Enduring Community Value from Mining

Project Overview

The Enduring Community Value from Mining project concluded in June 2017. Research in this project aimed to ensure that communities accrue benefits from mining activities in their region. The project developed a systems understanding of the size and flows of benefits and costs generated by mining activity over mine lifecycles in remote communities of Western Australia, Northern Territory and South Australia.

The research programs assessed where impacts are felt spatially, and by whom. Spatial and economic modelling was developed to enable predictive modelling of the mine impacts to prepare communities affected by mining operations to manage risk and build resilience.

Researchers worked with communities, local businesses and mining companies to develop models that turn the short-term economic benefits from resource extraction into long-term community assets. The databases developed enable communities to make informed decisions for improved wellbeing.

Research results were disseminated widely, with the project publishing 35 journal papers, presenting at 30 conferences and creating 33 other end-user publications.

The impacts from the project were:

  • Improved beyond-life-of-mine planning processes that encapsulate the development aspirations of local communities and create locally based structures and organisations that function after mine site decommissioning
  • Stronger regional communities by ensuring that more benefits of mining remain within the local economy and contribute to the social betterment of local people
  • Strategies that remote communities can use to deal with sudden shocks and global changes.

The main outputs from the project were:

  • Data on the size and flow of costs and benefits generated by mining operations
  • Spatial and economic models of mine impacts, which can be used by stakeholders to identify opportunities to maximise local impact
  • Case studies and scenario planning tools for communities to manage risks and build resilience, including a comprehensive Toolkit.
