Fitzroy Terminal Project

The Fitzroy Terminal Project is a proposed 22 million tonne-per-year coal export terminal proposed by a consortium including Mitchell Group Holdings. The project is located adjacent to Port Alma, 50 kilometres south-east of Rockhampton and 40 km north-west of Gladstone. In late October 2011 the Queensland government's Coordinator-General, Keith Davies announced that he had declared the project as "significant project".

In the media statement Davies stated that the project was a "a $1.2 billion proposal to construct a coal export facility located adjacent to Port Alma with export capacity of 22 million tonne per annum" and that "if approved, the project would generate up to 350 construction jobs and up to 150 operational jobs."

Deputy Premier, Treasurer and Minister for State Development Andrew Fraser stated that the terminal "would help address the increase in demand for essential coal port facilities by providing an alternative port for smaller tonnage mines."
