With scale, comes opportunity
The Australia Pacific LNG Project will generate significant benefits to Queensland and Australia, including:
- Creation of up to 6,000 jobs during the peak construction phase, which includes the gas fields, main gas transmission pipeline and LNG facility
- Creation of about 1,000 jobs during the operation of the Project
- Investment in local goods, supplies and services
- Creation of a new, long-term gas processing and export industry – creating jobs and boosting local economies
- Opportunities to increase local skills capacity, via apprenticeships, trades, traineeships, scholarships and vocational training
There'll be opportunities – short and long term - for suppliers, contractors, and job seekers; both those starting out and experienced.
There'll be sustainable long-term employment in our regions, with opportunities for business growth.
Opportunities for growing regions
Australia Pacific LNG is a joint venture between industry leading, experienced companies in Australia, the United States and China.
We're passionate about helping give locals diverse and flexible opportunities to work or do business in the places where they live.
We're committed to furthering those opportunities by:
- Attracting local people to the workforce, including those from under-represented groups
- Assisting qualified local and regional businesses with tendering opportunities for providing goods and services to the Project
- Working with government, State and Local, and community organisations to enhance the capacity for employers to provide jobs and for local people to develop skills and get jobs
- Ensuring contracts with suppliers and contractors are aligned with the Project's sustainability principles
- Working closely with Energy Skills Queensland's CSG/LNG Skills Taskforce to help meet the growing skills demand through training, raising local awareness of opportunities and careers advice
- Implementing programs with high schools in the region, in partnership with Queensland Mines & Energy Academy to promote career opportunities and employment in the CSG to LNG industry
Using local talent whenever possible
To help ensure local communities share in the benefits from the Project, Australia Pacific LNG will use the services of local suppliers, contractors and employees wherever viable. As with all people working on or with the Project, you will need to meet the assessment criteria across a range of areas including, safety, cost, quality and timeliness. We can help train you on how to meet these standards so you can more effectively tender for business with the Project.
