Treasurer Dick said “Investing in this type of project is essential to help our regions grow by attracting investment and creating employment opportunities. Economic modelling shows that this facility is expected to directly boost the Queensland economy by almost $195 million over the next 10 years. Facilities such as these are a catalyst for further regional development by attracting specialty high value freight and logistics suppliers and a range of aeronautical support companies to the region. The commitment of Alliance to Rockhampton shows that Queensland has the capabilities to enhance their operations and further consolidates our growing reputation in the multi-billion-dollar global aviation industry.”
