Dalby & District Developments

Booming mining and natural gas extraction industries have placed a multibillion dollar industry on Dalby's doorstep with the town poised to become one of Queensland's major energy suppliers.

Abundant natural gas and thermal coal reserves are underpinning the region's economic strength and driving large-scale infrastructure developments including the $1.2 billion Kogan Creek Power Station, $1.3 billion Origin Energy 630MW gas-fired power station, two smaller gas-fired power stations and multiple coal seam gas projects.

Ergon Energy is planning a $9 million refurbishment of the central Dalby substation, the Dalby bio-refinery ethanol plant is underway, and Liquegas plans to build a liquified natural gas plant at Daandine. Completion of the Surat Basin Rail project in 2011 will result in the timely expansion of the region's freight infrastructure providing direct access to the Gladstone Port.

Dalby's desalination plant is producing a reliable base water supply. In an Australian first, Council plans to construct a second plant to treat coal seam methane by-water. New industries such as hemp processing and ethanol production are adding industrial diversity to a region already well established as a major manufacturing and agricultural centre.
