Regional Benefits

 

ECONOMIC BENEFITS

The Gemini Project will provide opportunities across the region for local residents and businesses, creating a positive impact economically by:

  • Employing a workforce of up to 230 workers during the construction phase of mine development

  • Employing a rail development workforce of 30 workers during the construction

  • Employing an operational workforce of up to 330 full-time jobs for plant operators, truck drivers, electricians fixed and mobile plant maintenance workers

  • Providing workers direct skills development and training opportunities

  • Strengthening local business by increasing demand for goods and services

  • Increasing employment opportunities in local business due to the increased demand

Further, we will recruit locally based workers by working with the Central Highland Regional Development workforce vacancy and notification program. 

We will ensure worker accommodation complies with the Queensland Government rules for the region and that there is little impact on the region's community, social and human services. 


INFRASTRUCTURE BENEFITS

The construction phase of the project will provide infrastructure upgrades for the region, which will include:​

  • Extending the existing supply pipeline

  • Enhancing the energy distribution network by increasing demand
