Mr Kim WoodPrincipal CommissionerQueensland Productivity CommissionPO Box 12112George StreetBRISBANE QLD 4003

Dear^rJAWod KtM

Inquiry into Queensland Manufacturing

I am writing to direct the Queensland Productivity Commission to undertake an Inquiry into Queensland Manufacturing, pursuant to section 23 of the Queensland Productivity Commission Act 2015. The Inquiry should also include a review of international reshoring initiatives.

Queensland's manufacturing sector is a significant contributor to employment, as well as regional and economic growth within the State. Manufacturing also has a strong regional presence and is a significant employer in regional economies.

In 2014-15, Queensland’s manufacturing sector:

• represented $20.3 billion (7.1 per cent) of State output;

• directly employed 169,700 persons (December quarter 2015);

• contributed $15.9 billion (33.8 per cent) of the total value of Queensland's international merchandise exports; and

• invested $2.29 billion in private new capital expenditure (nominal terms).

A key priority for Government is ensuring that Queensland’s manufacturing sector continues to remain globally competitive, productive and innovative, and generates jobs into the future.

While there are significant emerging opportunities, the manufacturing sector is also facing a number of challenges including business costs and regulation, skills shortages and strong emerging international competition.

The objective of the Inquiry is to develop policy options to improve the productivity and competitiveness of the Queensland manufacturing sector.

RTI Document No. 29

RTI R

Page 17: Hi Louise ASE - Queensland Treasury · PDF fileGregory Tonks Friday, ... Adam Pennicott wrote: Hi Louise Thanks Adam Adam Pennicott Principal Treasury Analyst ... Sorry hot topic today

This should include a focus on identifying opportunities to maximise existing advantages, improve weaknesses and take advantage of emerging domestic and international opportunities.

The Inquiry should encompass Queensland’s more traditional manufacturing base in agriculture and resources, and have a particular focus on high-value (advanced) manufacturing sectors including health, mining, transport and environment.

The attached Terms of Reference detail the scope of the Inquiry and matters the Commission should investigate and report on, consultation requirements and reporting obligations.

Should you have any queries in relation to this matter, please contact Mr Greg Tonks, Assistant Under Treasurer, Queensland Treasury on (07) 3035 1487.

Terms of Reference

Inquiry into Queensland Manufacturing

In accordance with section 23 of the Queensland Productivity Commission Act 2015, I hereby direct the Commission to undertake an Inquiry into Queensland Manufacturing, including a review of international reshoring initiatives.

Background

Queensland's manufacturing sector is a significant contributor to employment, as well as regional and economic growth within the State. In 2014-15, the industry contributed over $20 billion to the Queensland economy. Despite this significant contribution, manufacturing's share of State output declined from around 12 per cent in 1989-90 to around 7 per cent in 2014-15.

While there are significant emerging opportunities, the manufacturing sector is also facing a number of challenges including business costs and regulation, skills shortages and strong emerging international competition. To remain competitive, the manufacturing sector will need to adapt and reposition itself to address these challenges and take advantage of emerging opportunities. This will include building the management and workforce skills and knowledge required to drive productivity and innovation.

Opportunities exist for the manufacturing sector to build on existing competitive advantages and advanced manufacturing niches, gain access to new domestic and international supply chains and other value-adding market opportunities, capitalise on export opportunities, apply advanced technologies, and foster a highly skilled manufacturing workforce. A reinvigorated manufacturing sector, using advanced manufacturing techniques in particular, has the potential to bring significant productivity gains and employment growth.

To achieve this, it is essential that the State's manufacturing businesses operate within a supportive business environment that encourages innovation, investment and growth.

Scope

The objective of the Inquiry is to develop policy options to improve the productivity and competitiveness of the manufacturing sector in Queensland. In this regard, the Inquiry should focus on opportunities to maximise existing advantages, improve weaknesses and take advantage of emerging domestic and international opportunities.

