The Queensland government has announced a multimillion-dollar stimulus package to support the survival and revival of Queensland’s explorers to maintain the state’s pipeline of resources projects and jobs. The package will include a 12-month waiver of rent on exploration land due between April and September, a freeze on fees and charges until July 2021, releasing nearly 7 000 km2 of land for gas and mineral exploration later this month, and bringing forward A$2.8-million in grant funds for innovative exploration in the North West Minerals Province.
