"The Minister for Human Services, Lin Thorp, announced that work would start immediately on the construction of 50 Quick Build homes to help meet the State’s shortage of affordable housing. Ms Thorp said Tasmanian construction firm Eco-Fab Pty Ltd had won the $8 million tender for the first stage of the Quick Build project, part of the Government’s $60 million statewide investment in affordable housing innovation. She said the new homes would be delivered on Housing Tasmania land across the state - 21 in the south, 12 in the north and 17 in the north west – with completion expected from May next year. “This is great news for Tasmanians struggling with housing affordability,” Ms Thorp said."
