Competitive Sector
Our primary role is to work with industry, governments and other stakeholders to establish a robust yet efficient regulatory environment that supports the long-term sustainability of the resources sector.
We do this through:
- advocating for regulatory reform and streamlining of resources legislation
- addressing industry concerns through stakeholder collaboration, and influencing government policies related to coexistence, tenure reform, approval processes, land access, and land use conflicts.
- playing a pivotal role in promoting industry growth, diversity, and achievements, while emphasising the global competitive advantage of the sector’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.
- fostering and supporting leading practice, emphasising the global competitive advantage of the sector’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.
- building capability and diversity, as well as advocating for exploration policy frameworks that develop Queensland’s critical minerals sector and contribute to energy security.
The QRCs Resources Policy portfolio is guided by key issues identified through QRC’s committees, working groups and commodity forums. Our workplan is strategically positioned to have significant impact on the Queensland Resources Industry Development Plan (QRIDP) outcomes, enabling the resources industry to contribute positively to the development of government policy, legislative and approvals processes to support the industry’s long-term sustainability and growth.
Our engagement extends across various government bodies, ensuring a comprehensive and coordinated approach to influence workable solutions for the longevity and growth of the Queensland resources industry.
