It was formed in response to recommendations of the Resources Task Force made the previous year.

In 2004, this resulted in the sector being recognised as one of the four key potential growth areas in the state's Second Economic Summit.

The RIDB also met with the Minister for Environment and Conservation, Hon John Hill to highlight key issues for the resources industry.
