The outlook for the WA resources sector remains strong. Critical minerals and the resources required to support the global energy transition remain attractive to investors, alongside new and expansion projects across established resource deposits (buoyed by positive terms of trade).

Positively, estimates outline just over $36 billion of committed resources and energy projects are within the WA pipeline, with a further $90.6 billion proposed. However, in order to realise the economic benefits of these projects a concerted, coordinated and collaborative approach to position WA competitively in the national and global skills marketplace is required.
