Cosy Atmosphere And Collectables At The Conroy Hall Markets

By Victoria Velton I had the pleasure of visiting the Conroy Hall Market, and it was a real treat. I wandered through tables of vibrant handmade goods, admired the lush array of plants, and couldn’t resist taking home a delicious sponge cake. The friendly stallholders made it feel like a true community hub, and I only wished I’d stayed longer to enjoy the live music from the choir. If you haven’t been yet, the next Conroy Hall Market is on Saturday, 9 August, from 7:30am to 11:30am at

Hinchinbrook Invited To A Powerful Future

May 6, 2025

All Hinchinbrook residents are invited to an informative and engaging community roadshow session in Townsville on Tuesday the 13th of May. Genex will present exciting updates on the Kidston Hybrid Project (K3-Hybrid) offering a unique opportunity to learn how this ground breaking renewable energy initiative will benefit the region socially, environmentally, and economically.

The K3-Hybrid Project marks the final stage of the Kidston Clean Energy Hub and integrates 120 megawatts (MW) of wind power with a 150MW/600-megawatt hour battery energy storage system. Reconfigured from the former Kidston Wind Project (K3-Wind), this ambitious 270MW hybrid project will connect to a new 275-kilovolt transmission line by Powerlink Queensland, with completion expected in 2025. By combining wind, solar, pumped hydro, and storage, the Kidston Clean Energy Hub will be the first of its kind in Australia. This is the start of creating a globally significant, multi-technology renewable Hinchinbrook.

At the session, Genex representatives will explain the project’s purpose and benefits, including employment and local business opportunities, wind turbine transport logistics, and broader community impacts. Attendees will also learn how to get involved and stay connected with Genex throughout the project's life cycle.

If you’re a business owner, contractor, job seeker, university representative, or simply a curious community member, this is your chance to engage directly with the project team, ask questions, and see how this transformational project will shape the future of North Queensland. Refreshments will be provided, and the session will include a Q&A segment for community input and discussion.

WHAT: Genex Community Roadshow – Kidston Hybrid Project
WHEN: Tuesday, May 13 | 6:00pm – 8:00pm
WHERE: Townsville RSL Club, 139 Charters Towers Road, Hermit Park
REGISTER: Via the QR code, or email info@genexpower.com.au
