Carmichael Mine Information

ADANI's flagship Carmichael mine in the Galilee Basin is estimated to be a $16-24 billion project. It has could become the biggest thermal coal mine Australia has ever seen. The mine will include, rail line and significant updates to the Abbot Point port and ship loading facility at Bowen.

There are huge mining job opportunities for construction workers and other trades ranging from diesel mechanics to locomotive drivers, electricians and carpenters.

There has been much debate about whether the regional FIFO centre will be Rockhampton, Mackay or Townsville. Whichever city wins, there will be even more jobs as a spin off to the new mine. ** see Adani update 2016

The Adani Carmichael Mine Project has the ability to export more than 60mtpa of coal at its peak production phase. Mining operations will involve a massive infrastructure undertaking including a 400km rail line to Abbot Point, near Bowen. The mine itself is expected to create around 5,000 mining construction jobs and + 4,000 mine jobs when in full production.

When fully developed, the Carmichael Coal Mine will be the largest coal mine in Australia. The development of the mine and rail network will boost employment in the areas surrounding the mine.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to switch careers or look for a fresh start in the coal mining sector in Queensland.

Existing workers looking to take advantage of this new project and secure employment, should think about getting the right training and appropriate certification that meets the Government legislation around WHS and the Coal Mining Safety & Health Act 1999.
