Clive palmer says queensland nickel refinery townsville to open next month

Posted

Queensland's southern suburbs are about to see a major change.

Key points: A new $1 billion refinery, called Parmer Nickel, will be built at Parmer

It is owned by Chinese and Indian coal firms

The refinery will be built in Parmer town square

Parmer Nickel is to open next month, in what will be Australia's largest refining project and the largest in the country.

The refinery will be operated by Chinese and Indian coal companies.

The Queensland government expects construction to start in September, but it won't be completed until 2016.

Queensland Premier Campbell Newman said the refinery was needed to support the booming coal industry in the state and could potentially create 500 jobs.

"I've always said it needs to happen because of the huge growth going on out there in the South," he said.

"If we can create, once we actually get started with this project, we will be better able to attract these companies.

"It will be great for Queensland, it will be great for our people and it will be great for our region."

Environmental group Clean Energy Q estimates the refinery will contribute $300 million to the South Australian economy.
