Shout out from the Minister for Climate Change and Energy to SG perhaps:
This is an important announcement, as the Prime Minister said, and there's a couple of things about it which make me particularly excited. There's a $70 million commitment from the Albanese Government to make this hydrogen hub a reality. As the Prime Minister said, 200 immediate jobs and many more than that going forward on an ongoing basis. But also, as the world increasingly needs critical minerals, the world will be looking for those critical minerals to be processed in a way which is carbon neutral. And this hub will play a vital role, with Australia providing so much of the world's critical minerals needs in ensuring that we can tell customers right around the world that our critical minerals have been processed in a way which is carbon neutral. And we want to process more of those minerals in Australia under the Albanese Government, and we want to see a lot of that work happening here in Townsville.

So Lansdown precinct is a goer!
Perhaps that also knocks over a QPM funding domino?
Governments having been talking about common user infrastructure as a realistic means of support for miners and processors, so the lenders can now see the Eco-Industrial site will have its roads, water, power, rail spur?, and it's not up to QPM to pony up.

Mayor Jenny Hill also let loose on Defence Housing, recognising there may be a shortage of accommodation for incoming workers soon...
Go The Mayor
