From Townsville Enterprise CEO, Claudia Brumme-Smith
“During the election, the now Premier was very clear on his support for the CopperString project and we welcome and thank the Crisafulli Government for their reassurance today of their continued support for this vital project for North Queensland.”
“For more than a decade this community has backed and supported CopperString.”
“This is a historic and critical nation-building project, that is essential for the communities from Townsville to Mount Isa. It’s critical to connect Australia’s best wind and solar resources to the National Electricity Grid and “unearth” $740 billion of critical minerals. CopperString has already brought more than $7 billion in additional private investment into renewable energy and critical minerals projects.”
“We have always said that there is no transition without transmission – this project is vital for North Queensland, the State and indeed the entire nation.”
