It concentrates mining-economy income within the Pilbara towns where the mines themselves operate, because workers settle permanently there

It completely eliminates the need for any mining infrastructure, processing plants or transport links in the remote regions where mining occurs

It rapidly increases the permanent resident population of small remote outback mining towns right up to mega-city levels of several million people within just a few years of operation

It concentrates mining-economy income in capital cities such as Perth where workers' households are based, rather than in the regional towns where mines operate

A coastal or amenity-rich rural town such as Byron Bay or Mudgee that attracts sea-change and tree-change migrants from capital cities

A declining inland wheat-belt service town that is steadily losing its population over time as its young people leave to find work in the distant capital cities
