Ampol in Kurnell

Ampol has proudly operated in the Kurnell community for around 70 years, as an oil refinery from 1956-2014 and now a fuel import terminal.

We are actively engaged with the local community by supporting local groups and organisations to add value and deliver benefits. Find out about the local organisations we support.

Local Operations

Ampol’s Kurnell fuel terminal supplies fuel primarily to the New South Wales region. It is Australia’s largest liquid fuel import terminal, employing approximately 100 staff and contractors.

Following the refinery’s decommissioning in 2014, Ampol is reviewing options for the excess land at the site. Ampol is committed to continuing its support of the Kurnell community, while repurposing surplus land in a way that delivers us long-term value.

One option Ampol is exploring is the potential establishment of a Kurnell Energy & Industry Hub.

Kurnell Energy & Industry Hub

As part of a review of the Ampol-owned land in Kurnell, Ampol is currently progressing a planning application as we look at possibly establishing the Kurnell Energy & Industry Hub.

The potential Ampol Kurnell Energy & Industry Hub being explored, in addition to the existing fuel import terminal, may include:

  • Industry Precinct to support future logistics and manufacturing activity
  • Energy Precinct including a possible Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
  • Protected Ecological Area to preserve habitats for endangered species

It is important to note no final decisions have been made. Any decision by Ampol will be made after extensive internal review and Board approval, site assessments, development consent, and stakeholder engagement.
