As part of the RCSA ACIL Allen observed and measured the economy of the Western Trade Coast. Confidential operational data, received at varying levels of depth from 19 tenants operating within the Western Trade Coast, was critical but insufficient to reflect the full scope of the economic activities of the region. To address the gaps in information ACIL Allen made use of a combination of publicly available data and a series of informed assumptions developed utilising in-house economic modelling tools. These data sets were predominately used to characterise the local spending, profits and taxes, and indirect employment which is required to support the industries within the Western Trade Coast. Information sources used to determine the industrial synergies in this report and the interactive online tool include tenants, Kwinana Industries Council (KIC) and Government agencies.
