Master Plumbers welcomes the Victorian Government’s announcement this morning about the first part of the Building Works package.
The government estimates that the package will create 3,700 direct jobs for construction workers and thousands more across supply chains. At the centre of the Building Works package is $1.18 billion in education infrastructure projects which provides for ten new schools and refurbishment/upgrades to many more across Victoria. It also includes half-a-billion dollars to upgrade 23,000 dwellings and build 168 new homes across the state.
The construction industry has proven its ability to work safely and has continued to deliver critical projects during the shutdown which we can all be proud of.
Plumbers are at the frontline of community health services, building and maintaining our essential services such as hospitals, medical facilities and schools as well as much-needed public housing. This is an excellent start and we need all governments to maintain investment in community infrastructure, particularly throughout the COVID recovery.
Thoughts and perspectives from key industry stakeholders on the uncertain situation facing and prospects for the Australian economy and construction industry in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
