Led by a consortium local government and the Karratha & Districts Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KDCCI), the More Than Mining policy reform is the solution required to achieve sustainable, stable, and inclusive regional communities that are home to skilled and diverse residential workforces – necessary foundations for continuing to drive our Nation’s economic prosperity.

Mining communities’ dependency on resource sector employers sees them suffer at the hand of these companies’ investment decisions. Cities and town swell and contract in response to project lifecycles, and those employed in sectors outside of the dominant resources industry are hardest hit by housing, labour, and cost of living pressures.
