Regional Economies – ECVM
ECVM Project Outputs
• Key Commonwealth Milestone:
• E… C… V… M…
• 25 months remaining – ends 30 June 2017
4
Output 2.2:
• Data will be produced on the size and flows of costs and
benefits generated by mining operations.
• Spatial and economic predictive models of a mine's
impacts will be used.
• Case studies and scenario planning tools will be
developed for communities to manage risks.
• An input-output model of remote Australia will be
produced.

Sub Projects – All connected through ECVM*
• Most of us have or do cover labour and labour mobility issues
• Much has already been produced e.g.

Supporting Impact
• ECVM Toolkit*
• To help bring industry, government, and communities together in
negotiating planning and management of the mine and community
• Will link research outputs at rear, middle main modules, aide
memoire – check list
• Get parties negotiating and planning early
• Tools
• Employment impact model
• Input-Output model of remote Australia
• Etc.
• Examples: Senate Inquiry FIFO, Leigh Creek Transitional Policy, Jabiru
authority expiration, Pilbara – multitude of opportunities

Social Acceptance and Mineral Development
• How is ECVM delivered? Land, Labour and Capital
• ECVM projects provide tools that can deliver an
evidence base for whether ECVM is being delivered
• ECVM critical to obtaining social acceptance
• Early information to communities: trust, social
acceptance
• Governments and Companies make decisions,
communities can only influence them
• Ethically, without social acceptance, difficult for mining
to proceed in good faith

Social Acceptance and Mineral Development
• Range of projects that can provide an evidence base
for whether ECVM is being delivered
• ECVM critical to obtaining social acceptance
• Providing information to communities early can help
in building trust and gaining social acceptance
• Governments and Companies make decisions,
communities can only influence them
• Ethically however, without social acceptance, difficult
for mining to proceed in good faith
• resulting in a burden placed on society – for which
governments are ultimately accountable and responsible
