"Mining Impact"

Mining impact is the heading on the front page of the MIDLAND Edition of the ECHO Newspaper and once again the promise of 120 Full time jobs for people living and raising their families in the REGION is mentioned, which will no doubt give hope to many Toodyay locals and businesses with the promise of jobs and service contracts.

Much of the information in this article was covered in the Mundaring edition of the ECHO, which included the statement by BAJV CEO Bill Moss regarding a REFINERY next to the proposed mine, but some new information includes the following:

City of SWAN Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mike Foley said there was a range of businesses within the city which service existing mining industries. “So there is the potential for this proposal to provide new opportunities for local businesses,” he said.

The Resource Hub recruitment centre:

Dani Tamati from the Resource Hub, made the following comment. 

This will provide a fabulous opportunity for not only local people, but also those within the PERTH METRO area as it really is on our doorstep and is a perfect opportunity for Drive-In Drive-Out (DIDO) and with the talent pool in this climate, there will be opportunities for those with experience and qualifications to apply, she said.

If and when a mine does get approval there will no doubt be some local jobs, but ask BAJV how many, as people and businesses from all over the REGION including the METRO area, will be vying for the same positions and service contracts, so the promise of any real economic benefit to Toodyay is now even more in doubt and may just end up being a pipe dream & broken promises to many.
