The Maranoa is strategically located within the preferred heavy transport corridor connecting Southern States to Northern Australia, providing seamless access to international markets. A billion-dollar investment in the Inland Freight Route from Mungindi to Charters Towers will significantly enhance connectivity and facilitate efficient freight movement.
The region benefits from direct access to major transport arteries, including the Carnarvon and Warrego Highways, as well as Roma Airport. Additionally, Wellcamp Airport, the Port of Brisbane, and the Port of Gladstone serve as vital gateways for international freight. With diverse freight options (including road transport, air freight, and rail infrastructure) the Maranoa is well-suited for a comprehensive intermodal hub that enables seamless transfer and consolidation of goods across multiple transport modes.
The availability of competitively priced industrial land within serviced estates, with essential utilities like water, gas, electricity, and connection to the National Broadband Network, positions the Maranoa as an ideal centre for logistics, driving efficiency and reducing transportation costs for businesses in the region.
