The Queensland Curtis LNG project awarded  a two-year camp management contract extension to Morris Corp., taking the total of awards given to Queensland firms to A$6.9 billion.

The A$25 million contract covers catering, cleaning and management services at three QGC worker camps about 25km west of Chinchilla.

Under the contract, Morris, which has run QGC camps since 2011, will manage up to 490 beds for construction and operations workers.

QCLNG Project Director Mitch Ingram said QGC was committed to employing local people and to using suppliers of local goods and services where possible.

"Across Queensland, local communities are benefitting from QGC's investment in home-grown suppliers of goods and services," Ingram said.

"We are proud to work with a company like Morris, which sources most of the goods for their camps from suppliers on the Western Downs.

"QGC will be operating in the Surat Basin for decades and we want local businesses to develop and thrive through our presence."

The provision of camp accommodation is part of QGC's project-wide integrated housing strategy, which is easing housing pressures during construction of QCLNG.

QGC has invested more than A$11 billion in Queensland since 2010, of which A$6.9 billion has gone to Queensland firms.

About A$530 million has been invested in the Western Downs.
