QEAS clients Crisis & Comms, Interactive Games & Entertainment Association (IGEA) and Gameloft have collectively achieved an outstanding advocacy win with the announcement by the Queensland Government of a 15 per cent rebate for a Post-Production, Digital and Visual Effects (PDV) incentive scheme.
Economic impact analysis prepared by QEAS indicated that for every $1 million spent on the proposed PDV incentive:
- 18.8 jobs would be created; and
- $5.8 million in direct Queensland economic activity would be generated.
This is an excellent example of the power of evidenced based advocacy.
Through the scheme the State’s games development sector will continue to grow and no doubt the next global games developer establishing in Australia will choose Queensland as their home.
