Loading ...AUSTRALIA — Construction of Mickleham quarantine camp starts
“Construction is under way at Melbourne’s Centre for National Resilience – the unwieldy name given to the new quarantine facility in Mickleham – with the camp set to open by the end of the year.
A community engagement session was held earlier this week on progress of the fast-tracked 1000-bed accommodation site for returning travellers, however residents were told that builders would not be delayed by any consultation process.
Multiplex has been engaged to construct the facility, with 80 per cent of the buildings to be prefabricated off-site. The centre can be extended to 3000 beds but will be operational as soon as 500 are ready later this year.”
“Hume City Council mayor Joseph Haweil said the facility was not following a full consultation process if people were unable to oppose it.
“I would say it’s less being consulted, more being informed,” he said.”
