Resourcing Australia's Prosperity - 10-year roadmap (2024-2034)

Resourcing Australia’s Prosperity is a landmark initiative that will secure Australia’s future as a global supplier of the resources necessary for the net-zero transition. An ambitious $3.4 billion, 35-year (2024-2059) investment in precompetitive geoscience by the Australian Government, Resourcing Australia’s Prosperity will play a key role in unlocking new opportunities to support a thriving and resilient national economy and a Future Made in Australia. This initiative focuses on mapping our potential for critical minerals and strategic materials, hydrogen and carbon storage, and offshore renewable energy. It will also map the groundwater systems that support the development of these resources, contribute to our water and food security, and bolster our climate resilience. Resourcing Australia’s Prosperity will drive economic growth and create jobs in the global shift to a net-zero economy. By partnering with government and other research partners, this initiative also lays the groundwork for a prosperous, competitive and sustainable future.
