A Little Bit of Queensland

What does 0.1% look like?

A small land footprint delivering a big return for Queensland.

Queensland’s resources sector operates under some of the strictest and most transparent land-use and environmental frameworks in Australia. While the footprint of the industry is often perceived as large and sprawling, the reality is very different: at any one time, around 0.1% of Queensland’s land mass is used for resources operations.

This small footprint is carefully managed through a rigorous system designed to protect land, water and biodiversity, and ensure that resources projects coexist responsibly with other land uses.

From this footprint comes billions of dollars in investment, hundreds of thousands of jobs, and significant royalty revenue that help fund Queensland’s essential services like hospitals, schools, and transport. The sector’s contribution outweighs the land it uses, delivering long-term benefits for communities across the state.

‘A Little Bit of Queensland’ highlights the significant flow-on effects from the resources sector for Queensland jobs, businesses and community organisations using 0.1% of our state’s land.
