On Thursday 29 October 2026 from 12-1pm, CleanCo will conduct an audible test of new emergency warning sirens in the area downstream of Splityard Creek Dam in the Somerset region. This is a test only. There is no emergency. Residents do not need to take any action if they hear the sirens.
CleanCo is working with the Ipswich community to transform the Swanbank Power Station site into an Energy Precinct, ensuring long-term jobs and economic opportunities for the region.
The Swanbank site has played an important role in supporting Queensland’s resource and energy supply for more than 50 years. The 336ha site has a proud history of coal mining and coal generation. Now its future is in sustainable, lower-emission energy.
In 2023, CleanCo announced plans to develop the former coal-fired power station site into a precinct featuring lower emission energy generation and storage technologies, as well as restore the environment and explore community infrastructure opportunities.
