Western Australian Economy





Kalgoorlies super pit

WESTERN AUSTRALIA'S ECONOMY!! =D

W.A manufactures, exports, extracts and many more things we are a leding country in many regions including the mining industry.Western Australia has the highest capita output of any australian state, that has been largely been based on the extraction and export of mining and petroleum commodities especially iron, alumina, natural gas, nickel and gold. Western Australia is a leading alumina extractor producing more than 20% of the world's alumina and is also the 3rd larsest country in iron ore production, Also extracts 25% of Australias gold. The W.A agricultural output remains high, Agricultural products are also the second largest contributor to Western Australia’s export income (behind the minerals and energy sector).Western Australia is very much a mining country and we are doing excellent in the mining industry.


The Goldfields region is Australia's premier gold heritage region. Pastoralism is an important industry, and represents the regions main land use, 84% of the Gascoyne's land area is covered by pastoral leases. Gascoyne also has a substantial mining sector, mainly based on extraction of salt and gypsum. The Kimberlys economy produces pearls, mining, Agriculture and aquaculture. Canarvon is a high producer in wool, agriculture especially banannas and tomatoes. Shark bay locally industries include fishing, tourism, salt, pearl (marine culturing), mining of shell grit and various pastoral activities.


Western Australia has plenty pf strengths and weakness's. we produce lots of iron ore, wheat and lots of other things including gold. we are a great country in agricultural exports and tourism. We have many industrys and bulidings around us that mine these items so that we can export them at a greater rate.


We are suffering from a albour shortage as young people head north to make real money from the minig boom. also health risks are on the rise.


The Western Australia's economy is changing in many various ways there is a boom in property value and also labour shortages have occoured. Perth property is now the second most valuable in Australia behind Sydney. Large projects continue to fuel the economy and population growth continues to push rental prices up. We are discovering new technologies that arent environmentally friendly which is causing the environment to change e.g global warming and green house gases even though we are slowely comeing up with some new ideas to reduce these we arent doing enough. The Economy is finding new things to build. Food Prices, petrol prices you name it they are all going up in prices many family's are finding it hard to support themselves as the prices continue to rise.
