2025 Policy Priorities
Supporting the Resources Sector and the State

SACOME’s 2025 Policy Priorities continue a program of sustained advocacy aimed at resolving long-standing barriers to growth of the South Australian resources sector.

This program of advocacy also advances new initiatives that reflect emerging issues of importance.
Key to this outcome is ongoing collaboration between industry and government, recognising that continuing engagement on regulatory and policy matters is crucial to achieving our shared objectives, including:

• Continued investment in industry-enabling infrastructure;
• Development and maturation of the State’s nascent green industries, including hydrogen and renewable energy production in the Upper Spencer Gulf;
• Development of a world-class copper province in the Far North;
• The manufacture of low carbon iron and steel in the Upper Spencer Gulf;
• Ensuring the orderly energy transformation and decarbonisation of the resources sector  in a rapidly changing energy system;
• Continued support for the role of gas for electricity generation and in industrial processes, supported by use of carbon capture and storage;
• Engagement and advocacy on key areas of legislative reform; and
• Investment in STEM education and digital infrastructure to enable a future workforce.

On behalf of its members, SACOME remains committed to working with all stakeholders for the continued development of the South Australian resources sector and the economic, social and environmental benefit of the State.
