Local MP commends Nation Building in Ipswich
Friday, 25 June 2010
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.
