They were commissioned in 1973 and mid 1980s respectively and employ approximately 500 people from the area.
==History==
Before European settlement of the region the Wonnarua and Kamilaroi peoples occupied the land.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aboriginal people of Muswellbrook Shire - Muswellbrook Shire Council )〕 The first European to explore the area was Chief Constable John Howe in 1819, with the first white settlement occurring in the 1820s. The township of Muswellbrook was gazetted in 1833. To the south, "Forbestown" was established by the sons of Francis Forbes in 1842; the name was changed in 1848 to "South Muswellbrook" to prevent confusion with the town of Forbes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Muswellbrook Town Historical Walk )〕
