QRC sets out plan to ensure Qld resources sector’s competitiveness

The Queensland Resources Council (QRC) on Friday outlined a six-point plan which it said would ensure the Queensland resources sector was globally competitive and well positioned to take advantage of the next upturn in demand. QRC CEO Michael Roche told an industry lunch that under the six-point plan, federal and state governments had to close legal loopholes to limit the “disrupt and delay” tactics being used by environmental activists, and must ensure that infrastructure such as rail and port capacity was improved to keep pace with current and future demand.
