Stanwell and Environs Industrial Development Strategy

Following the proposed establishment of a nationally significant magnesium processing plant to the west of Rockhampton in Central Queensland, the State Government sought to identify and plan for associated manufacturing activities that would link with, support, and build on the existing facility.

SGS examined the local, regional and global economic environment before identifying feasible opportunities for industrial employment in the area. Industries able to benefit from a location in the vicinity of the Stanwell Power Station and the proposed magnesium processing plant were the key candidates. Their development requirements were identified and appropriate development control and implementation actions were nominated.
