More well-paid jobs and expenditure in the Hauraki District WNP will be transformational for the region. It will increase production and mine life. Employment growth in the Hauraki District is strongly influenced by fortunes of mining in Waihi because the mine directly and indirectly accounts for a significant portion (10%+) of local jobs. Figure 2 shows that employment will increase significantly when WNP overlaps with existing programmes, and extend employment beyond 2030 alongside mine life, average 357 FTE per year (during the operational phase of 2024-2036). We estimate that 30% of purchases (operating and capital) for WNP will be from businesses located in Hauraki District. This will support an estimate 151 FTE in suppliers and a further 328 FTE from spill-over effects, on average per year in the production period (2024-2036).
