The SA-NT Branch AGM was a success in a new venue on the edge of the CBD near the office building of Branch Secretary Johan Meline. Twenty members and guests attended for the evening combined AGM and Dinner. The guest speaker was Mr David Winterburn, of BHP Billiton, who gave a detailed overview of the Olympic Dam Expansion project. David drew on his experience with the current project and the detailed investigations into potential environmental implications for the site, and the State, given the major use of energy and water involved. If the project proceeds, its projected cost of over $4 billion indicates it will be the largest individual project in the State's history, and will influence many other industrial developments in the State.
