Operational 100 | Balaclava Island Coal Export Terminal
Balaclava Island
(Xstrata Coal Queensland) | Xstrata Coal Queensland Pty Ltd (XCQ) is proposing to construct and operate a coal export facility at Balaclava Island, 40 kilometres north of Gladstone. It will involve the development of rail unloading facilities via a rail spur line off the main North Coast Line located north of the township of Raglan, construction of a conveyor system across wetlands to Balaclava Island and the development of a coal terminal with the appropriate ship loading facilities. It is proposed that the terminal will have a capacity of up to 35 million tonnes per annum, with development costs expected to be approximately $1-1.5 billion. It is planned this terminal will cater for vessels of up to 110,000 tonnes capacity. |  Preparation of EIS underway |  Coordinator-General |  |
| FLPE | Fishermans Landing Port Expansion
Gladstone
(Gladstone Ports Corporation) | The Gladstone Ports Corporation (GPC) proposes to reclaim over 150 ha of land extending northwards from the existing Fisherman’s Landing Port facility, 10 kilometres north of Gladstone City. The area is currently below the high water mark in Gladstone Harbour and is regarded as unallocated state land. The existing Fisherman’s Landing Port Facility accommodates a multi-user Bulk Liquids Wharf, Cement Australia’s cement and clinker wharf, RTA Yarwun’s wharf and Orica Australia’s bulk liquid ammonia tank. The reclaimed land would enable an additional six (6) wharves to be built alongside the existing facility to support future demand for transport, storage and loading and unloading facilities. It is intended that development of the wharf facilities will serve future industries to be located within the Gladstone State Development Area (GSDA) and will be linked via the Materials Transport Corridor, however the proposed reclamation is not within the GSDA. |  Project underway | Coordinator-General |  |
