Mirabella welcomes Bandiana upgrade
“I am delighted that the Howard Government will invest $36.9million to upgrade facilities at the Bandiana defence facility,” Sophie Mirabella, the Federal Member for Indi, said today.
“This new upgrade will improve Bandiana’s warehouse facilities, and will further cement the importance of Wodonga as a key national logistics hub.”
In an announcement at the launch of Mrs Mirabella’s campaign, the Minister for Defence, Brendan Nelson, announced the new project that will include civil works, removal of aged and obsolete buildings, the construction of new buildings and service works.
Minister Nelson’s media release is attached.
“Most importantly, this means more local jobs, which will in turn feed the local economy,” Mrs Mirabella said.
“It is only possible to invest in vital national infrastructure like this as a result of our strong national economy. If our economy is put at risk, investment in infrastructure will also be put at risk.”
“The election of a Labor/Union Government, with 70% of Ministers as former trade union officials, poses a significant risk to our economy.”

Minister Nelson's press release:
I am pleased to announce that the Federal Government will invest $36.9 million to construct a new purpose built warehousing facility at East Bandiana, Victoria.
The new warehousing facility will provide effective warehousing support to the ADF and enhance the national and regional logistic storage support provided by the Bandiana Military Area.
The project includes civil works, removal of aged and obsolete buildings, the construction of new buildings and service works.
The construction of these facilities reaffirms the Howard Government's commitment to providing modern facilities to support the ADF.
Subject to parliamentary clearance, construction is planned to commence in May 2009 with completion expected in late 2010.
This year the Government will continue to make a financial contribution of around $200M to fund both Defence facilities and personnel in Indi.
