What is the Queensland Government's overall strategy to support Mount Isa?

The Mount Isa Transition Fund (MITF) structural adjustment package is just one approach that supports employment opportunities and encourages the economic revitalisation and community resilience of the Mount Isa region.

The broader transition for the Mount Isa community and economy will continue to be delivered in line with the North West Queensland Economic Diversification Strategy. This builds on the significant investment already underway in the region, including:

• $2.4 billion to deliver the CopperString 2032 project connecting North-West Queensland to the National Electricity Market and lowering energy prices for major projects
• $30 million for community infrastructure projects along the CopperString corridor.

Queensland Rail will introduce new incentives to reduce access charges on the Mount Isa rail line, providing significant savings for emerging rock phosphate producers.

The Queensland Government will continue to consult and partner with communities in the region.
