Victorian Critical Minerals Roadmap Update 2026

The Victorian Critical Minerals Roadmap Update 2026 sets out the next stage of Victoria’s work to build a responsible and globally competitive critical minerals sector. Building on the Victorian Critical Minerals Roadmap released in 2024, the Update shifts from policy direction to practical action.

The Update builds on the 2024 Roadmap through four themes:

  • Identify future development opportunities.
  • Be a safe, stable and predictable jurisdiction.
  • Secure our place in the global supply chain.
  • Embed social and environmental best practice.
