Liberal National Party leader Deb Frecklington said she would consider calls at the LNP state convention to establish a science review office.
Former state MP Andrew Cripps said the office would be able to ratify or reject scientific reports handed to the government, which can then be used to reinforce decision-making.
But some LNP members raised concerns that a science office could be used by the opposition to discredit the party when research is rejected.
