On Thursday 28th of June the GEIDB, GPCL and Eidos will be hosting Conference<br />
participants for a sponsored boat tour of the Western Basin of the Gladstone Harbour.<br />
The two hour tour leaves Gladstone Marina and travels past the RG Tanna Coal Terminal; Golding Point to view the current<br />
construction of Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal; Fishermans Landing Wharf and the reclamation zone at Fishermans<br />
Landing Wharf North; and the LNG Export construction sites for APLNG, QCLNG and GLNG on the Curtis Island Industry<br />
Precinct of the Gladstone State Development Area before returning to the Marina.<br />
The aim of the tour is to showcase major engineering construction and port operations in the Gladstone Harbour. In particular<br />
the construction of three new LNG export plants on Curtis Island; the GPCL Western Basin Dredge and Disposal Project; and<br />
the construction of the Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal (WICET). In addition to work under construction the harbour<br />
tour will also include a close up view of the existing RG Tanna 4 Berth Wharf and Coal Terminal; the Rio Tinto Yarwun<br />
Alumina Refinery 2 Berth Wharf; the Cement Australia Wharf; other port facilities at Fishermans Landing Wharf plus the GPCL<br />
facilities at Port <strong>Central</strong>. Technical experts will supply commentary during the tour highlighting both the new projects and the<br />
capabilities of existing port facilities.<br />
The harbour tour will provide an opportunity for Conference attendees to relax and experience the unique and beautiful<br />
Gladstone Harbour Western Basin following the initial day of intensive discussions.<br />

Sustainable development in resource intensive regions - eidos.org.au
welcome<br />
The value of Australia’s resource and<br />
energy exports in 2011 was $190bn,<br />
a 15% increase on the previous year.<br />
At a time of global economic stress,<br />
Australia’s resources sector has helped<br />
it weather the storm. Investment in<br />
Australian mines is at all time highs,<br />
increasing 34% between April and<br />
October of 2011 alone.<br />
The benefits of the mining boom<br />
do not come without creating<br />
challenges. Consideration for the flow<br />
of industry-generated effects into<br />
the wider community is necessary<br />
on a variety of levels. Environmental<br />
concerns regarding the impact of<br />
mining continue to present problems<br />
for the industry. Issues of use of<br />
land, both nature reserves and prime<br />
agricultural land, are becoming an<br />
issue especially with the increasing<br />
prevalence of Coal Seam Gas mines.<br />
The impact of industry is also more<br />
localised. Industry intensive areas<br />
like Gladstone, the focus of this<br />
conference, are seeing significant<br />
changes as a result of the dominance<br />
of those industries. An influx of<br />
workers has led to issues regarding<br />
housing, w<strong>here</strong> supply may be<br />
insufficient to meet demand. The high<br />
salaries offered by mining companies<br />
attracts workers both from across<br />
Australia and within the local area,<br />
which is in turn creating issues for<br />
local businesses unable to compete<br />
with escalating industry wages and<br />
consequently, the cost of living.<br />
Recently, significant scrutiny has<br />
attached to work practices for<br />
mine employees. Fly-in fly-out<br />
(FIFO, DiDo, etc) workers, who<br />
commute to the worksites and live in<br />
work camps for weeks at a time,<br />
are at the centre of the discussion in<br />
terms of the social impact of resource<br />
intensive industries. Psychological<br />
and social problems, including bullying,<br />
isolation, depression and high-risk<br />
behaviour are developing in these<br />
camps. In contrast, the significant<br />
advantages offered by these industries,<br />
in terms of developing a workforce<br />
and regional economies, are allowing<br />
this workforce to gain mobility as<br />
workers are able to maintain their<br />
lives at home whilst working in<br />
remote mining areas.<br />
Companies within the resource<br />
industry are increasingly aware of<br />
these issues that communities face,<br />
and are pursuing sustainable practices<br />
in response. In addition, sustainable<br />
development is being pursued in<br />
terms of economic growth, ensuring<br />
its manageability and ability to be<br />
continued at a steady pace over<br />
the long term.<br />
Given these issues, it is crucial that<br />
industry, government, the community<br />
and academia join together in order<br />
to effectively balance the benefits and<br />
the potential difficulties of Australia’s<br />
resource industry. The Resource<br />
Sustainability Conference 2012 offers<br />
an opportunity for these groups to<br />
share insights, discuss current solutions<br />
and look towards future innovations<br />
in the field in a joint format. In<br />
addition, keynote speeches by leading<br />
government representatives, and<br />
a presentation by leaders in the<br />
mining industry on the social impact<br />
management plan in Gladstone will<br />
be features of this conference. 2012<br />

About the national conference Series<br />
Professor Drew Dawson<br />
Director, Appleton Institute, <strong>Central</strong><br />
<strong>Queensland</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
Drew established the sleep research<br />
group at the <strong>University</strong> of Adelaide<br />
in 1992, which since then has grown<br />
to become the largest behavioural<br />
sleep research group in Australia. In<br />
recent years Drew has broadened his<br />
research interests, and built a broad<br />
multidisciplinary team, forming the<br />
Appleton Institute in January 2012.<br />
Currently, Eidos is partnering in<br />
support of a number of major policy<br />
projects seeking to answer some of the<br />
nations toughest and most pervasive<br />
economic and social policy challenges.<br />
These progressive topics are geared<br />
towards influencing and shaping<br />
Australian public policy. As an avid<br />
supporter of open debate and dialogue<br />
on topical public policy issues, the<br />
Eidos Institute has recognised the need<br />
for an open space for Australia’s leading<br />
and emerging researchers and policy<br />
leaders to promote and present their<br />
latest findings.<br />
The Eidos Institute’s National<br />
Conference Series 2011 provides an<br />
opportunity for researchers and policy<br />
leaders to present, promote and<br />
disseminate world-class research to a<br />
broad audience. This dissemination<br />
allows the private and public sector, key<br />
government decision makers, as well as<br />
world-class researchers to initiate and<br />
maintain dialogue, resulting in a more<br />
informed public sp<strong>here</strong>.<br />
In light of this recognition, The Eidos<br />
National Conference Series was born.<br />
Held nationally and presented by Eidos<br />
in partnership with university members<br />
and partners, is unique in that it focuses<br />
on cross-institutional engagement<br />
with universities and government<br />
