Denison matters
The Independent Member for Denison, Andrew Wilkie, has welcomed the announcement of the $70m UTas student accommodation development in Hobart.
Mr Wilkie said the Federal Government’s $55m contribution to the project would take the amount of extraordinary federal funding benefiting Denison since the 2010 election to almost $900m.
“This is another sign that Denison matters and is on the radar in Canberra,’’ Mr Wilkie said.
“While this proposal has been funded on its merits, it’s heartening to see the lack of funding to Denison over the past two decades righted.’’
