First sod turned on new Defence Homes in Brisbane
Friday, 20 November 2009
The Member for Petrie, Yvette D’Ath, recently turned the first
sod on a construction site in the Brisbane suburb of Everton Park,
where 32 new Defence townhouses will be built under the Nation
Building – Economic Stimulus Plan.
Construction of the three-bedroom townhouses will begin within
the next few weeks, and the houses will be provided to Defence
members and their families posted to the Brisbane region.
“The townhouses being built here at Everton Park will allow more
Defence families to live in Defence provided housing instead of
Brisbane’s private rental market,” said Ms D’Ath.
Over 30 Defence houses funded by the Economic Stimulus Plan have
been completed in Brisbane to date, and Defence families began
moving into these homes from May.
