Lynas Rare Earths CEO Amanda Lacaze contends that Australia should be ‘energy-supply agnostic’, so adding nuclear power to the nation’s energy mix needs to be considered. Speaking on the sidelines of the annual Diggers & Dealers mining conference in Kalgoorlie, Lacaze said that anything that improved baseload power in the Western Australian town would be a "very good thing". Kalgoorlie’s power is currently supplied via a single transmission line covering more than 600 kilometres, plus a backup generator with a maximum capacity of four hours.

Housing rent charges in Port Hedland rose by $A10 per week in the December 2016 quarter, according to data from the Pilbara Development Commission. It was the first quarterly rise in rents since 2012, and reflects the recent rebound in the iron ore price. The average advertised sale price of homes in Port Hedland rose for the first time since 2013. The average rent in Port Hedland is now $A506 per week, compared with nearly $A2,600 at the height of the mining boom. The iron ore price has reached a peak of more $US90 per tonne, but many forecasters do not expect this to be sustained.
