New Women’s shelter in Pormpuraaw

Two local men have commenced work on the construction of the new Women’s Shelter in Pormpuraaw. Both men have previous construction experience and white cards and have been able to gain work with Strategic Builders who have the contract to complete the works. These men are excellent attenders at their WfD activity and have made it to the top of the list for recommendations to the contractors due to this.

Great job so far – we are excited to see the final product!
