    Appendix 13 Executive Summary ‘The modern world is built on steel which has become essential to economic growth. In developing and developed nations alike, steel is an indispensable part of life … The future growth in demand for steel will be driven mainly by the needs of the developing world.’1 Note: 87% of all world metals consumed are iron and steel. Australia is rich in natural resources. Among the key resources in abundance are iron ore and thermal and coking coal; the key feedstock for steel. Queensland has an abundance of coal, while Western Australia has an abundance of iron ore. Australia has a small population with limited steel production, so these resources are shipped internationally to be used as inputs to steel production. Strong growth in raw steel production and consumption, driven by the rapid industrialisation of China and India in particular, is expected to continue. This will necessitate substantial investment in new global steelmaking capacity. Australia plays a significant leading role in the export steelmaking supply-chain as it has an estimated 40% of the world’s high grade seaborne iron ore and 65% of the world’s seaborne coking coal. Project Iron Boomerang was developed by East West Line Parks Pty Ltd (“EWLP”) to explore the economic feasibility of establishing first-stage steel mill semi-finished steel production in Australia, close to the major raw materials inputs. This Pre-Feasibility Study provides strong evidence that the construction of first-stage smelter precincts offers many cost effective consolidation and efficiency savings, and that a dedicated railroad with all supporting infrastructure is feasible and economically favourable for steelmakers.

Safer Workplace. www.cfmeu.com.au www.ourjobs.org.au VOL 81 NO. 1 FEBRUARY/ MARCH 2015 Reopening Norwich Park coal mine – from BHP secret internal briefing paper for BHP: “….. the success of the project will be dependent on being able to operate the mine efficiently while using labour that is paid significantly less than is currently the case at surrounding existing operations. A strong desire has been expressed that labour should be sourced from lower paying areas outside of Queensland (Adelaide, Melbourne for example).

  • Mining in Conflicted Lands
    Lessons learned from Case Studies of InternationalInternational Investment Financial in Extractive Flows and Land-use Industries and the Environment Best Practices for Transnational Investment in Extractive and Land Use Sectors School of International Service American University Foreword With the wave of globalization and the empowerment of civil societies around the world, foreign investment has become an increasingly important issue due to the inherent social and environmental impacts that foreign companies inflict upon the local communities in which they operate. The results of foreign investment are complicated: some investment improves local economic, environmental, and social conditions, while other investment leads to tensions between transnational companies and local communities. There are currently few broadly agreed-upon standards that guide how foreign companies should invest and behave in host countries in order to achieve not only business benefits, but also social responsibility and environmental sustainability. This portfolio of best and worst practices of foreign investment exhibits both positive and negative cases of foreign investment. This document is the cooperative product of the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the American University (AU) practicum team. IFFE’s Senior Associate, Mr. Hu Tao, and Research Analyst, Denise Leung, worked closely with the practicum team to develop the project. The AU practicum team consisted of professors Dr. Ken Conca and Dr. Judy Shapiro and eleven graduate students: Stephanie DaCosta, Kristin DeValue, Hilary Kirwan, Lauren Lane, John Noel, Sebastian O’Connor, Schuyler Olsson, Jen Richmond, Natnari Sihawong, Toussaint Webster, and Yuxi Zhao. In March 2013, the AU practicum team travelled to Beijing, China, to present their initial research and coordinate with a WRI partner research team from Beijing Normal University.

  • Community 16
    CR Tabs_Main:Layout 1 14/5/09 3:15 PM Page 16 Community 16 16 Community BMA is undertaking an extensive program of community consultation and stakeholder engagement, relating to the Caval Ridge Project. BMA’s community engagement process aims to: Identify community issues or concerns. Ensure BMA is responsive in mitigating against issues. Proactively work with stakeholders. Continue the long term relationship between BMA and the Bowen Basin community. The Caval Ridge Project community engagement process also considers the cumulative impacts of BMA’s operations, helping the community to understand the project specifically, as well as BMA’s broader growth plans. The community consultation process to date has engaged stakeholders at both a local and regional level, and provided project-specific information as well as information on the potential social, economic and environmental impacts, relating to the project. A regular program of consultation activities has helped ensure the community, employees and other stakeholders have had a number of opportunities to provide input and offer feedback. Key consultation activities included one-to-one discussions, information displays, hard copy and online information publications (such as fact sheets and newsletters), and consultation with service providers. Feedback from community engagement has informed mine planning and technical studies associated with the EIS, as well as BMA’s ongoing communication activities relating to its growth plans. To date, feedback from the community has highlighted concerns relating to noise and dust, housing and social services provision. 16.1 Consultation Objectives The objectives of the community engagement process are to: Initiate and maintain open communication with the community on all aspects of the project and the EIS.

BHP Billiton produces and supplies world markets, including the developing Asian and other economies, with many of the natural resources they rely on to fuel their growth. These resources include iron ore, copper, nickel, alumina, manganese, coal, uranium, oil and gas. As the world’s leading natural resources company, we are central to the growth of the world’s developing economies. We really are resourcing the future.
