Coming to terms with current and future risks
Australia is currently experiencing resurgence in the resources
sector and continued growth in major projects and infrastructure
investment. While Australia's last resources boom was built on
coal exports, this time around our economy is boosted significantly
by the a number of coal seam gas (CSG) to
liquefied natural gas (LNG) operations on both the
east and west coasts.
A surging export coal seam gas market, coupled with the presence
of a high-growth LNG industry, has created significant
opportunities for various parties to deliver infrastructure support
to ensure that ports, rail and all associated infrastructure are in
place to provide the necessary support to keep pace with continued
demand from economies such as China and India.
