CCI/Brookfield Multiplex: North West Resources Tour 2013
Hosted by CCI’s Chief Officer, Member Services and Advocacy, John Nicolaou and Chief Officer, Business Solutions, Lindsay O’Sullivan.
With its extensive number of world-class commercial mineral projects, mine sites, processing plants and operating fields, the production capacity of WA’s North West remains unrivalled in the Asia Pacific region. While the importance of this region to the Australian economy is undeniable, it is only when you personally experience the vast and remote nature of this part of the world that you can fully appreciate its magnitude.
With a history spanning over 40 years, the CCI/Brookfield Multiplex North West Resources Tour provides a rare and unique opportunity to see first-hand many of Western Australia’s major resource projects. The 2013 North West Resources Tour focuses on Western Australia’s lucrative and expanding resources sector, with visits to a number of WA’s leading resource companies’ sites including:
- Woodside Energy,
- Chevron Australia,
- BHP Billiton Iron Ore,
- Apache Energy,
- Fortescue Metals,
- Rio Tinto and CITIC Pacific.
The tour will be jointly hosted by CCI’s Chief Officer, Member Services and Advocacy, John Nicolaou and Chief Officer, Business Solutions, Lindsay O’Sullivan, providing delegates the opportunity to draw on their extensive knowledge of the WA resource sector. John and Lindsay will offer participants an informed perspective on the developments in the North West and the associated economic implications.
The tour will commence in Perth, meeting with managing directors and senior executives from Australia’s largest resources companies. These briefings will lay the foundation for the site visits in the week ahead.Following first day briefings, the travel leg of the tour begins with delegates visiting a number of key mineral and petroleum operations. CCI’s close relationship with industry leaders means that tour participants are welcomed onto several sites which are not accessible to the public, providing the opportunity to meet and hear from the most senior executives within the resources sector.
