A decade of resources data!
The Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy has developed a new interactive tool based on a decade of data.
The interactive visualisation captures the extent of the state’s land, water and vegetation, key mineral and energy resources in charts and figures.
Use the tool to explore topical themes in resource management, filter facts and figures by region or resource, and customise graphs or tables.
