More than 900 job vacancies will be advertised in North Queensland’s Etheridge Shire after a new $610 million development met all conditions for financing.
Genex Power has achieved financial close for its Kidston Pumped Storage Hydro Project in Einasleigh, 382km west of Cairns.
The Queensland Government recently provided $147M to help the state-run Powerlink corporation cover the cost of building a 186km single-circuit transmission line between the former Kidston Gold Mine site and Mount Fox.
Construction of the utilities component is expected to create 400 jobs, while building the rest of the 250 megawatt project will require an additional 500 workers.

- health, safety and environment managers/advisors
