Work has begun on a $13.5M School of Advanced Manufacturing at Gladstoneâs CQUni Marina campus.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison joined Federal Member for Flynn, Ken OâDowd and CQUniversity vice-chancellor and president Professor Nick Klomp to turn the sod on the project that seeks to âturbochargeâ manufacturing capability in the region.
