The Queensland Government has announced it will present a new strategy to put in palce for the Aurukun bauxite leases, with Deputy Premier Jeff Seeny saying it will put the leases back on the market in the near future.

 

“I will take a new strategy to cabinet over the next couple of months and we will look at putting the leases on the market to get value for Queenslanders,” Mr Seeney said.



Mr Seeney said in the interim the Government would focus on getting major projects in the Galilee Basin up and running. 



“The South of Embley bauxite and Alpha Coal mines remain top priorities for the Government and we need to get these projects up and running for the benefit of the Queensland economy.”
