Hay Point, Queensland

The Hay Point Coal Terminal (HPCT) is the export terminal for BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA)'s Bowen Basin steelmaking coal mines in Central Queensland. Located at the Port of Hay Point, approximately 38 kilometres south of Mackay on the traditional lands of the Yuwibara people, the terminal plays an important role in connecting Queensland steelmaking coal with customers around the world.

HPCT forms part of BMA, the 50:50 joint venture between BHP and Mitsubishi Development. Since commencing operations in 1971, the terminal has expanded to support growing global demand for steelmaking coal and now has the operating capacity to export more than 55 million tonnes of exports each year. A third offshore berth was added as part of an expansion project completed in 2015, strengthening the terminal's capacity and operational resilience.

The terminal supports coal exports from BMA's five Bowen Basin mines: Broadmeadow, Caval Ridge, Goonyella Riverside, Peak Downs and Saraji. Together, these assets form an integrated mine, rail and port supply chain that helps supply steelmaking coal used to make steel for infrastructure, housing, transport and renewable energy development around the world.

As part of BMA's Queensland business, Hay Point contributes to the efficient movement of resources from the Bowen Basin to international markets.

We work with Traditional Owners, local communities and industry partners to support long-term regional development and sustainable operations. This includes initiatives such as advancing the circular economy in Queensland's resource sector, which explores opportunities to recover, reuse and repurpose materials across the resources value chain.
