A manufacturing company building trains for the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games says it is discussing "potential redundancies" with employees due to its reduced workload. Downer Group in the heritage city of Maryborough, three hours north of Brisbane, released a statement on Thursday saying it was in talks with its employees following a dip in the organisation's workload. "Due to a reduction in the expected volume of work at our Maryborough facility, Downer commenced consultation with our workforce regarding potential redundancies," a Downer spokesperson said. "No final decision has been made, and we continue to explore opportunities to fill the gap in work, in order to ease any impact with our people." The company has more than 250 employees at the Maryborough site but it has not confirmed how many jobs are at risk. In 2023, Downer signed a $4.6 billion contract to deliver the then-Palaszczuk government's Queensland Train Manufacturing Program, which included 65 passenger trains to be built in time for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.
