Major programs

Critical minerals

As a state rich in critical mineral deposits, Queensland is in a prime position to grow our mining, processing and manufacturing industries and create new revenue streams to benefit our communities and regions.

What we do

Our department’s purpose is to be a catalyst for stronger regions, economies and partnerships.

Partnerships with our customers and stakeholders are important to us, as we work to deliver policies, programs and services that support industry while reflecting the needs of communities across Queensland.
