The convergence of national investment, state-level strategic planning and WA’s unique geological endowment creates a rare moment where geoscience can directly shape the State’s economic future.
Several national and state strategies place geoscience at the heart of Australia’s economic and environmental future. These include:
- Australia’s Critical Minerals Strategy
- WA’s Battery and Critical Minerals Strategy
- WA’s Renewable Hydrogen Strategy
- WA’s CCUS Action Plan
- WA’s 10-Year Science and Technology Plan
GSWA’s five-year geoscience plan outlines a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape the State’s transition to a diversified, low-carbon economy, while strengthening the long-term exploration ecosystem by supporting the infrastructure, expertise and services required to deliver high-quality pre-competitive geoscience.
