MINING AND
ENERGY COMPANIES — EXPORTS
258. Hon DARREN WEST to the minister representing the
Minister for Mines and Petroleum:
Members will be pleased to know that my question without
notice is not to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for
Health but rather to the Minister for Agriculture and Food representing the
Minister for Mines and Petroleum.
I refer to the Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western
Australia's report ''State Growth Outlook 2013'', which
estimates that exports by mining and energy companies from Western Australian
ports will increase by 200 million tonnes per annum by 2016 and by almost 300 million
tonnes per annum by 2019.
(1) Can the
minister verify that the CME's estimates are correct, or will they be
larger than forecast?
(2) What
strain will this increase place on the state's mining infrastructure?
(3) What plans
are being put in place to transfer the current construction-based mining
workforce towards an operations-based workforce?
