Last week I had the pleasure of attending a sod turning event at the CQUniversity campus of engineering. Also with me was Professor Scott Bowman, the vice-chancellor of the university; representatives from the Gladstone port authority; and representatives from ConocoPhillips, who also shared in some funding. In total it was $12.5 million for the project, with $10 million from the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development. The project will create 100 jobs in construction and, of course, many, many more when the project is finished in February 2019. The campus will combine with the Derby Street old TAFE village, and together they will provide very adequate training services in Gladstone now and into the future.

The SPEAKER: In accordance with standing order 43, the time for members' statements has concluded.
