Abstract (AI)
“Fly-in/fly-out” is a form of work organization that has become the standard model for new mining, petroleum and other types of resource development in remote areas. In many places this “no town” model has replaced that of the “new town.” The work system has both beneficial and adverse implications for the sustainability of both existing communities near new resource developments and for the more distant communities from which workers are drawn. This paper explores these outcomes drawing upon examples from North America and Australia.
Key Findings
1
Examples from North America and Australia are used to examine these varied community-sustainability outcomes.
2
Fly-in/fly-out employment has become the standard organizational model for new mining, petroleum, and other remote resource developments.
3
Fly-in/fly-out work arrangements generate both beneficial and adverse effects on the sustainability of nearby existing communities.
4
The model also affects the sustainability of distant worker-source communities, not only communities near resource projects.
5
This “no town” model has increasingly replaced the traditional development of planned “new towns” in remote resource regions.
