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, low-emission energy.

In line with objectives of the Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan, it is CleanCo's ambition to transform the Swanbank site into a clean energy hub, ensuring long-term jobs and economic opportunities.

CleanCo is collaborating with people from across Ipswich to reimagine the Swanbank power station site, to benefit the region. Through a co-design process with the community, we have developed a 20 year vision and draft masterplan.

From August to October 2023, we shared the draft masterplan with the Ipswich community - through presentations to community groups, information stands at key events, social media promotion and this website. Thanks to everyone who took the time to chat with us and provide feedback.

The feedback we have received from the community will be used to refine the masterplan and also shared with the CleanCo Board. In late 2023, we will share the community engagement report that summarises all the feedback we have received from the community. This report will highlight how CleanCo has considered and incorporated community feedback into our decision-making processes.
