Thursday, 3 June 2010
This week Defence Housing Australia (DHA) announced the completion
of all 118 Nation Building- Economic Stimulus Plan (NB-ESP) funded
houses in Townsville.
The new houses will help to ease the pressure in the private rental
market and provide high quality accommodation for incoming Defence
Personnel posted to Townsville.
This recent milestone brings the total of Defence homes completed
under the stimulus plan to over 550, with more to come in the coming
months.
DHA has been focused on completing the 829 houses, which have been
contracted in various major cities throughout Australia, to come in
ahead of schedule and on budget.
As part of the Federal Government’s NB-ESP, DHA was allocated
$245.58 million to build a total of 829 houses.
