On August 26, China Building Materials Federation and ICBC Brisbane Branch jointly held the "2025 Queensland Green Building Materials Cooperation Opportunities Seminar" in Brisbane, Australia. In his speech, Liu Jianhua, Vice President of
China Building Materials Federation, said that green development is the general trend of global industrial change and the core direction of Sino-Australian building materials cooperation. In recent years, China's building materials industry has deeply implemented the development goal of "being suitable for industry and benefiting mankind", and has achieved a series of results in product quality upgrading, technological research and development breakthroughs, and green production transformation. From low-carbon cement, energy-saving glass to new wall materials, from low-carbon production technology, green building materials application to circular economy mode, Chinese building materials enterprises not only meet the high-quality needs of the domestic market, have the hard power to participate in the global division of labor, but also have a strong desire to strengthen international cooperation and share development opportunities. We hope to take this seminar as an opportunity to build consensus, deepen cooperation, and jointly write a new chapter in the coordinated development of the building materials industry between China and Australia, so as to contribute to the green transformation and sustainable development of the two countries. In his speech, Gao Yan, general manager of ICBC
Brisbane Branch, said that Australia's history looks at Melbourne, now looks at Sydney, and the future looks at Brisbane. Queensland is the third largest state in Australia. It is rich in resources, including minerals and agricultural and animal husbandry products. It also has famous tourist areas such as the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and the Great Barrier Reef. The Brisbane Olympic Games in 2032 will bring new economic growth to the city. It is believed that Chinese enterprises will have good investment and development opportunities in Queensland and Brisbane in the future. Fu Jie, senior investment consultant of the Trade and Investment Department of the Queensland Government of
Australia, made a special report, introducing the investment environment of Queensland and the development plan of the Olympic project. He said Queensland's economic base was strong and stable, with a gross state product of a 511 billion in fiscal year 2024, up 2.1% year-on-year. The Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games will drive transformational infrastructure development, innovative breakthroughs and economic expansion, while rapid population growth and significant state projects are shaping a vibrant investment landscape. In the near future, Brisbane will invest 7.1 billion Australian yuan to build and upgrade 17 Olympic venues. It is suggested that Chinese building materials enterprises take the 2032 Olympic Games as an opportunity to actively participate in municipal renovation projects and Olympic construction projects.
The meeting also invited Professor Xi Yunfei, School of Chemistry and Physics, Queensland University of Science and Technology, Senior Customer Manager of ICBC Brisbane Branch, Cao Mingming, and Lawyer Miqiu of Gao Gates Law Firm. Special reports were made from the perspectives of the development status and innovative research of green building materials in Australia, the financial support for the investment and development of Chinese-funded enterprises in Australia, and the legal environment for investment in Australia. Australia-China Industry and Commerce Commission, Heilongjiang Building Materials Industry Association, Anhui Conch Cement Co., Ltd., Beijing Taining Kechuang Group Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Subot New Materials Co., Ltd., Jiangxi Yalitai Building Materials Co., Ltd., Jiumu Group, Matrak, Representatives of Bow Projects and other units have conducted in-depth exchanges on business development, cooperation intentions, future layout and development plans in Queensland and Australia. The holding of this
seminar is a positive action to deepen the practical cooperation between China and Australia in the building materials industry. Through exchanges, Chinese building materials enterprises have deepened their understanding of Queensland's infrastructure construction planning and investment policies, and Australian friends from all walks of life have seen the development of China's building materials industry and their desire for cooperation, laying a foundation for future cooperation between the two sides.
