- •
Commute/camp work arrangements have replaced residential resource towns as the preferred development option since the 1970s.
- •
The drivers encouraging the commute/camp option have evolved since 2000 to address labour and housing shortages thus changing the geography of commute operations.
- •
Commute operations are now found not only in remote areas, but also in “near-town” and “in-town” situations.
- •
Source communities or employment hubs are also being targeted for labour.
- •
How these arrangements will continue evolve in the next commodities growth cycle is of concern to resource-based communities and regions.
