Today I welcomed Housing Minister Rose Jackson to Wagga for discussions on the housing challenges facing our city.

Following the tragic death of a baby born in a tent at Wagga Beach, the Minister took the opportunity to explain further details of the plan to transition rough sleepers living in encampments to appropriate accommodation with associated support services.

Later, with Wagga Mayor Cr Dallas Tout, we inspected construction of one of six new modular duplex buildings which will deliver 12 new three-bedroom homes in Wagga
