THE INDIAN OCEAN - A KEY REGION

The Indian Ocean is the world’s third largest and is bordered by nations with a combined population of around 2.7 billion, including the regions of South Asia, the Middle East, Africa’s east coast and Australia.

As a means of seaborne access for dozens of nations, and as one of the world’s busiest trade routes, the Indian Ocean is strategically significant.

The Indian Ocean supports:

y half the world’s container shipping traffic

y an estimated 40 per cent of the world’s offshore oil production

y five of Australia’s top 15 trading partners

With Indian Ocean nations developing advanced industries, the region is seeing ever increasing demand for energy and materials commodities to fuel growth.

As Australia’s gateway to the Indian Ocean, Western Australia plays a significant role in the nation’s diplomatic, strategic and industrial support for the Indian Ocean region, and is the ideal venue for Indian Ocean Defence & Security.

WHY WESTERN AUSTRALIA?

y Western Australia’s Gross State Product of $377.3 billion represents 17.5% share of the national economy.

y The State exported $223.3 billion of goods in the year to September 2022, which is 55.5% of national exports.

y It is in the same time zone as approximately a quarter of the world’s population, and consequently, it is a base for numerous multi-national companies.

y Western Australia is strategically located, as Australia’s gateway to the Indian Ocean, providing significant opportunities to maintain, sustain, enhance and develop defence assets and capabilities in the national interest.

Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation

GOVERNMENT OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA

y Western Australia, with its long-standing trade and industry relationships with Quad partners, is poised to be central to this security dialogue as it moves forward.

y The State is the home of Australia’s submarine fleet and the home of Australia’s largest naval base at HMAS Stirling.

y Under AUKUS, Western Australia is set to host a forward-deployed force of British and US nuclear-powered submarines from 2027 and will be the future home of Australia’s own nuclear-powered submarine fleet.

y Western Australia’s rapid, solutions-focused mining, oil and gas culture can be readily applied to the defence and security sectors, increasing sovereign capability.

y The Australian Marine Complex, located adjacent to HMAS Stirling, is a world-class centre of excellence in manufacturing, fabrication, assembly, technology, repair and maintenance activities for Defence.

y The State is the birthplace of Austal, Australia’s only sovereign prime and only non-US company that supplies principal combatant surface warships to the US Navy.

y Western Australia has world-leading expertise in developing and delivering undersea and uncrewed systems, autonomous technologies, remote operations, command and control systems and cyber security technology.

y Western Australia is recognised for its defence-relevant workforce training, research, and development with strong collaboration between universities and training providers.
