Creating Jobs at Every Stage

At the heart of the South Terminal Extension is a commitment to job creation both immediate and long-term.

During the construction phase, the project will generate a wide range of employment opportunities across engineering, construction, logistics and project delivery. We are committed to ensuring these opportunities are accessible to local people and suppliers wherever possible.

Beyond construction, the expanded terminal will enable new and existing businesses to grow, bringing sustained employment across multiple sectors. From port operations and warehousing to manufacturing and energy, the extension will act as a catalyst for high-quality, skilled jobs in the region.
