AddressAbout us
The Yabulu Refinery, located 25km north of Townsville, was one of Australia's largest producers of refined nickel and cobalt and had been in operation since 1974. Refinery operations were suspended in 2016 due to low metal prices and the refinery has been in care and maintenance since that time. Civil, structural, mechanical and electrical maintenance activities are ongoing, including periodic operation of equipment and measures to prevent deterioration. A focus on safety and environmental compliance remains a high priority for the refinery.
