Housing and Public Works Minister Mick de Brenni has officially opened the new NRL Cowboys House Girls’ Campus in Townsville today, as the nation acknowledges International Women’s Day.
The girls’ campus opened its doors to 30 young women from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
The Palaszczuk Government invested $12 million towards construction of the House, which supported more than 80 local jobs during its construction, and has also committed $2.5 million over four years to support its operation.
