Project overview

The Fitzroy to Gladstone Pipeline is a $983 million project to address the single source water supply risk from Awoonga Dam and enable long-term water security for GAWB’s customers.

The 117-kilometre pipeline will run from the Lower Fitzroy River in Rockhampton and connect to Gladstone Area Water Board’s existing water network at Yarwun. The pipeline comprises a water treatment plant, reservoirs and pumping stations at locations along its alignment including Laurel Bank, Alton Downs and Aldoga.

The Fitzroy to Gladstone Pipeline will have the capacity to transport 30 gigalitres per annum from the Fitzroy River to Gladstone.

The Fitzroy to Gladstone Pipeline will:

provide water security and reliability
help ensure the continued operations of Gladstone’s industry
contribute to the growth of the Queensland economy
create more than 400 jobs at the peak of construction
create 25 apprenticeships and traineeships
provide 10,000 hours of training to the delivery team.

McConnell Dowell BMD Joint Venture has been appointed as the construction contractor.

Once constructed, the pipeline will be owned and managed by Gladstone Area Water Board.
