Queensland is one of Australia’s most significant resources states, and the largest state by export volume on the east coast. Its diverse resource-based economy is centred around coal, gas and minerals.

The resources industry creates and sustains jobs and supports local communities in all parts of the state. It also delivers direct economic returns to the state budget through royalties, the majority of which come from coal mining.

Coal producers pay those royalties to the people of Queensland when they sell Queensland coal to customers across the world.

NQXT Pty Ltd and the North Queensland Export Terminal plays an important role in this economic network by enabling the efficient export of our customers’ commodities.

Resources royalties provide economic and community benefits to all parts of Queensland, such as providing revenue to Government that can be used for the construction of hospitals, roads, schools and other infrastructure.

Alongside this statewide economic return, we prioritise economic value for the local community where we operate.
