Middlemount, Queensland
Middlemount is a rural town and locality in the Isaac Region, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, the locality of Middlemount had a population of 1,899 people.
It is nicknamed the "Giant Peanut" by some locals due to its peanut-shaped road layout.
Middlemount is located 242 kilometres (150 mi) inland (by road) from Mackay and Rockhampton in Central Queensland. The township is an accommodation hub to both permanent residents and transient workers. Middlemount is surrounded by the following coal mines: Foxleigh, Lake Lindsay, Middlemount Mine, Aquila Mine, German Creek and world record holding underground coal mine Grasstree.
Middlemount, like many other mining towns in Queensland developed quickly in the early 1980s. Middlemount Post Office opened on 2 June 1980.
Middlemount State School opened in 1980 with a secondary department added in 1983. In 1988 the secondary department was separated from the primary school to create Middlemount State High School. However, on 1 January 2001, the schools were amalgamated to form Middlemount Community School.
The Middlemount Library opened in 1984.
Most of the housing is owned by Anglo Coal. The company operates and maintains some of the town's infrastructure. Most of the houses are almost identical, in this instance there are three types of houses; lowset L-shaped, lowset square and highset.[citation needed]
Approximately 40,000 workers have been employed at Middlemount's coal mining over its 39 year history. This town has contributed to the economic development of Queensland and Australia more generally.[citation needed].
