Department of State Development advises:
(1) The Department of State Development is working with LandCorp to facilitate the establishment of industrial projects within the Boodarie Strategic Industrial Area. Boodarie and other Strategic Industrial Areas are potentially able to access funding under the State Government's Heavy Use Industrial Land Strategy through which statutory approvals toward a basic "project ready" status for the estate could be obtained.
The State Government is also aware of proposals by iron ore miners in the region to utilise land in Boodarie for rail, conveyors, stockpiles, and other export-related infrastructure. Relevant agencies are working to identify the most suitable locations, tenure types and configurations for such developments and to facilitate these projects where appropriate.
(2a) Yes. Future proponents in the Boodarie Strategic Industrial Area may be able to access gas and power from the existing gas pipeline and electricity network or from other new providers.
(b) Yes. The Boodarie Strategic Industrial Area is intended for strategic industrial uses and already has appropriate zoning for this purpose. It is also advantageously located with regard to road transport and port access.
(3) See answers to parts (1) and (2).
