Goonyella Riverside, Queensland

Goonyella Riverside is an open-cut steelmaking coal mine located approximately 30 kilometres north of Moranbah in Queensland's Bowen Basin on the traditional lands of the Barada Barna people. The operation forms part of BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA), the 50:50 joint venture between BHP and Mitsubishi Development. Goonyella commenced operations in 1971 and merged with the adjoining Riverside mine in 1989.

Goonyella Riverside is one of five BMA mines in Central Queensland and produces steelmaking coal used to make steel for infrastructure, housing, transport and renewable energy development around the world. Steelmaking coal remains an essential ingredient in blast furnace steel production and helps supply the materials needed for modern life.

Steelmaking coal from Goonyella Riverside is transported on the Goonyella rail network to the Hay Point Coal Terminal near Mackay, where it is exported to customers around the world. Together, BMA's mines and port infrastructure form an integrated supply chain connecting Queensland steelmaking coal to global markets.

As part of BMA's Bowen Basin operations, Goonyella Riverside contributes to Queensland's position as a leading supplier of seaborne steelmaking coal.

We work with Traditional Owners and regional partners to create long-term value in the communities where we operate. BMA and the Barada Barna Aboriginal Corporation have entered into a Native Title Project Agreement covering BMA's Bowen Basin operations, including Goonyella Riverside. The agreement supports opportunities in employment, education, training, contracting and business development, helping create benefits for current and future generations while strengthening connections to Country.
