Alpha is undergoing a major transformation with the Alpha Coal Project, bringing significant economic growth and development to the region. This project is anticipated to generate over 5,000 jobs and produce over 80 million tonnes of coal per year over its 30-year lifespan. With a current population of 559, Alpha is experiencing new housing and infrastructure development, attracting workers primarily in labourer, manager, and machinery operator roles. While historically a service centre for surrounding pastoral properties, Alpha is also emerging as a tourist destination, known for its unique wall murals. The town offers a promising future for those seeking opportunities in the mining industry and related services.
