Fitzroy to Gladstone Pipeline approval secures water reliability for Gladstone
2/27/2023
The Queensland Government has approved the Fitzroy to Gladstone Pipeline for construction, which will provide greater long-term water security to Gladstone’s industry and support ongoing economic development in the region. The $983 million pipeline will be owned and managed by Gladstone Area Water Board and constructed by McConnell Dowell BMD Joint Venture (JV), with works expected to commence from early 2023. The 117-kilometre pipeline, which will run from the Lower Fitzroy River in Rockhampton and connect to Gladstone Area Water Board’s existing water network at Yarwun, will also support the emerging hydrogen and renewables sector that is set to expand in Gladstone.
