Constructors months ahead at BWEZ
Winslow Constructors is set to commence work on Stage 4 – Liberator Drive Extensions of the Ballarat West Employment Zone (BWEZ) after recently completing Stage 2, two months ahead of schedule.
Stage 2 civil works included drainage, sewer mains, pump station and rising main, gas, water, electrical and NBN connections along with internal roadworks, and bio-retention basins, laying the foundations for the industrial precinct adjacent to Ballarat Airport.
Winslow is sourcing almost all materials from local suppliers during the precinct’s ongoing build and is on track to ensure half the 136 construction jobs go to locals.
Once completed, BWEZ is expected to create 1200 jobs for the local community.
After a recent visit to the BWEZ site, Victoria’s Minister for Regional Development Gayle Tierney MP praised Winslow’s focus on creating opportunities for the local community.
“It is fantastic to see BWEZ taking shape, with local jobs, materials and opportunities for apprentices and trainees playing such a crucial role in bringing this important project to life,” Ms Tierney said.
Winslow is determined to create opportunities for the communities we work in – it’s the Winslow Way.
