Darling Downs projects

If you are a Queensland manufacturer or related service provider looking for major project work make sure you are registered with ICN (QLD) or your existing registration is up to date.

If you are a Queensland small business in the building and construction industry, such as electrician, bricklayer, landscaper or builder, especially in regional Queensland, there is no need to register with ICN (Qld), just keep an eye out for project or opportunity briefing in your region.

If you are a buyer and need further assistance to optimize your project in Queensland make sure you contact ICN (QLD).

Fairview Power Project new 100 MW gas-fired power station near Injune aims to generate electricity from methane extracted from coal seams located too deep underground to be mined 445 Committed Darling Downs-South West
Hunter Gas Pipeline Project: Approximately 200 km of the pipeline (total length 850 km) is within Queensland. A major driver of the proposal is to provide the missing link in the east Australian network and provide additional security of gas supply to Sydney and Newcastle. 700 Under Study Downs-South West

Nathan Dam Development: (inc. pipelines) the project will require assessment and approval under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) before it can proceed 400 EIS Darling Downs
New Acland Coal Mine expansion: 14 kilometres north-northwest of Oakey and 35 kilometres northwest of Toowoomba. New Acland Coal Pty Ltd (NAC), the proponent, proposes to develop the New Acland Coal Mine Stage 3 Expansion project. The project involves the progressive expansion of the existing New Acland Coal Mine and associated infrastructure to increase coal production from 4 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) to 10 Mtpa for the domestic and export markets and to secure a reliable coal supply for a possible future alternative fuels project. 500 Basic Engineering Darling Downs

New England Highway 26 Committed Darling Downs
Surat Basin Railway (Southern Missing Link): 207km link the towns of Wandoan and Banana to the Port of Gladstone. Railway is likely to initially consist of single track with passing loops at approximately 25km intervals that will be able to accommodate trains approximately 2.4km in length. Construction will be undertaken with multiple work fronts and require a workforce currently estimated at an average of 400-600 personnel over a duration of approximately two and a half years. 800-1,000 EIS Darling Downs-South West-Fitzroy
Southern Queensland Institute of TAFE - Toowoomba automotive 2.645 Construction Darling Downs
Spring Gully Power Station 80 km north-east of Roma. Delayed with construction of Darling Downs Power Station @ Braemar. 1000 On hold Darling Downs-South West
Sunstate Gas to Liquids Project: World scale project to convert coal seam methane to ultra clean diesel to produce 17,000 barrel per day or six million barrels per year of refined product to cost approximately (AUD) $1.5 billion Expected to begin construction in 2010 and completion 2015 1500 Feasibility Darling Downs
Toowoomba Pipeline: The proposed 38 km pipeline will run from the Wivenhoe Dam intake point at Paddy Gully Road and continue west past the township of Esk, through the Deowongar State Forest to Cressbrook Dam. The project is required to be completed by late January 2010. Constructiioin start Feb 2009. 187 Detailed Engineering Darling Downs-SE Queensland

Warwick Reinforcement of Supply and substation 49 Construction Darling Downs
Wandoan Coal Project: will comprise the development of thermal coal resources for export markets and possibly domestic markets with an open-cut coal mine and related local infrastructure. The provision of water and power supply to the mine will also be involved. Targets first coal in late 2011. Mine infrastructure for the Project would consist of: accommodation facilities for mine personnel for both the construction and operational phases of the Project; communications infrastructure; light vehicle access roads and heavy vehicle haul roads; a water management system; waste water treatment facilities; fuel and oil storage facilities; high voltage transmission lines/poles and reticulation facilities; maintenance workshop, offices and associated amenities; coal handling and preparation facilities and tailings dams. 1,000+ Basic Engineering Darling Downs
