Fortescue Settles Queensland Funding Dispute Over Gladstone Electrolyser
Fortescue and the Queensland Government reached a confidential settlement over the A$66m state funding for a Gladstone electrolyser manufacturing facility. Queensland provided land and enabling infrastructure, while the federal Modern Manufacturing Initiative contributed A$44m. After Queensland sought reimbursement and issued compliance notices, the state will retain value through transfers of land, an electrical substation and common-user infrastructure under the grant terms.
