In preparing this business case, the Regional Infrastructure Taskforce (RIT) assessed a number of proposals included in the RMIP that outlined the potential to meet forecast demand from existing and proposed bulk commodity iron ore projects in regional South Australia In particular, this business case considers opportunities for, and the impacts of, various infrastructure and port options that could support the following five iron ore projects in the Spencer Gulf region. • Central Eyre Iron Road Project (Iron Road) • Eyre Iron Joint Venture (Centrex Fusion) • Hawsons Iron Project (Carpentaria) • Royal Lodestone (Braemar/Royal) • Kimba Gap (Centrex Kimba Gap). RIT examined factors that have influenced these proposals and the feasibility of their introduction. For example, South Australia’s iron ore projects, along with others across Australia and the world, currently face investment attraction challenges because of the price outlook for iron ore on the global market, iron ore benchmark pricing and related issues such as infrastructure planning and construction timeframes. Since the RMIP’s release, the international spot price of many commodities, including iron ore, has declined significantly, for reasons including increasing global iron ore supply and changes to China’s steel production. By September 2015, the price of iron ore had dropped to well below that identified in the RMIP’s ‘low growth scenario’ and this has challenged the prospectivity of the mining projects it considered, as well as planning for any supporting infrastructure. The RIT is developing a South Australian Iron Ore Strategy, partnering with industry to promote the development of iron ore magnetite resource projects and quality product to global steelmaking markets, and position the state as a preferred supplier. The strategy will include investigating the establishment of a Magnetite Centre of Excellence in South Australia for research and development, that will focus on innovation and improvements in extraction and processing of magnetite for global steelmaking consumption. Business case In this business case, each port option is considered a ‘greenfields’ development where there is no existing port facility or a ‘brownfields’ development where an existing port facility could be upgraded to accommodate increased demand. The potential for each proposal is also examined in terms of its capacity for shared use. The business case recognises the significant economic benefits that emerge for local communities when mines and associated infrastructure are built and operate in a particular region. The overall impact will be proportional to the size of a project or projects. For example, the Iron Road Central Eyre Iron Project would be expected to have the biggest economic impact on the Eyre Peninsula, while the Braemer/Royal Resources project would have the largest effect in the Yorke and Mid North (Braemar) regions. As noted in the RMIP, viable bulk commodity port solutions will allow for access by multiple users. For the greenfields port options, and for any development of brownfields ports, including Port Pirie, a competitive multi-user access framework could be developed under existing legislative mechanisms. However, for the existing Whyalla port, which is subject to indenture legislation, a different approach would be needed to introduce third-party access. The business case research assessed 10 options for ports on Spencer Gulf that could support future demand for iron ore bulk mineral exports. Table 1 (page 4) provides a summary of the findings and the criteria used to assess these options. Importantly, no single port was identified as capable of servicing all the potential bulk commodity mining developments in South Australia. 2 BUSINESS CASE: SOLUTIONS TO BULK MINERAL EXPORT INFRASTRUCTURE ON SPENCER GULF Port proposals The following port locations were identified as the most likely to meet potential future demand for bulk minerals exports from the Spencer Gulf region (as at September 2015): • the existing Whyalla port, in the northern Spencer Gulf, owned by One Steel Manufacturing Pty Ltd (part of the Arrium Limited Group) • the planned Cape Hardy port on central eastern Eyre Peninsula, proposed by Iron Road Limited • the planned Myponie Point facility on northern Yorke Peninsula, proposed by Braemar Infrastructure Pty Ltd. A number of other existing and proposed ports, including smaller volume operations, could be developed to support bulk commodities exports and local supply chain requirements when market conditions improve. These include the facility at Port Pirie and the proposed port at Port Bonython. The Whyalla port – which is owned by Arrium Limited and currently has excess available capacity and the potential for expansion – could provide an opportunity for the export of iron ore from developing projects in the regions, both on the western and eastern sides of Spencer Gulf. The RIT notes that the ongoing economic status of, and investment in, a mining project is the single most critical issue that would be considered by potential investors in associated infrastructure. It is unlikely that port infrastructure itself, without confirmed demand from a mining operation, will drive project investment and development. Government’s role in supporting port development The infrastructure investment market has informed the RIT that it would welcome government support options to accelerate greenfields and brownfields port developments. Non-financial and financial government support options could be available for eligible proposals that meet criteria based on: • commercial viability for life of mine • confirmed project funding with a strategic partner • customer off-take agreement for mine products • preferred port location for export of product • timing for development (feasibility/approvals/construction) • aggregation options for projects. The RIT’s analysis and the current state of the iron ore commodity cycle suggest that government’s role in supporting the development of viable port infrastructure should be to ensure that a project’s planning and regulatory issues are resolved so it can proceed quickly when market conditions are favourable. For example, RIT’s engagement with industry suggests that mine proponents and potential infrastructure investors would welcome integrated planning and infrastructure policy that allowed for the coordinated development of economic infrastructure corridors. Government might also consider financial support or incentives, on a case-by-case basis, to help proponents reduce their risk and attract investment.

