Draft State Planning Policy 2026 – Mining and Extractive Resources State Interest
QRC supports the overall direction of the Draft SPP and welcomes the continued recognition of mining and extractive resources as a State interest. In particular, the Draft
SPP requires planning and development outcomes to identify and consider mineral, coal, petroleum and gas resources, including resource authorities for production or
development, together with key associated supply-chain infrastructure. It also prioritises mutually beneficial coexistence with compatible land uses where resource extraction is
not compromised. While supporting this approach, QRC considers the final SPP should provide a clear and appropriately proportionate basis for protecting mineral, coal,
petroleum and gas resources from development that would materially compromise their current or future recovery.
