It is my pleasure to celebrate the work of the Tasmanian housing industry by presenting awards at the HIA Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards Dinner tonight.
The Tasmanian Government recognises that the building and construction industry is a driver of the local economy, and the HIA has been a significant contributor to the development of our new building framework.
This sort of partnership is a great example of how Government and industry can work together to ensure we have a vital, highly skilled and highly professional industry that serves the needs of all Tasmanians.
I thank all the entrants for their hard work and commitment and congratulate all the winners on their achievements.
