Townsville Barracks Reconstruction

A joint Parliamentary committee has met to consider plans for a massive reconstruction of Townsville's Lavarack Barracks.

The Government is expected to contribute nearly $800 million to the project as part of a relocation of the parachuting 3rd Battalion RAR to Lavarack from Sydney.
