$20 million contract awarded for NSW rail centre
A $20 million contract has been awarded to deliver major electrical works at Dubbo’s Mindyarra Maintenance Centre in New South Wales.
Six locals will be recruited to carry out the works under the contract awarded to ARA Indigenous Services.
Nationals Member for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders, said the awarding of this contract to a registered Aboriginal business is great news.
“I encourage everyone to apply for the new roles needed to get this work done, including two electricians, two trades’ assistants and two project administrators,” Mr Saunders said.
“This is another example of why we chose to build the new rail centre in Dubbo: to support the new fleet, stimulate our economy and help create sustainable job opportunities and skills.”
ARA Indigenous Services Strategy and Growth Manager, Rohan Tobler-Williams, said the company is very excited to be part of the Regional Rail Project.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for us to make a meaningful contribution towards Aboriginal recruitment in the Dubbo region,” Mr Tobler-Williams said.
