		The population of the Pilbara grew in several spurts based on a short lived pearl industry that started in Cossack and moved to Broome in 1884, a brief gold rush that was in decline by 1906 and the beginnings of the fishing industry, with whaling operations established in 1912.
		The Pilbara has just under 6% of its land area in conservation areas; out of its 16 bioregions 7 are not represented in the conservation estate at all and 10 of the 16 are represented at less than 5% of their area.
		Whilst the non-Aboriginal population in the Pilbara is declining, the Indigenous population increased by an estimated 14.5 percent between 1991 and 2001.

		Strategic and long term development in the Pilbara is necessary if the state is to have any hope of moving away from its current condition as a city surrounded by empty farmland and mining areas that pay for its high standard of living.
		The Pilbara is expected to be a major part of Western Australia's short to medium term economic growth, as downstream mineral processing projects become increasingly viable due to the dergegulated gas market and cheaper energy.

		PERTH — Pilbara Mines [ASX: PIL] has unveiled an initial resource for the exciting Jaguar base metals discovery in Western Australia and is now weighing up the merits of whether to undertake a feasibility study into a potential small-scale development or look for additional Jaguar-style resources in the prospective area.
		Grades for Jaguar are comparable to those of the original Teutonic Bore open cut and underground mine, which produced 1.5 million tonnes at 3.6 percent copper, 11.4 percent zinc and 167g/t silver between 1980 and 1985.
		Pilbara's managing director John Davis said an independent preliminary scoping study completed by Snowden Mining Consultants indicated that an underground operation with an estimated mine life of about 5-6 years was economically viable, subject to further definitive studies.

	ACTU holds talks with BHP Australian unions prepare to impose company demands on Pilbara workers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Until last week BHP has rejected the unions' claim, saying that the only way for it to become competitive with its major rival in the Pilbara, Rio Tinto, is through the imposition of individual contracts allowing complete flexibility of rostering.
		Anderson also hinted at what had led to the talks with the ACTU when he said that he was "troubled" at the extent of industrial action provoked by the Pilbara dispute.
		But whether Pilbara workers regard the prospect of the ACTU imposing the same conditions as are contained in BHP's individual contracts as a "victory" is yet to be seen.
