From Ports To Community: NQBP Marks 2024 Achievements

Earlier this month, approximately 90 stakeholders from across the port industry and local community gathered at the Mackay Surf Lifesaving Club to celebrate their collective achievements at the North Queensland Bulk Ports (NQBP) end-of-year stakeholder event.
 
NQBP CEO Brendan Webb thanked attendees for their strong teamwork, resilience, and adaptability during 2024. Mr Webb also shared NQBP’s significant economic contributions to the port communities and Queensland, with the Ports of Hay Point and Mackay facilitating around 47,000 jobs and an economic contribution to the state of more than $22.2 Billion.
 
Also announced on the night were the fourteen recipients of NQBP’s Community Fund for this year, another reflection of NQBP’s commitment to their port communities. 


North Queensland Bulk Ports is a government-owned corporation with ports at Hay Point, Mackay, Abbot Point and Weipa. NQBP delivers essential port services for the benefit of the people of Queensland. Their ports connect North Queensland to the world while balancing the needs of their iconic surroundings, communities, and stakeholders.