In undertaking the Inquiry, the Commission should investigate and report on:

1. the role of the manufacturing sector in advancing economic growth and productivity in Queensland;

2. the changing nature of Queensland manufacturing, including its composition, location, employment size and structure, and linkages with service industries and international supply chains;

3. the manufacturing sector's performance and potential, including a focus on employment and exports;

4. the characteristics of a productive and competitive manufacturing sector (noting the diverse nature of manufacturing in Queensland), including a focus on innovation and skills utilisation to promote longer term productivity improvements;

5. opportunities to improve the performance, productivity and competitiveness of the Queensland manufacturing sector;

6. experience from other jurisdictions, including in respect of reshoring initiatives (for example, the reshoring initiative in the United Kingdom);

RTI R

ELEA

SE

Page 19: Hi Louise ASE - Queensland Treasury · PDF fileGregory Tonks Friday, ... Adam Pennicott wrote: Hi Louise Thanks Adam Adam Pennicott Principal Treasury Analyst ... Sorry hot topic today

7. the regulatory framework for manufacturing in Queensland, including changes that would reduce the regulatory burden on the manufacturing sector; and

8. the effectiveness of current policy settings for the manufacturing sector, and changes that would facilitate improved performance, productivity and competitiveness.

Public consultation

In accordance with section 25 of the Queensland Productivity Commission Act 2015, the Commission must undertake public consultation in relation to the Inquiry. This should include consultation with a diverse range of stakeholder groups including large and small manufacturers, key interest groups and affected parties, the Industry and Manufacturing Advisory Group, regulatory bodies, employee associations, government agencies, councils and research bodies.

Reporting

The Commission is required to publish a Draft Report for consultation by 31 May 2017.

The Final Report must be provided to Government by 31 August 2017.

OPC Work program since completion of electricity review.

• In addition to its ongoing regulatory review and competitive neutrality functions, the QPC undertakes inquiries on matters related to productivity, economic development or industry.

• Inquiries:

- The QPC’s first major tasks were inquiries into electricity pricing and solar feed-in pricing in Queensland. This was a significant body of work, with the QPC delivering final reports on the electricity pricing and solar feed-in pricing inquiries to Government on 31 May 2016 and 20 June 2016 respectively.

- The Treasurer wrote to the QPC today (15 September 2016) directing it to undertake a review into the manufacturing industry.

• Ongoing regulatory review functions:

- The Commission assists agencies to undertake quality assessments of regulatory proposals to support good policy development, consistent with best practice principles.

- Between 1 July 2015 and 30 June 2016, the Commission assessed over 400 proposals.

- From 1 July 2016 to 15 September 2016, the Commission reviewed 89 proposals.

• Competitive neutrality functions:

- The Commission receives, investigates and provides recommendations on competitive neutrality complaints on state and local government business activities.

- Upon commencement of the QPC Act and Regulations in late 2015, four active competitive neutrality investigations transferred to the Commission from the Queensland Competition Authority (the Commission received three further complaints, however the requirements for initiating an investigation were not met).

- These are expected to be finalised in the first half of 2016-17.

- The Commission is preparing two productivity-related research papers covering Queensland’s productivity performance and urban productivity issues. (Louise - QPC advises that no decision has been made or authorisation given re publication of these papers).

• Speaking events

- Awaiting info from QPC.

Terms of Reference

Inquiry into Queensland Manufacturing

In accordance with section 23 of the Queensland Productivity Commission Act 2015, I hereby direct the Commission to undertake an Inquiry into Queensland Manufacturing, including a review of international reshoring initiatives.

Background

Queensland's manufacturing sector is a significant contributor to employment, as well as regional and economic growth within the State. In 2014-15, the industry contributed over $20 billion to the Queensland economy. Despite this significant contribution, manufacturing's share of State output declined from around 12 per cent in 1989-90 to around 7 per cent in 2014-15.

