Queensland Treasurer Jackie Trad has indicated that coal royalties will not be increased in the state’s June 2019 Budget. However, she has not ruled out an increase in royalties if coal producers fail to contribute to the state government’s proposed community infrastructure fund. Trad has stressed that industry contributions to the fund are "completely voluntary". The government will contribute $30m to the fund, and it hopes the coal industry will pitch in with a further $70m.
