Open for investors – Gladstone Container Terminal Opportunity

Gladstone Ports Corporation (GPC) is proud to announce an investment opportunity for a new Port of Gladstone container terminal to unlock a critical gateway for Australia’s expanding container trade and help strengthen Queensland’s freight and logistics network.

As a landmark early market opportunity, experienced private sector investors and operators are invited to submit a Registration of Interest (ROI) to develop and operate a new container terminal within the Port of Gladstone on behalf of GPC from 28 October 2025 via VendorPanel Public Tenders.

The development of the Port Central locality through private investment in port infrastructure is a strategic step in supporting Queensland’s freight future. A high-capacity Port of Gladstone container terminal will strengthen supply chain efficiencies and market reach – unlocking significant freight potential for agricultural, mining, manufacturing, and industrial producers across Queensland.

This opportunity facilitates regional development, paves the way for future investment prospects and is a positive step towards securing jobs, new industry and future economic benefit for Queensland and Australia.

Located 525 kilometres north of Brisbane, Port of Gladstone is Queensland’s largest multi-commodity port, and one of Australia’s most important sheltered deepwater harbours. The Port of Gladstone is formally recognised as a Priority Port under the Sustainable Ports Development Act 2015.

GPC Chief Executive Officer Andrew Johnson said the ROI opportunity marked a significant 2025 milestone for GPC’s port development strategy.

“GPC has been delivering prosperity for the region for more than 110 years and remains focussed on ensuring continuity, jobs and stability for our operations while exploring new opportunities for the future,” Mr Johnson said.

“Strategic plans for the growth of the Port of Gladstone identified Port Central as an ideal locality for a new container terminal to meet growing industry and market demand.

“Through this ROI market engagement, future Port Central proponents are invited to submit scalable development concepts aligned with their operational and commercial strategies for an opportunity to shape how key marine and landside infrastructure are delivered and operated.”
