    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY - Thursday, 18 November 2010] p9163b-9165a Mr Colin Barnett IRON ORE AGREEMENTS LEGISLATION AMENDMENT BILL (NO. 2) 2010 Introduction and First Reading Bill introduced, on motion by Mr C.J. Barnett (Minister for State Development), and read a first time. Explanatory memorandum presented by the minister. Second Reading MR C.J. BARNETT (Cottesloe — Minister for State Development) [11.10 am]: I move — That the bill be now read a second time. The purpose of this bill is to authorise 11 variation agreements to amend the iron ore state agreements held by BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, and their various joint venture partners, in order to enable the integration of infrastructure between these agreements. BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto are two of the most significant contributors to the state’s economy, directly employing over 17 000 people and contributing over $29 billion to the economy each year. Their combined royalty contribution to the state is expected to reach $1.5 billion this year, which is equal to 45 per cent of the state’s total royalties income. The main purpose of these amendments is to give the companies the flexibility to improve their efficiency and facilitate expansions of their operation, with further flow-on benefits for the people of Western Australia. By way of background, on 5 June 2009 BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto signed a core principles agreement to establish a production joint venture covering the entirety of both companies’ Western Australian iron ore assets. This resulted in the companies signing definitive agreements on 5 December 2009.

  • Coastal Sediment Cells for the Mid-West Coast
    Department of Transport Coastal Sediment Cells for the Mid-West Coast Between the Moore River and Glenfield Beach, Western Australia Report Number: M 2014 07001 Version: 0 Date: September 2014 Recommended citation Stul T, Gozzard JR, Eliot IG and Eliot MJ (2014) Coastal Sediment Cells for the Mid-West Region between the Moore River and Glenfield Beach, Western Australia. Report prepared by Seashore Engineering Pty Ltd and Geological Survey of Western Australia for the Western Australian Department of Transport, Fremantle. The custodian of the digital dataset is the Department of Transport. Photographs used are from WACoast30. The Department of Transport acknowledges Bob Gozzard from Geological Survey of Western Australia for providing the images. Geological Survey of S e a s h o r e E n g i n e e r i n g Western Australia 2 Executive summary The aim of this report is to identify a hierarchy of sediment cells to assist planning, management, engineering, science and governance of the Mid-West coast. Sediment cells are spatially discrete areas of the coast within which marine and terrestrial landforms are likely to be connected through processes of sediment exchange, often described using sediment budgets. They include areas of sediment supply (sources), sediment loss (sinks), and the sediment transport processes linking them (pathways). Sediment transport pathways include both alongshore and cross-shore processes, and therefore cells are best represented in two-dimensions. They are natural management units with a physical basis and commonly cross jurisdictional boundaries. Sediment cells provide a summary of coastal data in a simple format and can be used to: 1.

  • Please Read Before Viewing
    Please Read Before Viewing The following document is the full draft version of the Dongara-Geraldton-Northampton Corridor Alignment Selection Report, written for the purpose of identifying a preferred investigation corridor for further planning activities, including community consultation. The report has not been altered in any way since its provision to the Minister for Transport in September 2020, and no sections of it have been omitted in this presentation. Alignment Selection work is normally assessed through desktop assessments, which provide a reasonable understanding of the constraints, issues and opportunities. The desktop work is used to progress stakeholder discussions to test the validity of shortlisted options, leading to landholder and community input. This community and landholder input is a critical step in the process to fill a number of gaps with regard to constraints/issues and assessment of the options. Only after consultation has been incorporated into the planning process can alignment selection be finalised, allowing for more detailed planning (including site investigations). The report was written on the information available at the time of writing. Main Roads’ current engagement activities have already revealed a number of further constraints and opportunities that require further investigation, which may influence the alignment of the final recommended corridor. Feedback on the report can be directed to: [email protected] HP Records Manager No. Date Published Alignment Selection Report – Dongara

  • Mineral Resources of Western
    MINERAL RESOURCES OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA DEPARTMENT OF MINES PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA 1980 Issued under the authority of the Hon. P. V. Jones, M.L.A. Minister for Mines 89686-1 Since the publication of the last issue of this booklet in 1966 a major expansion of mineral production in Western Australia has been achieved. Deposits of iron, nickel, natural gas, bauxite, heavy mineral sands, uranium and diamond are now being worked or are known to be commercial. Over the period 1966 to 1971, following the initial discovery of nickel sulphide at Kambalda, a speculative boom in base metal exploration developed that could only be likened to the gold rush days around the turn of the century. Although not all of the exploration activity in this period was well directed, many new discoveries were made as a result of the ready availability of risk capital. In the wake of the boom it is mainly the true prospectors that remain-the individual, to whom the still sparsely populated areas of the State hold an irresistible appeal and the chance of rich bonanza, and the established and dedicated mining companies for whom exploration is a necessary and vital part of the minerals industry. 1 am confident that the persistence of these prospectors will be rewarded with yet further discoveries of economic mineral deposits. Western Australia, with an area of over 2.5 million square kilometres, has a wide diversity of rocks representing all geological periods, and vast areas have been incompletely prospected. This booklet presents an up to date account of the minerals that are, or have been, economically exploited in Western Australia.

  • SUBMISSION to the JOINT STANDING COMMITTEE on NORTHERN AUSTRALIA Background I Have Been the CEO of Yinhawangka AC RNTBC Since November 2019
    SUBMISSION TO THE JOINT STANDING COMMITTEE ON NORTHERN AUSTRALIA Background I have been the CEO of Yinhawangka AC RNTBC since November 2019. I am new to this role but a key part of the responsibilities of the RNTBC is to protect, as best we can, Yinhawangka country. I have attained a reasonable, if incomplete, knowledge of the mechanisms for protecting important Yinhawangka places available to us. The Yinhawangka country stretches, roughly, from the Beasley River in the west to the Great Northern Highway in the East, Karijini National Park in the north to just touch on the Ashburton River in the South. Paraburdoo is the only Town, there are small aboriginal communities – Bellary Springs, and Wakuthuni, and some of the world’s important iron ore mines. The only producer here is Rio Tinto, but the other two big Australian producers are actively exploring, and there are many smaller explorers. This geological formation is known as the Hamersley Group. Figure 1A map showing the Yinhawangka country and some neighbouring areas. The Yinhawangka lands include the southernmost part of the Hamersley Range, which contain some of the greatest deposits of iron ore in the world. This area is also known as the Hamersley Sub-Region of the Pilbara Bioregion. It is a truly magnificent part of Australia. A large part of it, perhaps 25%, is already covered by mining leases, and it is considered ‘underrepresented’ in the National Reserve System. There are threatened species here, like the ghost bat, the northern quoll and the Pilbara olive python, and many plants, which might only exist on one range or another.
