About A Little Bit of Queensland.
About the campaign.
This campaign shows how a small land footprint - about 0.1% of Queensland’s land - goes a long way. We share the facts, the stories and the ways royalties help fund essential services. The aim is simple: clear information, straight from the source.
Who we are.
A Little Bit of Queensland is an information campaign supported by the Queensland Resources Council (QRC). The QRC is Queensland’s not-for-profit peak industry association representing and advocating for the minerals and energy sector, a cornerstone of the state’s economy and communities.
Methodology.
QRC tracks industry spending by collecting member expenditure data to create a detailed overview of Queensland’s major export industry, analysed down to postcode levels.
Spending is categorised as direct and indirect. Direct spending is based on QRC members’ financial records, measuring expenditures through invoices. Indirect spending is estimated through economic modelling, gauging additional economic activity generated by direct spending.
For instance, when a resource company buys a vehicle (direct spending), the dealership’s income increases (indirect spending). Similarly, a resource employee’s wage (direct spending) spent on a car also boosts the regional economy (indirect spending). Indirect spending data, though not directly collected, is estimated through advanced economic modelling by an independent consultant.
