Anna visits Toowoomba and Ipswich
Today Anna went to Toowoomba and visited John Smith, a homeowner who could benefit from her new solar hot water scheme – which will also help create jobs.
Queensland families will save up to $300 a year on their electricity bills and dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions under a re-elected Bligh Government’s new solar hot water program.
The plan will create up to 500 installation jobs and 300 manufacturing, maintenance and distribution jobs across the State.
“This will deliver up to 200,000 solar hot water systems to Queensland families for $500 each - a fraction of the retail price of electric systems - over the next three years,” Anna said.
“In Toowoomba alone, local company Solahart, who already employ around 12 people estimate they will create around 12 new jobs because of our plan.”
After Toowoomba, Anna visited Riverlink Shopping Centre in Ipswich and chatted to locals.
