Port of Townsville is providing North Queensland with critical enabling infrastructure with the construction of a multi-million-dollar project cargo laydown area at its East Port Precinct.
The 14-hectare laydown facility will support future industry development and renewable energy projects across the region.
Mendi Constructions has been contracted to deliver the transport network upgrades and laydown facility, which will serve as temporary storage for wind turbine components, including blades of up to 100 metres long, and other project cargo imports.
Port of Townsville CEO Ranee Crosby said this development is an important step toward meeting the increasing demand for future port infrastructure to facilitate the significant pipeline of planned investments in the region.
"The port is integral in maintaining efficient international supply chains into the future, as well as securing the North and North West Queensland region as a hub for global trade growth," Ms Crosby said.
Construction works are expected to be complete in mid-2026. All material required to build the laydown area will be sourced from CAMM Quarry and Concrete, a subsidiary of the Doyle Group of companies, with Mendi Constructions being one of its divisions.
