'Building for Jobs' tour update
The Premier and Treasurer have just returned from their regional building for jobs tour and announced a plan to get young Queenslanders apprenticeship ready.
The Queensland Government is investing a record $18.2 billion in the job-creating building program during the 2009-2010 financial year.
It's more than any other state and territory in Australia, protecting 127,000 local jobs right across Queensland.
Work is underway across Queensland, including:
- building new hospitals and upgrading existing ones
- building more roads
- new police stations and better schools
- new children's playgrounds, walking tracks and swimming pools.
The program is about jobs for now, but it's also about training opportunities so that we can build and hang on to the skills that we will need in better times.
The new Building Queensland site is a great way for you to find out the building program is delivering in your local community.
