Gladstone’s emerging hydrogen industry and waterfront precinct have each received a $5m boost from the Federal Government to enhance the local economy, job creation and economic diversification.
Deputy Prime Minister, Nationals Leader Michael McCormack was in the port city on Tuesday with Member for Flynn Ken O’Dowd and Mayor Matt Burnett to announce the funding aimed at strengthening economic growth post COVID.
Mr McCormack said the $10 million in funding would be used to establish a hydrogen knowledge centre and to beautify Auckland Hill. Auckland Hill, Gladstone, will be transformed with improved parking and facilities through a $5 million federal government grant. Picture Rodney Stevens DJI Mavic Air 2

yeaaaaaah hiiiiii Fran.. ) Pitt quickly found that he would have to answer actual questions about the Productivity Commission report on national water supply. It was painfully clear that he probably hadn t read the report which is strong on water recycling for urban needs, and rights buy-backs, and scathing about new infrastructure, i.e. dams, which can be up to 50 times as expensive as other solutions.
