AUSTRALIA GLADSTONE QUEENSLAND

The Gladstone region is on the way to being the engine room of Queensland, but it has not been at the expense of quality of life. Gladstone industry is committed to sound environment management, carefully researched to exist and operate in harmony with the community and its surrounds.

The Port of Gladstone is a busy one, with hundreds of ships visiting each year to import and export valuable cargoes. The major export is coal, with the port rated as the sixth largest coal port in the world. The handling facilities utilise leading edge technology to service inland mines linked to the port by the highly-efficient Queensland Rail network.

Gladstone is also the grain port for Central Queensland, with our other exports including cement clinker, fly ash and general cargo, with imports of fuel oil, caustic soda, ammonia and petroleum products. Several important industries are located on the north side of the city near Yarwun. These include the ICI and Ticor chemical plant, and the Queensland Cement clinker plant. And utilising the region's timber resources is Stickmakers.
