How we co-designed Prosper 2050 and the actions
To commence the co-design of Prosper 2050, around 250 industry representatives from agriculture, fisheries, forestry, biosecurity, research, investment and government came together on 26 February 2025 at the Queensland Primary Industries Forum to discuss ideas.
The forum explored key factors that will influence Queensland’s primary industries, such as shifts in globalisation, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations, climate and labour needs, and the strategic opportunities offered by digital and technology, diversification, advanced manufacturing and international megatrends. You can view a summary of the forum discussions in the Document Library on this page.
The forum was followed by public consultation on the draft Prosper 2050across the state, where we heard from thousands of Queenslanders on their ideas and experiences.
The completed Prosper 2050 was released in August 2025, and we continued engagement to identify ideas to turn into actions to implement the Prosper vision. The focus of our actions is to reach the Government's goal to increase the value of Queensland’s primary industries to $30 billion by 2030, and to help secure timber supply to build one million homes by 2044.
Key engagement activities included:
-
Regional Industry and Government Working Groups with industry and stakeholder representatives from each region (north, central and south)
-
A statewide Industry Working Group for oversight of the actions
-
Queensland Future Timber Plan 2050 engagement including the Timber Supply Chain Ministerial Stakeholder Roundtable, stakeholder workshops, and consultations
-
Engagement with our fisheries, fishing and aquaculture businesses across the value chain, regional communities and First Nations peoples through dedicated regional and industry events.
Due to the success of the statewide industry forum we brought everyone together again in March 2026 to explore further industry challenges and opportunities for working together through Prosper 2050. The outcomes of the Forum are available in the Document Library on this page.
