Environment and Resource Management

Strategic plans

The department’s strategic plans provide specific details on how we propose to conserve and manage our environment and natural resources for the benefit of all Queenslanders.

The Queensland Government’s vision for the future of Queensland, Toward Q2: Tomorrow’s Queensland is a key consideration in developing these plans. 

Strategic plan 2009–13

The department's strategic plan sets the way forward with a clear direction and vision for the department and the basis for detailed planning activities over the next four years.
