Hear from leading businesses in the resources sector, and why they've chosen to establish themselves in the Rockhampton Region.
150 years since the first gold was discovered here, the Rockhampton Region remains a global player in the resources industry. Mining supports almost 13,000 local jobs and contributes around $2.4 billion dollars to the economy.
The mining industry continues to grow, increasing by 26% between 2021-22 and 2022-23.
The Rockhampton Region's central location and connectivity via road, rail, air and sea has seen the region develop into a major support hub for mining operations across the Bowen and Galilee Basin. The ever-evolving nature of Central Queensland's coal mines, combined with growing demand for critical minerals and the reopening of the Mount Morgan gold mine under Heritage Minerals are opening up fresh opportunities for businesses working in the resources sector.
