The Queensland government will brief stakeholders on its plan to use mining royalties for education programs.
Premier Anna Bligh has promised a re-elected Labor government would quarantine 50 per cent of state royalties from the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry for a new education fund.
The Mines to Minds policy, announced last week, will set aside an estimated $1.8 billion over the next 10 years, and more beyond that.
The government had received 100 responses a day to an online survey on the policy, with 72 per cent of respondents in favour of it, Ms Bligh said.
She said stakeholders would be invited to attend a meeting about the policy on December 12.
