Queensland Ethanol Industry Action Plan 2005 – 2007
The Queensland Ethanol Industry Action Plan 2005 – 2007 was launched by the Premier of Queensland at the International Ethanol Conference held in Brisbane on 9 and 10 May 2005.

Under the Action Plan the State Government has committed $7.3 million over the next two years (2005/06 and 2006/07) for major programs to support development of the Queensland ethanol industry.

The primary objectives of the Action Plan are to:

Raise public awareness of and confidence in ethanol blended fuels;
Increase domestic demand and export capacity;
Create links between industry and the Queensland Government to promote a market for ethanol;
Assist the development of retail and distribution networks.
The Action Plan will play a significant part in State Government's drive to create an economically viable future for the ethanol industry in Queensland. Debunking the myths surrounding ethanol is a priority of the Action Plan. Implementation of the programs commence on 1 July 2005.
