HIA welcomes today's announcement on skilled migration and the State Government’s negotiations with the Federal Government to increase the number of places in the State
Nominated Migration program.
“The 5000 State Nominated Visas’ gives the Cook Government control of who and how our state’s critical skill shortages are addressed” stated HIA Executive Director Michael McGowan.
“Housing is repeatedly announced as a priority for the State, and HIA urges the Cook Government to use a minimum of 80% of these places on construction visas.”
"Anything less is a wasted opportunity to dramatically improve housing in our State,” said Mr McGowan.
“The Cook Government must also work with industry to facilitate smooth transitions for these workers into construction.”
“Today's announcement presents an opportunity, and the execution and collaboration with industry and Government GTEs like Western Power will ultimately determine if it is a success or not.”
Michael McGowan is available for further comment.
