Australia’s port of Townsville is investing in a 14 ha project cargo laydown area at its East Port Precinct that will support future industry development and renewable energy projects across the region.
Slated for completion in mid-2026, the laydown facility will serve as temporary storage for wind turbine components, including blades of up to 100 m long, as well as other project cargo imports.
Port of Townsville ceo Ranee Crosby said this development is an important step toward meeting the increasing demand for future port infrastructure to facilitate the significant pipeline of planned investments in the region. “This facility will support emerging industries like renewable energy, advanced manufacturing as well as existing sectors like critical minerals as they continue to grow,” explained Crosby.
