Southern Cross Fertilisers operated the integrated phosphate mine and ammonium phosphate (MAP/DAP) manufacturing complex at Phosphate Hill in north-west Queensland. The project was developed by WMC Fertilizers and commenced production in late 1999; following BHP Billiton’s 2005 acquisition of WMC Resources, the business was operated as Southern Cross Fertiliser Operations. It was sold to Incitec Pivot in May 2006. At the time it was described as Australia’s only maker of ammonium phosphate fertilisers.
