Queensland appoints panel to review fly-in, fly-out mines

The Queensland Resources Council (QRC) on Thursday welcomed the state government’s appointment of a panel to review key drivers of Queensland’s fly-in, fly-out (Fifo) mines. A panel of resource community and sector leaders would look into the impact of Queensland’s existing 100% Fifo mines near regional communities, and would consider the current use of Fifo across Queensland. The panel would make recommendations to government about the best way forward to address issues with up to 100% Fifo arrangements.
