The Tasmanian Liberal Government is supporting state-of-the-art infrastructure investments across Tasmania as part of the 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania's Future.
Liberal Member for Bass, Michael Ferguson, said it was an honour to join key stakeholders in celebrating one of Tasmania's most innovative and sustainable building projects right here in Launceston.
"The St Lukes building is a public-private success story with the State Government contributing $1 million towards the new build as part of round two of our Building Projects Support Program we designed to protect the construction sector during the pandemic," Mr Ferguson said.
"Such a major investment in Launceston's CBD is a show of confidence in our city and demonstrates business growth in Northern Tasmania.
"This is evident by the blue-chip tenants taking up leases in the building including Allianz, Salveo, Newton & Henry, ReadyTech and now Bank of Us announced today.
"This economic boost is addition to the construction phase which supported innovative Tasmanian design, construction and timber engineering businesses."
