GPC maintains an open-door policy on all port operations, implementing this policy through the offering of port tours.

Industry Tours
As part of the Gladstone Area Promotion and Development Limited's 'Industry Tour' initiative, GPC is one of four major local industries providing visitors and locals with a free weekly tour of their operations.

Weekly tour participants visit Auckland Hill, gaining an overview of Gladstone Port Central (Auckland Point and Barney Point), Gladstone Marina and the world’s fourth largest coal terminal - RG Tanna Coal Terminal.  These tours will begin in 2012 on March 6th. For more information and to book a tour, please contact Gladstone Area Promotion and Development Limited (GAPDL) on +61 7 4972 4000.

Harbour Tours

Each month GPC arranges a harbour tour in conjunction with GAPDL for local residents to see what is going on in our harbour and to learn more about the Western Basin Dredging and Disposal Project. The two hour tour leaves Gladstone Marina and travels past RG Tanna Coal Terminal, Curtis Island, the reclamation zone at Fishermans Landing and back into the Marina.

For more information, please visit our Western Basin Project website.

Specialised Group Tours
GPC also provides tours for school groups, community organisations and special interest groups. School groups are provided with a tailored tour of our port facilities, with a specific focus on class subjects if/when required.
