Environment
Using only 0.1 percent of Queensland’s land mass, resources and energy operations must be plannedand undertaken in a way that minimises the total footprint and impacts to the environment, including land, biodiversity, air quality, water and the Great Barrier Reef. QRC regards environmentally responsible operations and sustainable asset management as a core part of the resources sector’s social licence to operate.
QRC represents Queensland’s resources and energy sector on environmental policy and operational matters, assisting our members as they navigate complex regulatory mechanisms and helping government bridge the gap between policy reform concepts and real-world applications.
We do this through:
- Working with government, industry, and other stakeholders to achieve appropriate, effective, and sustainable policy, laws, regulations, and procedures that facilitate the sector’s contribution to people, the planet, and prosperity.
To achieve this, QRC operates in accordance with its Environment Policy.
