Infrastructure

Significant growth in industry also requires regional infrastructure. The south-west is the source of many internationally renowned products. The mining sector is the highest earner in the region, followed by forestry, agriculture-which includes horticulture and viticulture-and tourism. In fact, the south-west of Western Australia is an absolute and utter economic powerhouse. For example, we have major supplies of alumina, the world's largest and highest-grade spodumene and the world's largest tantalum deposit. As a result, the Bunbury port is one of the busiest in the state. Investment in road and rail infrastructure is essential to facilitate proposed expansions in this resource sector-and, let's face it, investing in Forrest is investing for Australia.
