CARRIED 30 March 2016 Page 1 5th Meeting - Minutes 4.0 BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES Action Items – 25 November 2015 [refer agenda item 6.3]. 5.0 PRESENTATIONS 5.1 Dion Dorward, CEO Regional Development Australia Whyalla and Eyre Peninsula: Regional update. Dion Dorward spoke on the following items of interest: Whyalla, Arrium and contraction in the mining industry: - Upper Spencer Gulf Taskforce to address the loss of jobs, being in excess of 6,000 in the last 2 years. - Various activities to address loss of employment, businesses [contractors]. - Investment properties would rue this action. - Impact on families/banking transactions/businesses. - Arrium – unclear at this stage of the outcome of the future of the company. - Ongoing talks have been undertaken with government regarding assistance for Arrium. - The focus should be on reduction of input costs – power, water, payroll tax, etc and to drive demand for Australian steel and capability. - Investment in the rail from Tarcoola to Adelaide will employ people and create wealth. - High percentage of employment relies on the heavy industry/manufacturing/mining sectors. - Provision of mining services to the rest of the State – future projects are at risk due to the services no longer being available. - Planning projects for the future, such as energy, fuel, mining – essential to upgrade current infrastructure. - Infrastructure requirements and mining in South Australia - Infrastructure Australia released its 15 year plan, listing 3 major projects. The Gawler Craton rail was included however where will it connect to/which port was not specified. - Adelaide to Melbourne line upgrade – utilisation of Australian steel. - Increase mineral port capacity in South Australia – inclusion of the Port of Whyalla, Point Lowly and Cape Hardy are recommended. - A report completed by the Adelaide University [sponsored by the State Government, major stakeholders such as Santos, BP, etc] focuses on the sensitive eco systems within the Spencer Gulf and anything north of Arno Bay is a key area of concern. - The proposed Braemar Region Project has slurry being piped from Broken Hill and out into sea in the Spencer Gulf. Emerald Grain/Cape Hardy: - Emerald Grain recently announced their agreement to transport their grain through Cape Hardy if the development of the port proceeds. - Background of this initiative provided, along with the savings associated with establishing a port at Cape Hardy, including bulk handling and storage. - Impact on the roads in the region associated with the development of the port was highlighted. - Feasibility of an upgrade of the rail gauge and connection to Whyalla. - This initiative was discussed at a meeting with Infrastructure Australia regarding projects, during which it was raised that Cape Hardy should be connected to the National grid, which would entail a 2 year process, including planning, surveying, etc. - Having access to sufficient port facilities would assist Arrium and the Cultana Defence Training Facility. The Port of Whyalla is too narrow, unless barging is utilised however ships would be in demurrage and therefore the barging system would not be efficient or cost benefit. Dion Dorward highlighted that the closure of the Alinta power station has also affected employment/business in Whyalla, and Vince Duffy confirmed that 440 staff were laid off and an addition 160 in terms of supply chain numbers. Chair Rob Kerin added that because of the loss of the base load, businesses are now nervous, including Whyalla, eg Thomas International and the imminent increase in power costs will also be a major impact. Off-grid solutions were discussed, such as utilisation of the gas pipeline however these alternatives were not cost effective due to the need for costly conversions/infrastructure and storage capacity. Dion Dorward reported that the next steps to progressing the establishment of a port at Cape Hardy is to sell the business case study to/lobby the State and Federal Governments. 30 March 2016 Page 2 5th Meeting - Minutes Dion Dorward spoke on operating costs – barging costs/tug fleets in Whyalla compared to establishment of a port at Cape Hardy. Bruce Green stated that as the taskforce is under the umbrella of the EPLGA, the protocol for political lobbying would be for the EPLGA to undertake that role. Members resolved that the EPLGA be approached to write a letter to the Federal and State Governments, highlighting the importance of investing in and enabling infrastructure in the State. 