Shire of Roebourne Local Planning StrategyTechnical Report A1: Economic Development Strategy2.4 Imports and exportsRegional Exports data represents the value ($) of goods and services exported outside of the definedregion that have been generated by businesses / organisations in each of the industry sectors within theregion. Another way of defining exports is as an inflow of money into the region, i.e. Motels have an inflowof money from people who live outside the region’s boundaries thus they are earning export dollars. Nodistinction is made between domestic and international exports. For instance, so exports of goods andservices from Pilbara Region include sales to the rest of the region.Regional Imports data represents the value ($) of goods and services imported into the defined region bybusinesses / organisations in each of the industry sectors. Another way of defining imports is as anoutflow of money from the region, i.e. a local business outsourcing accountancy services to a firm inanother region which results in an outflow of money thus they are importing services. No distinction ismade between domestic and international imports, and so imports into Pilbara Region include goods andservices sourced from the broader region.The value of the import and export flow of the major industries is shown below, indicating, consistent withthe value add data, a net outflow in mining and construction industries.Figure 3: Shire of Roebourne value of imports and exports (major industries) $MMiningConstructionManufacturingTransport, Postal & Warehousing$0.00 $2,000.00 $4,000.00 $6,000.00 $8,000.00 $10,000.00 $12,000.00ExportsImportsData Source: PDC / REMPLANWhen the Shire import and export data for other industries an interesting picture emerges of high levelsof import flows compares with export flows from the Shire across a wide range of services.

Most of these services would be sourced from major administrative and commercialcentres, principally Perth, but also other Australian major centres (Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra) andoverseas. This points to an area of expansion as the community expands and diversifies. It would alsoincrease as the role of Karratha as the principal service centre for eh Pilbara region expanded.An objective would be for the Shire to be a net exporter of services such as health, education, professionaland administrative services and knowledge industries in general to the wider Pilbara region.22
