(For the purposes of this study, it is taken that the sealing of the last remaining unsealed section from Alice Springs to Yuendumu is already committed.) o The upgrading will benefit activity along the road including: = Major mining operations with an output value when current expansion is completed of close to $1 billion per annum. = Substantial indigenous communities. = Tourism and pastoral industries. o The main benefit of the upgrading will be the opening up of a much shorter route with savings of up to 1,100km between the Kimberley region and the Red Centre/Alice Springs area. = This will result in major savings for tourism and inter-regional inbound freight movements. = It will also have significant benefits for the cattle industry and for transport of horticulture produce from the Ord to southern markets. o Apart from “direct” savings of operating costs and travel times, upgrading of the road will have significant “wider economic benefits” including: = Secondary efficiency savings as a result of less road closures and other factors for the large mining operations along the road. = “Regeneration” effects of creating employment in indigenous communities along the road and saving substantial income and other support expenditure in indigenous communities. o There will be defence ramifications in providing a more direct interior route to support operations in Australia‟s north west, especially in light of current concerns to strengthen defence presence in relation to the large offshore gas developments in this area. o The Kimberley area is poised to record strong growth of mining activity over the coming decades, increased agricultural production and tourism, with likely steady growth in population and employment. o The capital cost of the road upgrading to the standard envisaged is estimated (based on State

  • 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.
