The degree to which host regions benefit from resource extraction is a major
issue for research and policy. In Australia and Canada, the dominant narrative of
resource extraction is that most of the benefits flow away from host regions.
This paper draws on evolutionary economic geography, presenting a case study of
the Limestone Coast in South Australia, which previously extracted and
distributed gas locally to food and fibre manufacturing industries. New policies
seeking to renew the gas industry in the region, provide subsidies for
exploration. Scenarios were developed to help inform decisions about the role of
gas within this region. Qualitative analysis of the scenarios emphasised that gas
needs to be affordable and locally accessible. Quantitative modelling showed that
using the gas locally by manufacturing industries as part of broader industrial
expansion would lead to greater benefits compared with exporting all gas outside
the region. We conclude that policy settings have gone some way towards realising
increased benefits for the region. Regional stakeholders clearly favoured the
local use scenario but saw it as unlikely in the context of current
infrastructure limitations. Stakeholders sought policy support for infrastructure
to enable the preferred scenario to be realised.
