australia at 78.4 per cent. NAPLAN reading results at year 3 are 15 percentage points lower than the State average but by year 7 they are 4.5 percentage points below the State average which indicates stronger school attendance over primary years of schooling.
