JOINT STATEMENT
Around 750 construction jobs for North Queensland are a step closer after the $1.7 billion CopperString 2.0 project secured a major $17 million financing agreement with Korea Zinc Company Limited.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said her Government had been a long-term supporter of the job-generating proposal to construct a 1,100 kilometre transmission line to connect the North West Minerals Province with the National Electricity Market.
“That’s why I announced my Government had entered into an implementation agreement with CopperString late last year to provide certainty for the project and the jobs it provides,” the Premier said.
“It’s big projects like this that will help in Queensland’s economic recovery and long term growth opportunities.