5.2 Tim Scholz, Principle Advisor, Stakeholder Engagement, Iron Road Limited: Update on the Central Eyre Iron project Tim Scholz informed members that John Murray, Chairman/Managing Director, Emerald Grain sends his apologies and aims to attend in the next meeting of the taskforce. The application was lodged by Iron Road approximately a week ago. Submissions have been sorted, with an outcome of 52 positive and 49 negative responses registered. Examination of the negative submissions indicated that there are 2 activist groups that presented large submissions, which were mainly focussed on the impact of the impending infrastructure, rail corridor, etc. No new issues aside from public consultation phase were raised within the submissions. A comprehensive and sensitive Response Document has been produced and forwarded to the government. It is expected that a decision will be announced by September/October 2016. Perception of people directly impacted. The issue of compensation to the community is contentious at this stage however no offers have been put to the community and will not be until the project receives approval. Tim Scholz spoke on the following on behalf of Emerald Grain: The current cost per tonne to transport grain is $79 and it costs the handler $12.65 per tonne to export the grain to Indonesia. Transport costs in Western Australia are $66 and Victoria $72 per tonne. The establishment of a port at Cape Hardy will create a $10-$14 per tonne saving for farmers. The region’s farmers have continually incorporated up to date cropping methods and systems since the 1960s however the transport system is stuck in the same time zone, which reflects on the competiveness of Australian grain. Outcomes from the Select Committee’s final report: - The only conclusion that can be made is that the market parameters in the SA grain industry do not provide the basis for a vigorous and competitive market place for SA growers. - The Select Committee has received evidence from many industry participants that a lack of competition in the South Australian market is holding back the realisation of benefits that can be generated in deregulation. Their experience is that they do not receive an efficient or economic service Overview of Emerald Grain. Grains Industry Shared strategic vision by John Murray, CEO, Emerald Grain: - Both industry and government should be responsible for formulating a plan to improve farm productivity so that grain growers can achieve a better return at the farm gate. There is a need for a strategic, long term plan to ensure growers remain viable - otherwise we don’t have an agricultural industry in the region. Map of cropping area on Eyre Peninsula, indicating the significant geographical advantages of the establishment of a port at Cape Hardy. Currently discussions are being held between Emerald Grain and Iron Road regarding engineering work – stage 1 and stage 2 and construction of a partnership. Indication at this stage is 1 million tonnes per annum, which will be ramped up, and segregation taken into account as the company understands the need for the facility at Cape Hardy to take every type of grain. 30 March 2016 Page 3 5th Meeting - Minutes 5.3 Vince Duffy, Executive Director Energy Markets & Programs, DSD/Chair, Upper Spencer Gulf and Outback Taskforce: Impact on Eyre Peninsula of Alinta Power Stations closures and Energy Markets. Background information: Involved in energy policies since 1999. Alinta Taskforce – 5 sub-committees established – power/employees/upper spencer gulf/mining. Last train of coal towards the end of April 2016. Removal of stockpile is a major issue.

  • 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.

  • The ISA Discussion Paper (DP) Identifies The
    The ISA Discussion Paper (DP) identifies the following four projects within the Eyre & Western Region as priorities ‐• 6‐Star $500m International Holiday Resort • Competitive Export Pathways for Primary Industries • Super School in Whyalla Education & Training Precinct • Energy Transmission and Generation on EP. This information is sourced (acknowledged) from the RDSA Infrastructure Priorities Report. The priorities require updating to reflect changes since the report was published and the report, within the context of this region and ISA’s objectives, requires a broader perspective. For instance RDAWEP has successfully supported and advocated for; the $100m Super School (due for completion in 2021) and has broadened the agenda to advocate for an integrated Education and Innovation Precinct (EIP) an $280m upgrade of the energy transmission network (Electranet due to commence construction in 2020) and is progressing various energy generation projects across the region – however the planned transmission upgrade will be at maximum capacity when completed and therefore requires greater capacity than is planned Competitive Export Pathways for Primary Industries which is a catch‐all for the ports of Thevenard, Port Lincoln, Lucky Bay, Whyalla, approved port at Cape Hardy together with bulk handling, storage and transport network efficiencies, including road & rail, for agriculture, mining and processing – this catch‐all represents many projects that drives efficiency, enhances global competitiveness and collectively exceeds $1bn, ranging from maintenance and enhancement of existing assets (i.e. dredging Thevenard) to building new Infrastructure (i.e. Cape Hardy Port and connection to national rail grid) Early high level master planning, identification of key stakeholders, location & land acquisition and potential partners for a multi experience International Resort.
