Work starts on 120-lot Yilkari Industrial Estate on Kalgoorlie-Boulder's western edge
Work has started at the Yilkari Industrial Estate on Kalgoorlie-Boulder's western edge, with the first 13 lots of the 138ha development to go on pre-sale next month. The State Government last week said contractor Ertech has started stage one of DevelopmentWA's latest industrial estate in Kalgoorlie-Boulder. When announced in January, the government said the contract with Ertech was worth more than $30 million. The government said the estate on the corner of Great Eastern Highway and Anzac Drive, opposite Anzac Drive Industrial Park, would ultimately have 120 general industrial lots. It said stage one lots would range in size from 2500sqm to 1.8ha, which were expected to attract strong interest from both WA-based and interstate businesses. The government said the 13 lots to be made available by pre-sale next month would be serviced with power, water, NBN, and have direct access to the RAV10 heavy vehicle road network. It said titles are anticipated in July next year. The government said the development was forecast to attract about $200m in private investment and create 700 construction jobs during the next decade. It said once fully operational, the development would deliver 850 new permanent jobs and a $300m annual boost to the local economy. Planning and Lands Minister John Carey said the development of Yilkari Industrial Park would lead to industry diversification and growth for Kalgoorlie-Boulder and the wider Goldfields region. ''These general industrial lots are expected to support the growth in a variety of industries, including mining support services, transport/logistics, fabrication, and manufacturing,' he said. Kalgoorlie MLA Ali Kent said Yilkari would provide a long-term asset to the resources sector but also more opportunities for other industries to get established. 'This high-quality industrial estate will play a crucial role in strengthening the city's long term economy quality development,' she said.

AI to transform telecoms but technology won't completely replace humans, new Optus CEO says
Optus's new chief executive, Stephen Rue, says artificial intelligence will play a significant role in the future of telecommunications, but humans will remain central to the company. Rue joined the Australian mobile network operator, a subsidiary of Singaporean telecommunications company Singtel, in November last year after six years at the helm of the federal government's National Broadband Network (NBN). His appointment came after two tough years for the telco, with a massive data breach affecting millions of customers, and a 14-hour national mobile network outage that led to new rules around emergency calling. The previous chief executive, Kelly Bayer-Rosmarin, quit the company two weeks after the outage. Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email Customers have slowly returned to Optus, with the company adding 238,000 new mobile subscribers, including 52,000 on postpaid plans, in its financial year ending 31 March 2025, results released on Thursday showed. As companies across the globe begin to examine how to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into their business, Rue said the technology would have a significant role in the future of telecommunications, particularly in helping customers. 'One of the things we need to do in terms of IT and data and, indeed, process redesign is to look at how we incorporate AI into that,' he said. 'It will help us with customer experience. It will help us with identifying faults, for example, by identifying customers' issues so that they [can be] dealt with, enabling them to simply solve their own problems, enabling us to look at customer segmentation in a more granular way, so that we can actually deliver offers, deliver products to customers.' He said while AI would find efficiencies in the company, humans would always have a role. 'On top of AI, there's clearly decisions that would need to be taken by humans,' he said. 'AI can help bring a lot of data analytics quickly to humans so they can make better decisions. 'For example, you'll always need technicians in the field. You always need people building, you'll always need people making decisions around creative, people making decisions in call centres for customers, so AI can actually supplement that.' Sign up to Breaking News Australia Get the most important news as it breaks after newsletter promotion Rue said his focus since starting at Optus had been examining the company's governance, risk management and how to rebuild trust in the community. 'The other focus I've had is clearly in looking at our longer-term plans in terms of network, with not just a focus on resilience, which you'd expect, but also a focus on [the] company longer-term,' he said. 'It's simplifying the organisation, managing our costs and ensuring that we can continue to have a range of products that are competitive in the marketplace.' After spending endless hours over the past few years answering questions from senators in Senate estimates about the state of the NBN, Rue said he was not surprised the government-owned national broadband network had not been a key focus of the federal election this time around. 'There was a lot of debate over the last decade. I think with the National Broadband Network that has now clearly been not just built out, but there's clear plans to upgrade technology to more fibre-based and to higher speeds, and the NBN has obviously also increased the capability of the fixed wireless network,' he said. 'In some ways, a lot of the policy debate has either been settled or has moved on in the last decade.' Rue said there was more to do on mobile coverage across Australia, and he was looking forward to working with the government, including the new communications minister, Anika Wells, on the universal outdoor mobile coverage plan that would leverage commercial low-earth orbit satellite networks, such as Starlink, to supplement mobile networks in places where there was no coverage for text and calls. 'I think that clearly will be a discussion of policy and how that can be implemented,' he said. 'Personally, I'm very supportive of these discussions with government, and it will, I think, provide operators like Optus and an ability to provide cost-effective ways to provide those services.' Optus reported earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of $2.2bn, up 5.7% on its previous financial year.
