Program Overview
This research program will build robust regional economies throughout remote Australia through our partners in government, industry and communities. This will provide the sustainable employment and enterprise opportunities vital to increasing the level of economic participation for remote Australians.
Outputs
The outputs of the Regional Economies Program will include:
- Predictive model of remote area micro-level mobility for service delivery and labour planning
- Data on the size and flows of costs and benefits generated by mining operations
- Models on how to maximise the regional impact of mining
- Case studies and methods for communities to manage risks and become resilient over the lifecycle of a mining operation
- An input-output model of remote Australia
- Case studies and pathways to alternative climate change and energy futures
- At least seven post-graduate students; 30 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people trained as paid field researchers; five honours, VET or vacation students.
