PERTH (miningweekly.com) – A A$7-million Resources Center of Excellence will open in Mackay, in Queensland, at the start of next week.

The centre, jointly funded by the Queensland government and the Mackay Regional Council, is a strategic investment in job creation for the resources sector, and the region.

Queensland Treasurer Cameron Dick said the state’s plan to recover from the global coronavirus pandemic puts traditional industries like the resources sector front and centre.

“Since 2015, the government has facilitated more than A$20-billion of new investment in the resources sector. Making sure we have a skilled workforce to take advantage of these opportunities is an important part of Queensland’s road to recovery from the global coronavirus pandemic.  

“This Centre of Excellence will ensure that the Mackay region remains one of the world’s best sources for mining expertise and innovation in the mining equipment, technology and services (METS) sector.

“Featuring a simulated underground coal mine for training and research, including emergency response, the centre will provide training and education, biomedical research, product innovation and demonstration and help to create the jobs and skills of the future.”
