Resources: Australia's Strongest Performer
The South Australian Chamber of Mines & Energy (SACOME) welcomes today’s release of the Resources 2030 Taskforce Final Report.
The Resources 2030 Taskforce was established, by the Minister for Resources and Northern Australia the Hon. Matthew Canavan, to examine and make recommendations on how to ensure Australia’s resource sector remains globally competitive and sustainable.
The report contains 29 recommendations that are intended to form the basis of a new National Resources Statement, that will serve as a longer-term bi-partisan guide for the Australian resource sector to continue to grow and provide prosperity for future generations.
The Australian resource sector is Australia’s strongest economic performer, directly employing over 230,000 people and generating exports worth $226 billion in 2017-18.
SACOME CEO Rebecca Knol said: “The Resources 2030 Taskforce Final Report confirms the fact that the Australian resource sector is a Titan of the Australian economy, increasing our global wealth and creating greater economic and social opportunities for all Australians.
This reality nationally is replicated in South Australia where the resource sector is the engine room of the South Australian economy employing over 11,000 people, delivering $6.4 billion in gross state product, $5.3 billion in production, $3.7 billion in exports and $213 million in royalties to South Australians.
This economic contribution plays a pivotal role in the well-being of each and every South Australian, helping fund our world-class health system, education system and vital infrastructure projects.
While the resource sector is already a major economic contributor to our State, the Resources 2030 Taskforce Final Report also plays an important role in highlighting the future opportunities for the Australian resource sector to continue its growth and we thank Minister Canavan for the opportunity to contribute to such an important report on the future of the Australian resource sector.”
