Labor Leader Bryan Green has congratulated Huon Aquaculture on the opening of its new processing facility at Parramatta Creek.
“Congratulations to Peter and Frances Bender and the whole Huon Aquaculture team,” Mr Green said.
“This is a terrific commitment to Tasmania from the company and a boost for the state’s economy.”
The Federal Government funding for the project was secured as part of the Tasmanian Forest Agreement process.
“Labor was very proud to leverage around $100 million in Commonwealth funding for economic development in Tasmania.
“The Liberals of course opposed the Forest Agreement process from start to finish.”
Mr Green said Labor will continue to be a strong supporter of the aquaculture industry.
“Aquaculture is a shining light in Tasmania’s economy and a major employer.
“We’re proud of the role we’ve played in the sector’s growth and Labor stands ready to help the industry expand further in the future.”
