The location of the Powerlink distribution system and the Queensland Government’s target of having 50 per cent of the State’s electricity generation coming from renewable sources by 2030 has sharpened the focus of renewable energy within the Rockhampton Region. The transition towards a focus on a renewable energy system represents a unique economic growth opportunity for the Rockhampton Region that brings with it a host of positive impacts. 3 PROJECTS Renewable energy projects within the Rockhampton Region will fuel economic growth, generate new employment opportunities, boost human welfare and work towards a climate safe future.

  • Rockhampton – Yeppoon Road Duplication
    ROCKHAMPTON – YEPPOON ROAD DUPLICATION Rockhampton – Yeppoon Road Duplication A Shorten Labor Government will boost jobs and local infrastructure in Central Queensland by investing $47.5 million in the Rockhampton-Yeppoon Road. The proposed project is Stage 1 of a three stage improvement project, and will see the construction of a dual carriageway between Limestone Creek and Tanby Road on the Rockhampton – Yeppoon Road. The Queensland Labor Government has advised that the first stage is a critical project for Rockhampton and Yeppoon. Early estimates are this project will cost $95 million. Road projects of similar size in the Rockhampton region suggest the Rockhampton – Yeppoon Road duplication will create around 150 local jobs. Why are we doing this? The Rockhampton – Yeppoon Road forms part of Queensland’s key freight network, B- double network and is the major road link to Great Keppel Island. Increasing travel demand, partly through increasing tourism demand in the region has seen traffic flow increase to more than 12,200 vehicles per day. This includes over 1000 trucks and buses daily (or 8.3 per cent of total traffic). This increase in economic activity is a good thing for jobs in the region, but it also potentially increases safety risks, and traffic times for local residents. Data from the Queensland Government indicates there have been at least 20 fatal accidents on both the Rockhampton – Yeppoon Road and neighbouring intersections since 2001.1 The existing road primarily comprises two-lane, two way single carriageway limiting overtaking opportunities. This project would see a dual carriageway along the entire length of the Rockhampton – Yeppoon Road.

  • Artist Opportunity
    Rockhampton Museum of Art Artist Opportunity Regional Art Commissions Rockhampton Museum of Art Artist Opportunity Regional Art Commissions Rockhampton Art Gallery in preparation for Rockhampton Museum of Art seeks to engage three artists from the Central Queensland region to produce artwork commissions. These three artwork commissions will encapsulate the artists’ practice through creative place making that responds to the architecture of the newly developed Rockhampton Museum of Art building. This commissioning process will ensure artists who work in the region are at the forefront of Rockhampton Museum of Art and represented clearly during opening celebrations. The artists will be identified via an Artist Opportunity Call Out and will work collaboratively with Rockhampton Art Gallery to foster both conceptual and practical development. Rockhampton Museum of Art In 2021 Rockhampton Museum of Art will open its doors for the first time, following a major capital infrastructure project. Rockhampton Museum of Art will be a place of community and gathering, where connections are forged, skills acquired, a love of art nurtured and history celebrated. Delivering services to the broader Central Queensland region, Rockhampton Museum of Art aims to increase exposure to art and culture through a range of innovative and participatory onsite and offsite activities. As a regional centre, Rockhampton Museum of Art will strive to provide the community with access to practicing artists and arts organisations, to ignite arts and culture as an interest area for future generations. It will challenge the notion of ‘regional’ and sit purposely out of line with a deliberate curated program that develop new audiences. Our Building The floor space of Rockhampton Museum of Art has increased from 650m² to 4711m², and features two large flexible gallery spaces, three multipurpose education spaces, permanent collection storage, an industry standard loading dock, a restaurant/café and retail store.

  • ROCKHAMPTON HOUSING OPPORTUNITY an Investment in the Future PRECINCT
    The ROCKHAMPTON HOUSING OPPORTUNITY An Investment in the Future PRECINCT The Rockhampton Regional Council includes four main residential centres being: Rockhampton City, Gracemere, Mount Morgan and Yeppoon. The nearest major centres to Rockhampton are Gladstone (one hour drive to the south) and Mackay (three hours drive to the north). The Rockhampton Regional Council is estimated to have a population of 114,105 as at 30 June 2009*. This represents an increase of 2.203 persons over the prior year. The Bowen Basin is an area of coal reserves and mining related communities that extends over approximately 60,000 square kilometers of Central Queensland from the town of Collinsville in the north to Theodore in the south. This is the largest coal reserve in Australia. * Queensland Office of Economic and Statistical Research, Population and housing profile – Rockhampton Regional Council, April 2010 Operating Mines & Townships As detailed in the map* (left), the Rockhampton region is ideally placed to accommodate the fly in, fly out (FIFO) mining and mining services workforce. It is this proximity together with the significant mining investment that will underpin housing/accommodation demand in the medium term. * Central Queensland University, Bowen Basin Mining Communities Research Exchange, 2003 Infrastructure Rockhampton is also intrinsically connected to the Bowen Basin though the rail infrastructure which forms part of the Central Queensland Coal Network (depicted left*). QR National is a major employer in the region with a workforce of 3,215 in Central Queensland as at 30 June 2010*. Within the Bowen Basin proper there are 15 townships, with an estimated combined population of 93,506 (as at 31 July 2009 ).
