QLD Resources Industry Development Plan Submissions

The Queensland Government is developing a plan for the Resources Industry, but we say they need a plan for the future of regional Queensland.

Can you send a quick email to let the government know that business as usual will be a disaster for Queensland, and we need to protect the key assets that make our state great and a plan for the future as the world shifts away from fossil fuels?

We think the best plan is to levy the mining industry and use the money to invest in agriculture, manufacturing and renewables, whilst preventing mines in priority areas and cracking down on bad behaviour by the mining industry.

And of course, we want landholders, Traditional Owners and communities to have a legal right to say no to mining.

Subject:

2021 is a pivotal year for the resources industry in Queensland. For the first time, the International Energy Agency has stated that no new oil or gas fields and no new coal mines or expansions should be approved, and further, that no new investment in these resources is needed.

This should be the wake-up call that underpins the development of the Queensland Resources Industry Development Plan.

Ensuring that our state remains prosperous and thriving requires capitalising on our incredibly rich natural assets - our people, agricultural land, water resources and tourism icons - to propel us into the decades to come as our coal and gas industries inevitably dwindle.

The Queensland Resources Plan should focus on:

Reducing conflict and strictly protecting our incredible regional assets such as prime agricultural land, water and natural areas and ensuring cultural heritage sites are safe

Creating an economic plan, funded by royalties or a levy on the mining sector, for regional Queensland that promotes jobs in land restoration, advanced manufacturing, tourism and value-added agriculture as the coal and gas industries inevitably dwindle;

Providing landholders and Traditional Owners with a legal right to say no to mining and gas

Creating a world-class compliance and enforcement regime with strong public transparency that cracks down on bad behaviour by multinational mining companies and better protects communities and public health.

As a Queenslander, I value the incredible lifestyle we have in this State. This plan is an opportunity to ensure we are emphasising and valuing the best parts of our State - not undermining them in a last-ditch attempt to dig up and sell off resources that the world is turning its back on.

Thank you for undertaking this consultation.
