Defence homes completed in Tasmania

10 Defence houses in Howrah, Tasmania were completed as part of the Nation Building-Economic-Stimulus Plan.

Local award winning builders, Wilson Homes, were employed to construct the 10 houses and they in turn employed local sub-contractors where they could in support of the local Tasmanian economy.

The project cost a total of $2.7 million and is part of the $245.58 million allocated to Defence Housing Australia to build 802 Defence homes throughout Australia. Due to program efficiencies an additional 27 houses have been contracted bringing the total to 829. All houses are expected to be completed by March 2011.
