Announcing our new CRC partnership

We are delighted to announce that AGRF is a partner in the CRC for Transformations in Mining Economies (CRC-TiME)!

The successful outcome was announced by the Hon Karen Andrews MP and Hon Keith Pitt MP in a joint statement on Friday 13th March. In the statement, they explained that this new CRC will work to ensure a sustainable future for our mining towns in rural and regional Australia.

The Hon Karen Andrews MP and Hon Keith Pitt MP stated, “Australia’s world-class mining expertise is undeniable, but being a global resources powerhouse means ensuring a sustainable future for our mining towns in rural and regional Australia.

“This new CRC will provide the tools for towns and regions to navigate opportunities to create new jobs and development that keep communities strong.

“The Government and the resources industry recognise more needs to be done to diversify the economy of some local communities which are highly dependent on individual mining projects. The work of CRC-TiME will help mining communities broaden their local economies so they can continue to grow and stay strong.”
