Local MP commends Nation Building in Ipswich

Last week Mr Shayne Neumann, Member for Blair helped out with the construction on one of a total 111 Defence houses in Ipswich being built with funds provided through the Nation Building-Economic Stimulus Plan.

Mr Neumann, with the help of a young carpentry apprentice, hammered a nail into a housing frame as part of his visit to the construction of 20 new Defence houses underway at Raceview in Ipswich. These houses alone are injecting around $4 million into the local community.

Mr Neumann then gave a small speech to the media and guests. He spoke of the benefits created through the construction of these Defence houses to the Ipswich community.

The houses at Raceview are expected to be complete by October 2010.
