“Local works by local business equals local jobs,” Mrs Gilbert said.
“And here we’ll see another six jobs supported in the Mackay region, adding to those 100 already created as part of the Palaszczuk Government’s recent $17 million investment in the port.
“We’re building a new $8.5 million tug berth facility, delivering major road upgrades including the $120 million Mackay Northern Access upgrade and these works to be carried out by Razor are vital to supporting our industries and more jobs.
“Safety is the priority, and with it being unused for a number of years and a recent inspection identifying it was no longer safe, the port has engaged a local business to carry out these necessary works.”
