Australia’s National Resources Statement

The National Resources Statement sets out the government’s policy and long-term reform agenda for the Australian resources sector.

It includes a 5 point action plan to:

• deliver the most globally attractive and competitive investment destination for resources projects
• open up new industries and resources regions
• better focus the sector’s innovation, research and development on long-term, sectoral growth
• develop and retain the world’s best workforce
• deliver better outcomes for stronger and more engaged communities

This strategic long-term approach aims to position Australia’s resources sector as the world’s most advanced, innovative and successful.
