Queensland Resources Industry Development Plan (QRIDP)
Program / SchemeReferenced in 3 bills
Mineral and Energy Resources and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill overhauls Queensland's framework for managing the coexistence of resources, renewable energy and agricultural industries. It creates a new system for assessing and compensating CSG-induced subsidence damage to farmland, broadens Queensland's coexistence institutions to cover renewable energy, modernises the Financial Provisioning Scheme for mine rehabilitation, and streamlines regulatory processes across more than a dozen resources-related Acts.
Clean Economy Jobs Bill 2024
This bill puts Queensland's greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets into law — 30% reduction by 2030, 75% by 2035, and net zero by 2050. It creates a framework for planning how different sectors of the economy will reduce emissions, sets up an expert advisory panel, and requires the government to report progress to Parliament every year.
Coal Mining Safety and Health and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill amends coal mining safety laws and several resources Acts. It provides practical exceptions to the requirement that safety-critical position holders at coal mines must be directly employed by the mine operator, and creates a rent deferral scheme for critical minerals mining leases.
