Collinsville Green Energy Hub Newsletter - November 2025
Consultation session
Local residents and community members joined the project team at the information centre in May for an update on work done to date and next steps. Ark Energy thanks everyone who took the time to attend the session. The materials shared are available here.
Focus on community
The project team enjoyed supporting a number of great community events and organisations this year: Bowen River Rodeo in Collinsville, Polocrosse Night Chukkas in Bowen, Show Whitsunday in Proserpine, the Great Barrier Reef Festival at Airlie Beach, Collinsville State High School’s team for the 2025 Hydrogen Grand Prix PRO, the Mackay-Whitsunday-Isaac Healthy Rivers to Reef Partnership and the team at Collinsville Connect Telecentre. Thank you to the Collinsville and surrounding communities for making us feel welcome.
