Between 2016 and 2021 the Queensland Government has delivered its biggest suite of resource sector reforms in 20 years. These reforms aimed to improve the State’s rehabilitation outcomes, further cementing the Queensland resources sector leadership in rehabilitation. Changes were also made to how and who assesses the financial risk of companies and projects. Reflecting the crosscutting issues and the stakes involved, a whole-of-government team was established to develop and change legislation, update policies, engage stakeholders, improve implementation and ensure the right areas of government were managing the right risks.
