The Gladstone region has been described as the engine room of Australia and Port City to the world.
From Gladstone, ships take our major exports to the world - coal, aluminum, locally built machinery, agricultural products and horticultural commodities. These major industries along with the LNG plants on Curtis Island... cement Gladstone’s place as Australia’s engine room.
​
There is no doubt, these major industries, combined with our many smaller, privately owned businesses, represent excellent investment and employment opportunities.
​
Gladstone is an industrial powerhouse of Queensland with a naturally deep harbour that offers tremendous growth and trade opportunities. Combining this with low vacancy rates, increasing rental yields and affordable property, Gladstone is an attractive choice for first home buyers and property investors alike.
​
The Gladstone region; a jewel in the nation’s crown. Essential to Australia’s economy and a great place to invest, live, work and play.
