The Queensland government has updated its 10-year Advanced Manufacturing Roadmap, providing guidelines on how companies can adapt to the state’s clean energy and decarbonisation agenda.
The update follow the release of Queensland’s Energy and Jobs Plan, which sets the target for 70 per cent of the state’s energy being renewable by 2032.
Regional development and manufacturing minister Glenn Butcher said, “We’re talking about 100,000 new industrial jobs in hydrogen, renewables, manufacturing, and critical minerals.
“Manufacturing contributes more than $20 billion a year to the Queensland economy. It’s crucial we support this sector and give our competitive, world-leading manufacturers every opportunity to thrive and grow.”
Informed by engagement with manufacturers around the state and guided by the Manufacturing Ministerial Council, the new action plan will focus on five areas to boost Queensland manufacturing:
Strategy 1: Drive Advanced Manufacturing in Queensland
Strategy 2: Support manufacturers to grow in a carbon neutral future
Strategy 3: Support manufacturers to take advantage of large scale and emerging industry and procurement opportunities
Strategy 4: Increase the participation of women in manufacturing
Strategy 5: Marketing Queensland Manufacturing.