While there are significant emerging opportunities, the manufacturing sector is also facing a number of challenges including business costs and regulation, skills shortages and strong emerging international competition. To remain competitive, the manufacturing sector will need to adapt and reposition itself to address these challenges and take advantage of emerging opportunities. This will include building the management and workforce skills and knowledge required to drive productivity and innovation.

Opportunities exist for the manufacturing sector to build on existing competitive advantages and advanced manufacturing niches, gain access to new domestic and international supply chains and other value-adding market opportunities, capitalise on export opportunities, apply advanced technologies, and foster a highly skilled manufacturing workforce. A reinvigorated manufacturing sector, using advanced manufacturing techniques in particular, has the potential to bring significant productivity gains and employment growth.

To achieve this, it is essential that the State's manufacturing businesses operate within a supportive business environment that encourages innovation, investment and growth.

Scope

The objective of the Inquiry is to develop policy options to improve the productivity and competitiveness of the manufacturing sector in Queensland. In this regard, the Inquiry should focus on opportunities to maximise existing advantages, improve weaknesses and take advantage of emerging domestic and international opportunities.

In undertaking the Inquiry, the Commission should investigate and report on:

1. the role of the manufacturing sector in advancing economic growth and productivity in Queensland;

2. the changing nature of Queensland manufacturing, including its composition, location, employment size and structure, and linkages with service industries and international supply chains;

3. the manufacturing sector's performance and potential, including a focus on employment and exports;

4. the characteristics of a productive and competitive manufacturing sector (noting the diverse nature of manufacturing in Queensland), including a focus on innovation and skills utilisation to promote longer term productivity improvements;

5. opportunities to improve the performance, productivity and competitiveness of the Queensland manufacturing sector;

6. experience from other jurisdictions, including in respect of reshoring initiatives (for example, the reshoring initiative in the United Kingdom);

RTI R

SE

Page 35: Hi Louise ASE - Queensland Treasury · PDF fileGregory Tonks Friday, ... Adam Pennicott wrote: Hi Louise Thanks Adam Adam Pennicott Principal Treasury Analyst ... Sorry hot topic today

7. the regulatory framework for manufacturing in Queensland, including changes that would reduce the regulatory burden on the manufacturing sector; and

8. the effectiveness of current policy settings for the manufacturing sector, and changes that would facilitate improved performance, productivity and competitiveness.

Public consultation

In accordance with section 25 of the Queensland Productivity Commission Act 2015, the Commission must undertake public consultation in relation to the Inquiry. This should include consultation with a diverse range of stakeholder groups including large and small manufacturers, key interest groups and affected parties, the Industry and Manufacturing Advisory Group, regulatory bodies, employee associations, government agencies, councils and research bodies.

Reporting

The Commission is required to publish a Draft Report for consultation by 31 May 2017.

The Final Report must be provided to Government by 31 August 2017.

sector in the Government’s jobs plan, including a focus on

niche and high-value markets.

By reviewing reshoring experiences internationally, the

Commission will be able to assess whether and how the

Government can assist in bringing good, well-paying

manufacturing jobs back to Queensland. It may be

through assisting companies in properly assessing

reshoring costs. It may not be the case that overseas

options are always cheaper.

Manufacturing could benefit significantly from reshoring .

In the UK, reshoring created additional jobs in sectors

ranging from textiles to electrical equipment and other

machinery. It also assisted job creation in the services

sector with some UK data suggesting that significant

numbers of additional jobs could be created over the next

decade in the research and development, back-office

services and telecommunications sectors.

MINISTERIAL STATEMENT THE HONOURABLE CURTIS PITT MP

TREASURER, MINISTER FOR EMPLOYMENT AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, MINISTER FOR ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER PARTNERSHIPS—

QUEENSLAND PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION WORK PROGRAM

Mr Speaker,...

The establishment of the Queensland Productivity Commission

was a key election commitment of the Government. The

Commission was established to provide independent economic

and policy advice, with the goal of increasing productivity, driving

economic growth and improving living standards in Queensland.

