Subject: Oil vulnerability update and information paper - for comment

The Queensland Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has noted your previous interest in the issue of oil vulnerability. This email provides an update on the development of the Queensland Oil Vulnerability Mitigation Strategy and Action Plan (the oil strategy). 

The EPA is presently preparing the oil strategy as Queenslands response to the key recommendation of the Oil Vulnerability Taskforce Report (2007).

The oil strategy will include actions to help industry and community lessen their reliance on liquid fuels and prepare for demographic and regional changes as Queenslanders alter travel, work and living habits. 

The EPA intends to finalise the oil strategy by mid 2009. The Queensland Government has prepared an information paper Towards Oil Resilienceas the first step in developing policy options for inclusion in the oil strategy. 

Additionally, an independent interim research paper has been prepared, which models some of the implications of rising oil prices and oil vulnerability for Queensland. 

Your feedback on matters raised in the information paper is welcome. Please send comments to oil.mitigation at epa.qld.gov.au
