HURIWA Conferences Fly-in/Fly-out Seminar: Wednesday, 1 October 2008

Fly-in/Fly-out (FIFO) is very topical in Western Australia, and given the National Party focus during the recent election, the debate about residential workforce vis a vis FIFO is set to be a key regional development issue. FIFO is not limited to workforce planning; it is also a topic of interest to families, psychologists, urban planners, political scientists, health professionals, local and State government, economists, corporate and small business.

This HURIWA seminar, held on the 1 October 2008, examined key issues in this topic. Please go to the Fly-in/Fly-out Seminar page for program details and copies of the presentations.
