employees who take up residence in regional mining areas,
or harmonising state-based impediments to labour mobility
like stamp duty, school start and finish ages and occupational
licensing requirements.
There are genuine challenges that exist in encouraging
worker relocation, particularly from urban eastern areas to
remote mining regions, but over time, joint success in this
area will see Australian workers overwhelmingly benefit from
the continued strength of resources investment.
Bright future
As AMMA moves into our 96th year representing Australia’s
national resources industry, a continuing theme across all
our activities is to help mould an operating environment
that enables our members to continually innovate, boost
productivity and viably compete in the global marketplace.
While we have seen many challenges in recent times, it
is clear that with a national policy framework that supports
doing business in this country, Australia’s resource employers
continue to be a key driver of national prosperity and job
creation for decades to come.
We look forward to a successful and exciting 2014 as
Australia’s resources industry continues to deliver on the
opportunities it has worked so hard to create in recent times.
AMMA suggests the
resources sector
faces some ‘people’
challenges but will
continue to prosper
