The judging panels for each of the three sectors (resources, ETS and energy) will discuss criteria assessments and make recommendations on the winning applicants to the Premier. The Premier's decision is final.
The panels have representatives from business, industry, Aboriginal Affairs, environmental management, engagement, social services and government, providing a wide range and depth of experience from government and industry sectors.
The judging panel for 2020 will be announced soon.