The QPC’s first major tasks were inquiries into electricity pricing

and solar feed-in pricing in Queensland.

Electricity prices soared under the previous Government, with

annual increases in the double-digits.

To ensure no stone is left unturned in considering options to put

terms of reference for the electricity inquiries. This was a

significant body of work for the Commission, and final reports have

now been provided to Government.

The Government is carefully considering the Commission’s

findings and recommendations, and will release a comprehensive

response within six months of receiving the reports, as required

under the Queensland Productivity Commission Act 2015.

With the completion of these inquiries, I will soon be directing the

It also mentions how the Inquiry complements the DSD road map work... Treasury officers cleared the Min Stat with DSD officers apparently.Louise

MINISTERIAL STATEMENT THE HONOURABLE CURTIS PITT MP

TREASURER, MINISTER FOR EMPLOYMENT AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, MINISTER FOR ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER PARTNERSHIPS—

QUEENSLAND PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION WORK PROGRAM

Mr Speaker,...

The establishment of the Queensland Productivity Commission

was a key election commitment of the Government. The

Commission was established to provide independent economic

and policy advice, with the goal of increasing productivity, driving

economic growth and improving living standards in Queensland.

The QPC’s first major tasks were inquiries into electricity pricing

and solar feed-in pricing in Queensland.

Electricity prices soared under the previous Government, with

annual increases in the double-digits.

Page 74: Hi Louise ASE - Queensland Treasury · PDF fileGregory Tonks Friday, ... Adam Pennicott wrote: Hi Louise Thanks Adam Adam Pennicott Principal Treasury Analyst ... Sorry hot topic today

To ensure no stone is left unturned in considering options to put

downward pressure on prices, the Government set wide-ranging

terms of reference for the electricity inquiries. This was a

significant body of work for the Commission, and final reports have

now been provided to Government.

The Government is carefully considering the Commission’s

findings and recommendations, and will release a comprehensive

response within six months of receiving the reports, as required

under the Queensland Productivity Commission Act 2015.

With the completion of these inquiries, I will soon be directing the

Commission to commence an inquiry into Queensland

manufacturing.

The objective of the manufacturing inquiry is to develop policy

options to improve the productivity and competitiveness of the

manufacturing sector in Queensland. This will include a review of

international reshoring initiatives, which was an election

commitment that highlighted the importance of the manufacturing

sector in the Government’s jobs plan, including a focus on niche

and high-value markets.

Growth in Queensland’s manufacturing sector is central to the

rebalancing of the State economy following the end of the very

high resources-investment period. In 2014-15, manufacturing

contributed around $20.3 billion to the Queensland economy, and

accounted for $15.9 billion in international exports, making it one of

the largest export industries in Queensland.

Queensland’s manufacturing sector is a significant contributor to

employment, as well as regional and economic growth within the

State. Manufacturing directly employed 168,800 persons in

Queensland in the June quarter 2016.

A key priority for Government is ensuring that the sector continues

to remain globally competitive, productive and innovative, and

generates jobs into the future.

The inquiry will also complement work being led by the

Department of State Development on the Advanced Manufacturing

10-year Roadmap and Action Plan, which is one of a series of

roadmaps for priority industries that will guide how industry and

Government work together for the next 10 years. The

Commission will liaise closely with relevant agencies to build on

the work and consultations that have occurred on the Roadmap,

and utilise the significant existing knowledge base on the sector.

While the manufacturing inquiry led by the Commission will have a

focus on high-value advanced manufacturing sectors including

health, mining, transport and the environment, the scope of the

inquiry will also encompass Queensland’s more traditional

manufacturing base, including agriculture and resources. The

inquiry will also benefit from the Commission’s expertise in

providing an independent, in-depth economic analysis of complex

policy issues, and proposing recommendations to Government.

