Pilbara city to rise in the north

There appears to be a push coming from the liberal government to establish a city in the Pilbara.

At the opening of the Zone Conference in Perth at the University of Western Australia, Premier Colin Barnett commented that it would be unacceptable not to develop the north west of the state.

It seems that big corporates like BHP & Rio Tinto are keen to have services closer to all their mining action. The state government is chasing the federal government for a prepayment to kick start the project.

Ken Perry, managing director of Brandrill Ltd has prepared a discussion paper on the matter suggesting that there should be plans put in place to develop a city to be home for 1 million people.

The deputy managing director of CITC Pacific said that his company is building a giant desalination plant capable of producing 51 gigalitres is expected to produce 25% excess water. This excess water will be available to any major human population that emerges in the area.

Coastal living in Western Australia

Western Australia has one of the lowest population densities on the planet as well as one of the longest sparsely populated coastlines. The last couple of centuries have seen a steady migration of people from all corners of the planet into the most attractive locations particularly Perth.

Coastal living has always been highly valued, particularly where there has been access to fresh water at points where rivers merge with the ocean and where the sea has provided bountiful supplies of sea food. With a particularly dry climate, the expansion of populations along the West Australian coast has been limited.

With falling solar energy costs and more sophisticated desalination systems there is every reason to believe that human populations will spread out all along the WA coast line.
