Premier Steven Miles and Water Minister Glenn Butcher marked a significant milestone in the construction of the nearly $1 billion Fitzroy to Gladstone Pipeline in Australia. The project, with 63 kilometers of pipeline already laid, aims to provide long-term water security to Gladstone and support emerging industries like hydrogen. The $311 million investment in the 2024-25 State Budget is a part of the record $5.8 billion water infrastructure investment by the Miles Government, creating 400 jobs and supporting 25 apprenticeships. The pipeline, connecting the Fitzroy River to Gladstone, will boost water security, create job opportunities, and strengthen the region's economy. Additionally, the construction of two Aldoga Reservoirs is progressing, enhancing the existing water network. The project has generated $71.6 million for local businesses, with 111 Central Queensland businesses involved. Quotes from officials highlight the importance of the project in supporting local communities, upskilling the workforce, and driving economic growth. The completion of the pipeline is expected by 2026, contributing to Queensland's Energy and Jobs Plan. The positive sentiment and progress of the Fitzroy to Gladstone Pipeline signify a significant step towards a sustainable and prosperous future for the region.
