• 11.5% directly from extraction and

processing

• 6.5% from other sectors providing inputs

• 3.25% directly from extraction and

processing

• 6.75% from other sectors providing inputs

GDP contribution of Mining Equipment, Technology and Services (METS) sector has grown faster than mining’s

METS output is growing at 15 to 20% a year

• 4% of national output in 2002-03

• 8.4% in 2011-12

METS contribution to GDP

• 6.7% in 2010-11

• Est. 9.4% in 2012-13

Many METS are knowledge- and technology-intensive

METS is now a very important industry sector to Australia

Australian exploration and mining industry is now global – the business dimension of Australia’s strategic interests

Australian Industry Participation in Western Australia resource projects

• Proportional spending on the construction phase of oil & gas projects (but not

mining) has shifted towards overseas suppliers over the last 30 years

• But there continues to be a very high level of Australian industry participation

• CME/APPEA Local Content Study (2011)1:

• WA State Government Local Content Report – November 20112

• Publically announced local contracts July 2011 to March 2012 = A$15.5 billion3

Case study: Kalgoorlie, Western Australia

17

• Mining town since 1900s –

● Gold, nickel sulphide and nickel laterite –

long life operations and evolving industry

• 600 km east of Perth

• Region’s population 45,000

• Mining services developed initially

because of remoteness

• Strong regional METS clusters (sectoral

and geographic)

● ~200 manufacturing & services sites

• Now a net ‘exporter’ of mining

equipment and services to other

locations

18

• Australia’s most northern and isolated city

● Major service centre for mining, oil and gas,

defence and marine sectors

• Population 110,000

• Mining services developed initially because of

remoteness

• Now has a competitive advantage in mining

and petroleum services

• Strong regional METS clusters (sectoral and

geographic)

● ~300 manufacturing & services sites

● Collaborative business culture

• Exporter of METS to other locations, including

Indonesia

Case study: Darwin, Northern Territory

Kalgoorlie and Darwin: Factors of success • Long-life customer mining/petroleum operations ; diverse markets (Darwin – sector

diversity; Kalgoorlie – geographic diversity)

• Good business and community infrastructure: serviced industrial land, roads, energy,

water, community

• Skilled resident workforce; sustainable demographic profile; attractive town amenity

• Education and training institutions: public and private secondary schools, and

vocational training and education; universities / school of mines (Kalgoorlie)

• Strong entrepreneurship culture, support networks, business services

• Financial institutions that understand mining and services

• Supportive, light-handed government interventions, eg: industry participation policies;

partnerships with business to connect customers and suppliers; small business support

19

• Collaborations to overcome small scale and lack of capacity

• Right size contracts and alliances to help build local firms

● some operations have adopted ‘inside-out’ strategies to help employees become independent services suppliers

• Revise e-procurement and payment processes for small firms

● companies offer access to global supply chains for good performers

• Government-business partnerships to build supplier-customer linkages, eg

● Australian Industry Participation National Framework

● Industry Capability Network; Project Connect

• Infrastructure to support business

● Government investment and facilitation of business infrastructure through PPPs

20

Kalgoorlie and Darwin: overcoming obstacles

• Economic reform and infrastructure

partnerships

• Investment attraction, efficient approvals,

certain fiscal regime

• Win-win-win approaches: partnerships,

delivery of returns for all

• Using mining to facilitate broad-based

economic growth

• Importance of technology, knowledge and

skills

• Generating strong social licence to operate

Australian approaches to development

<New slide>

GROWING THE PIE

• Market-based reforms to energy, water and transport

• Flexible and diverse labour market

• Demand-responsive education and training

• Liberalisation of trade and investment

• Taxation reform

• Robust policy processes – eg Productivity Commission, Infrastructure Australia, green & white papers, think tanks

• Transparent and open approval processes

Regulatory and institutional processes THREE DECADES OF REFORM

22

<New slide>

People are Australia’s most important asset Focus on attracting, developing and retaining high-quality talent, not just a focus on hard infrastructure

Education and

training institutions:

key infrastructure

assets

Complementary to

traditional

infrastructure

Public sector and

industry

collaboration

• Crucial to dealing with challenges and opportunities of the 21st Century

• Advanced education integrated with research

• Knowledge-intensive and knowledge creating

• Adaptable and capable to deal with uncertainty and to engage with the

emerging new global economy

• e.g. Technical colleges; SKM Learning Centre, GE Energy Learning Centre;

University research and teaching centres (Rio Tinto, BHP, Chevron, Shell)

• Knowledge spillovers: trained workers move between projects and firms, taking skill

set and culture with them
