Robust resources growth delivered for Queensland

Queensland's minerals and energy sector has delivered another year of robust growth, according to the annual Queensland Resources Council member survey released today. Thirty-three companies representing the exploration, mining, minerals processing, oil and gas and electricity production industries in Queensland participated in the 2005-06 survey. The results were compiled by leading professional services firm, Deloitte. Among the highlights (with previous year and percentage change) reported by the companies: • spending on goods and services in Queensland totalled $6.2 billion ($5.5 billion, +12%) • the companies paid wages and salaries of $2.2 billion ($1.98 billion, +11%) • the companies reported royalty payments to the state government of $1.26 billion ($861 million, +46%) • rail freight and access charges totalled $926 million ($1.01 billion, -8%) • demurrage (port waiting time) charges of just over $200 million were incurred • research and development investment topped $143 million • more than $55 million was allocated for environmental management • more than $32 million was invested in safety training for employees. QRC members reported almost 700 job vacancies across the state with the largest demand being for professional and production roles in central Queensland. QRC Chief Executive Michael Roche said while the sector was continuing along a path of remarkable growth, the rapid expansion phase of the past few years was showing signs of consolidating. 'The so-called boom we experienced earlier this decade is being replaced by a ramp-up in long-term production capability, underwritten by a strong global economy and the growth of economies like China and India.' Deloitte Energy, Infrastructure and Resources partner Graham McHarrie said there was recognition in the industry that margins will come under pressure if prices decline. 'Companies to benefit in the long run are those seeking now to identify efficiency gains,' he said. 'Opportunities lie in reviewing the supply chain, changing processes and increasing employee engagement. Alliances are being used as an innovative means of sourcing services and sharing in the risks and rewards,' Mr McHarrie said. QRC 23rd November 2006
