A Little Bit of QLD Goes A Long Way.

Queensland’s resources sector uses 0.1% of our state’s land - but it helps to fund hospitals, schools, roads and jobs right across the state. In 2024-25 alone, the sector contributed $115.2 billion to the state economy, supported more than 549,000 jobs, and paid $7.9 billion in royalties to the state Government.

Its land footprint may be small, but the sector leaves a big mark where it matters. From the Surat Basin in the southwest to Central Queensland’s Bowen Basin, to the North West Minerals Province, every tonne mined and every project approved, helps power Queensland’s economy and create opportunities for communities and businesses.

This is an industry that:

Funds hospitals, schools, transport and frontline services through billions in annual royalties.

Supports hundreds of thousands of jobs, both directly and through supply chains across the state.

Keeps regional businesses thriving, from contractors and engineers to cafes, tradies and local tourism operators.

Partners with communities, investing in training, apprentices, local events and long-term economic development.

Operates on 0.1% of the state’s land, with strict environmental standards and progressive rehabilitation built into every project.

A little bit of QLD. A lot of impact. With benefits felt in every corner of the state.
