We are delighted to return to Brisbane for the 8^th Coaltrans Australia, examining the developing trends shaping the road ahead for the world’s leading coking coal exporter.
 
Ambitious plans to develop ports along the Eastern coast along with connecting rail lines are generating mixed reactions of optimism, scepticism and environmental scrutiny. With so many variables affecting whether infrastructural targets are hit, Coaltrans Australia will provide delegates with detailed sessions analysing the current state of the coal supply chain and debating what the coming years will bring.
 
As projects progress, the scale of Australia’s labour shortage is becoming increasingly apparent. As companies and regulators discuss innovative strategies for meeting this deficit, join us to examine the strategies being laid out to ensure an increased and productive workforce to sustain Australian coal growth.
 
In addition, we will be taking stock of Australia’s competitive position in the global coal markets. How are market trends developing? How are the buyers’ needs changing? And how is Australia’s collaborative relationship with India and China changing?

Meet with over 250 leading industry players from across Australia and many of the key Asian buying markets to discuss these and the other key issues shaping the future of this dynamic and highly influential coal sector.

Our comprehensive programme features presentations from:

• Michael Roche - CEO, Queensland Resources Council
• Nathan Tinkler - Chairman, Tinkler Group
• Fredrick Palmer - Chairman, World Coal Association & Senior Vice President, Peabody Energy
• Dr. Nikki Williams - CEO, Australian Coal Association