  • 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.

  • 17 May 2012 One Thousand Export Cargoes from Port Bonython Today
    Media enquiries Chandran Vigneswaran +61 8 8116 5856 / +61 (0) 467 775 055 [email protected] 17 May 2012 One thousand export cargoes from Port Bonython Today marked the 1,000th export cargo from Santos’ Port Bonython liquids processing plant near Whyalla in South Australia. Santos celebrated the milestone with the presentation of a commemorative plaque to the captain of the Tandara Spirit, currently taking on a cargo of crude oil. Port Bonython – named in honour of Santos’ founding Chairman, John Bonython AO – issued its first shipment in 1983. Since then, more than 40 million tonnes of product including crude oil, LPG and naphtha have been exported from the plant. Cargoes have gone to all Australian domestic refineries, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, Hawaii, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Japan, India, Taiwan, South Korea and China. Gross revenue generated by Port Bonython totals over $14 billion and total gross wharfage paid to the South Australian Government exceeds $70 million. “We’re very pleased to celebrate this significant milestone,” said Lou Dello, Santos’ General Manager Oil & Offshore Business. “Port Bonython has long been an important part of Santos’ business, processing liquids from the Cooper Basin in South Australia’s remote north and shipping them right across the country and the Asia-Pacific. “It’s a testament to the vision of the company at the time, and the ongoing commitment of our employees, that Port Bonython remains a thriving business today.” Santos is the operator of Port Bonython and a 66.6% shareholder, with partners Delhi holding 20.2% and Origin 13.2%.

  • PORT BONYTHON REZONING (Paul Holloway)- NOTED
    11/12/2006 INot Relevan~ 626 PORT BONYTHON REZONING (Paul Holloway)- NOTED INot Relevan~ 5 Minister for Police Minister for Mineral Resources Development Minister for Urban Developm~nt and Planning CABINET NOTE CN MUDP 06/025 TO: THE PREMIER FOR CABINET TO NOTE RE: PORT BONYTHON REZONING 1. PROPOSAL That Cabinet note the intention to review the current zoning of land at Port Bonython. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 Mining is an important contributor to State economic performance, materially contributing to South Australia's Strategic Plan target of trebling the value of export income to $25 billion by 2013. The Strategic Infrastructure Plan for South Australia in the Upper Spencer Gulf and Outback includes several projects that would support expanded mining activity. 2.2 Current Port Bonython zoning is Special Industry (Hydrocarbons) and Deferred Industry (Petrochemical). Developing supportive land use zoning over Port Bonython for deep-water port development sends a message to the mining sector that commodities like iron ore can be cost effectively produced for export from the State. However, at this time, there are no known mineral deposits that, on current development plans, can justify the cost of constructing this infrastructure. 2.3 Port Bonython, if it were to be developed for bulk loading, would accommodate vessels requiring some 17 metres draft immediately adjacent the current Tanker berth. However, further to the west of the tanker berth, where the depths are much less, the draft would be subject to dredging of the berth box, tides and hydro graphic surveys. The water depth achievable at Port Bonython compares favourably with the newly dredged Outer Harbor that accommodates vessels requiring up to 14.2 metres draft.
