Rockhampton Regional Council : Local business supports Adani supplier workshops

Published on 19 January 2017

Rockhampton suppliers are showing strong support for Adani Mining by registering for the Bowen Basin Mining Club's Adani Supplier Roadshow, which is now booked out in Rockhampton.

Rockhampton Regional Councillor Neil Fisher said the support spoke for itself.

'The Rockhampton session is booked out and I have no doubt that local suppliers are looking forward to what Adani will bring to our Region,' Cr Fisher said.

The Adani Supplier Roadshow will outline sub-contracting and supply chain opportunities for the Adani Mine, Rail and Port Projects.

'Businesses will gain valuable insights into working with Adani, particularly as they'll be hearing first-hand from key personnel including Mr Ian Sedgman, General Manager of Mine Infrastructure, Mr Clint Zahmel, Head of Commercial and Mr Rupen Shah, Project Head - Rail,' he said.

'There is such excitement in our community about Adani and our future, and this workshop is a great first step for building understanding and strong relationships across the board.

'Council's Economic Development team will also attend and we're encouraging business to have a chat with us about how we can all work together to continue building future partnerships.'

The workshops are being held from Monday 23 January to Wednesday 25 January. Each event will feature presentations from Adani Australia key personnel:

Mr Ian Sedgman, General Manager, Mine Infrastructure
Mr Clint Zahmel, Head of Commercial
Mr Rupen Shah, Project Head - Rail

All sessions have now been booked out in Rockhampton, Emerald, Clermont, Mackay and Townsville.
