However, concerns remain around the supply of crude.
Sanderson told 6PR Drive host Jamie Burnett that Western Australia is well placed and vying for a refinery as the Commonwealth announced a feasibility study for fuel refining capability across Australia.
“The Commonwealth has announced a feasibility study for fuel refining capability across Australia. Western Australia is putting its best foot forward and advocating that we are one of those locations”, she said.
