PROJECT OUTLINE

GM Steel Pty Ltd engaged Precinct Urban Planning to provide town planning services for the development of a Low Emission Steel Mill with an associated Environmentally Relevant Activity (ERA). The development is Queensland’s first Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology plant and will be located west of Toowoomba, in the Wellcamp Business Park. The EAF steel mill will utilise sustainable manufacturing processes to recycle scrap steel, helping meet Queensland’s growing demand for steel products while significantly reducing emissions compared to traditional steel mills. By processing recycled steel locally, the project also avoids the environmental and financial costs associated with import/export of recycled steel products. The GM Steel facility is set to become a major employer for Toowoomba and will play a key role in driving industrial growth across the region.
