The Ministerial Council on Mineral and Petroleum Resources (MCMPR) has adopted a long term, strategic Vision for Australia's minerals and petroleum industry. The Council also endorsed an agenda for achieving the Vision. Encompassing the three strategic priorities already adopted by the Council (competitiveness, sustainability and Indigenous relations), the agenda lists a number of priority actions which the Council will undertake in pursuit of the Vision. The Vision and its accompanying agenda will direct the work program of the Council into the future, ensuring that it is targeted towards maintaining Australia as a world class mineral and petroleum resource province which enhances the sector's contribution to national wellbeing.
