Consultation paper released for WA’s Battery and Critical Minerals Strategy

The Western Australian (WA) Government has released a consultation paper for its planned refresh of the State’s Battery and Critical Minerals Strategy.

In a statement, the State Government noted that WA has significantly accelerated the growth of value-adding battery and critical minerals industries since the inception of the Battery and Critical Minerals Strategy.

According to Minister Johnston, a diversified battery industry is predicted to generate nearly $17 billion in gross value added and create over 61,000 jobs by 2030, a significant increase from 2021’s initial estimate.

The strategy aims to expand WA’s battery and critical minerals industries, focusing on domestic value-adding and manufacturing.
