Australian Defence Industry Minister Melissa Price said: “This is a huge win for Tasmania, particularly the small businesses that stand to reap the benefits of this significant $57.4m investment.

“It is expected that 80% of the work will go to local industry, maximising opportunities for local businesses and giving the economy a real shot in the arm.

“With additional contract costs, our total investment comes to $57.4m, which is wonderful news for the Tasmanian economy.

“The construction workforce across the projects is predicted to be an average of 30 personnel, with a peak of around 80 workers per day across sites.”

Anglesea Barracks will also feature a new 1800 Defence Call Centre, which is expected to generate five new jobs.
