The Swanbank Power Station Precinct has played an important role in supporting Queensland’s resource and energy supply for more than 60 years. The 330ha site has a proud history of coal mining and coal generation but its future is in sustainable, lower-emission energy.
It is CleanCo's ambition to transform the Swanbank site into a clean energy hub, ensuring long-term jobs and economic opportunities.
CRG - a two-way communication channel
In 2024 CleanCo formed a Swanbank Clean Energy Hub Community Reference Group (CRG) to provide advice and represent the local community as the development of the Clean Energy Hub progresses. The CRG meets at Providence Community Centre on a quarterly basis. Learn more about the CRG.
