We have made significant progress in
working with FMG on its particular ambitions, including FMG investing $750 million
in the green steel Iron Bridge project, which will use renewable energy. We
have a range of projects taking place all around the state. Some are in the
planning stage and some are in the development stage. This is an exciting
period in Western Australia's economic fortunes. This is an exciting
time. Since we have had such a strong response to COVID-19, Western Australia,
more so than any other jurisdiction in this country—indeed, possibly
the globe—is in a position to take advantage of the renewable energy
future that the post-COVID period represents.