On an ongoing basis, the QPC will also investigate and report on

Queensland’s productivity performance, drivers of growth and

industry trends, and continue its standing regulatory review and

competitive neutrality functions.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing has been forgotten by the Newman LNP Government, abandoned outside the so-called "Four Pillars". Labor will work assiduously with industry/ unions and other stakeholders to re-position our manufacturing sector. Possibly more than any other sector, manufacturing stands to benefit from the importance highlighted in this jobs plan of focusing on niche and high end value markets.

Labor will, in its first term, ask the proposed Queensland Productivity Commission to undertake a thorough study of the success and learnings of the UK Reshoring ^initiative, and other related reshoring programs elsewhere in Europe. Labor also commits to:

• assigning a Minister responsible for Industry and Manufacturing . establishing a voluntary Industry and Manufacturing Advisory Group, reporting to the Minister, with high level representation from industry, government and unions

» supporting a Federal Inquiry Into the use and economic impact of section 457 visas.

-The Treasurer signed the Manufacturing Inquiry Direction Notice so the QPC should receive the Notice very soon- The Treasurer would like the Red Tape Reduction Work the QPC are doing to be a 'Direction' from him as it formally signals the government commitment to reduce red tape.- No Commissioner to be appointed for Ml

MINISTERIAL STATEMENT THE HONOURABLE CURTIS PITT MP

TREASURER, MINISTER FOR EMPLOYMENT AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, MINISTER FOR ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER PARTNERSHIPS—

QUEENSLAND PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION WORK PROGRAM

Mr Speaker,...

The establishment of the Queensland Productivity Commission

was a key election commitment of the Government. The

Commission was established to provide independent economic

and policy advice, with the goal of increasing productivity, driving

economic growth and improving living standards in Queensland.

The QPC’s first major tasks were inquiries into electricity pricing

and solar feed-in pricing in Queensland.

Electricity prices soared under the previous Government, with

annual increases in the double-digits.

To ensure no stone is left unturned in considering options to put

downward pressure on prices, the Government set wide-ranging

terms of reference for the electricity inquiries. This was a

significant body of work for the Commission, and final reports have

now been provided to Government.

The Government is carefully considering the Commission’s

findings and recommendations, and will release a comprehensive

response within six months of receiving the reports, as required

under the Queensland Productivity Commission Act 2015.

With the completion of these inquiries, I will soon be directing the

Commission to commence an inquiry into Queensland

manufacturing, as well as a review of Indigenous communities’

service delivery later in the year.

The objective of the manufacturing inquiry is to develop policy

options to improve the productivity and competitiveness of the

manufacturing sector in Queensland. This will include a review of

international reshoring initiatives, which was an election

commitment.

Growth in Queensland’s manufacturing sector is central to the

rebalancing of the State economy following the end of the very

high resources-investment period.

Queensland’s manufacturing sector is a significant contributor to

employment, as well as regional and economic growth within the

State. A key priority for Government is ensuring that the sector

continues to remain globally competitive, productive and

innovative, and generates jobs into the future.

The review of Indigenous communities’ service delivery will

commence late in 2016, and will evaluate the value for money that

Government investment is achieving in key communities/areas of

Aurukun, Lockhart River, Yarrabah, Palm Island and the Torres

Strait. Although some work is underway, the Commission will

provide independent economic policy advice to Government and

undertake public consultation.

On an ongoing basis, the QPC will also investigate and report on

Queensland’s productivity performance, drivers of growth and

industry trends, and continue its standing regulatory review and

competitive neutrality functions.

Hi Kel

Just wanted to update you on a few things - Principal Commissioner would be aware of all this so Sonj will no doubt give you a call...

-The Treasurer signed the Manufacturing Inquiry Direction Notice so the QPC should receive the Notice very soon- The Treasurer would like the Red Tape Reduction Work the QPC are doing to be a 'Direction' from him as it formally signals the government commitment to reduce red tape.- No Commissioner to be appointed for Ml

Thanks
