Up to 8500 new jobs to be created in Queensland
April 23, 2010 - 4:24pmWith multi-million dollar projects about to start in Queensland, the local workforce will not be enough to cope with the skills demand.
A $60 billion deal was signed between BG Group and the China National Offshore Oil Corporation and described by Premier Anna Bligh as the world’s biggest LNG contract based on coal seam gas.
The deal is re-heating fears of a skills shortage in the region, in particular in the emerging coal seam gas and liquefied natural gas industry.
According to Bligh, the new project alone could create “up to 8500” new jobs in Queensland.
