In addition to Greenvale, the Morrison government is further investing in the Shoalwater Bay Training Area in Central Queensland. Both of these investments in North and Central Queensland coincide very happily with the 30th anniversary of the Singapore Armed Forces training right here in Australia. This $2.25 billion dollar Australian-Singapore Military Training Initiative will meet the future needs of both our own Australian Defence Force and also the Singapore Armed Forces. As part of this initiative, we're investing $800 million into Central Queensland's Capricorn region. The Shoalwater Bay investment will support 47 local companies and 450 workers at the peak of construction. This is further evidence that Queenslanders can trust the Morrison government to bolster regional growth and also to support local jobs.
