Originally published in 1984. Australia is a resource-rich country
deriving a significant proportion of its export earnings from trade
in these resources. At the same time, the country is young,
sparsely populated beyond the coastal fringe, particularly in the
resource-rich areas, and environmentally fragile. The consequences
of resource exploitation in these areas have far-reaching policy
implications. A range of these concerns is canvassed in this
volume, encompassing the views of policy-makers, planners and
academics. Five chapters address social and economic impacts
ranging over manufacturing and tertiary industry, immigration and
labour markets, employment and population and the provision of
educational facilities. Many of these are seen in microcosm in the
Hunter Valley, New South Wales. Two contributions offer an
international perspective, one in another federal system - Canada -
and one where Australian interests are participating in resource
extraction - Papua New Guinea. The issues raised are fundamental to
Australia's development in the 1980's and of importance to everyone
connected with the development and planning of Australia's future.
