The gas supply crisis is effecting Western Australia jobs outside of the energy and resource sector.
According to the Food Industry Association WA Inc., there is mounting concern among industry leaders that the shortage will cause serious and lasting damage to the food and beverage manufacturing sector.
A lot of the apprehension is over whether or not issues with the gas supply will cause the loss of jobs and threaten Western Australia’s food supply. Some are even afraid that interstate trade and exportation could be effected. According to Andrea Berteit, FIA chief executive office, food and beverage manufacturers are taking measures to reduce the damage.
“We’re now ringing alarm bells because the problem is getting more serious by the day,” Berteit explained “Even though our members are trying to do the right thing, the current situation cannot be sustained.
“Where possible, they’ve switched to other, more expensive fuels, rescheduled operations to non-peak energy periods, reduced production through maintenance shutdowns, and asked staff to take annual leave,” Berteit continued. “Several have already closed their doors, the latest being Vesco foods which has halted operations for at least a week.”
Already Western Australia is experiencing a shortage in milk brought on by the 12 hour rotational gas supply strategy to cope with loss. Although the energy supplier contacts those effected 12 hours ahead of time before reducing or cutting the power, this is not enough forewarning as far as many food and beverage products are concerned.
Berteit says that this policy could cause even more milk and milk products to be wasted. She went on to say that the uncertainty of whether or not companies will be able to produce foodstuffs is also effecting employees, many of which are now afraid of losing their jobs. According to her, authorities should re-think the policy in order to minimize the damage done to the industry.
The explosion, which took place on the Varanus Island gas processing plant, occurred on June 3rd. The accident cut off a third of the state’s gas supply and there is no telling exactly when the plant will be fully operational again.
