A great luncheon yesterday and fantastic news for the Mackay area with Adani announcing that they will be utilising a local workforce and local service providers. Just the boost we need here in Mackay.
Our Gardian Managing Director, Peter Phillips and Phillips Mortgage Choice Mackay Director Ben Phillips attended the informative information luncheon held yesterday by Adani.
"Adani provided a lot of positive news," Peter Phillips said, "Locally it will give us the boost we've been waiting for with Adani contracting Downer to manage the mine and committing to utilise a local workforce and service providers."
The luncheon was attended by over 350 people and Adani CEO Jeyakumar Janakaraji reiterated the company's earlier promise, "that Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton and Bowen will all play key roles in supporting and delivering these projects, which is vital for the region."
Peter Phillips said, "The Carmichael Coal Mine Project is a massive step in the right direction and will generate not only numerous jobs in the region but security will be back in Mackay. Fantastic news for the area that will help restore the vibrancy that Mackay and surrounding areas are known for."
