The Gladstone Region truly is a Region of Choice, offering a great place to live, work, play and invest. Whilst major industrial facilities dominate Gladstone and Boyne Island, the region also features coastal towns and rural farming areas.

Major projects currently being undertaken by the Gladstone Regional Council include the Gladstone Airport Reconstruction Project, the Agnes Water / Seventeen Seventy Integrated Water Project (Desalination Plant) and the Seventeen Seventy Foreshore Revelopment Project.
