“Part of the deal is a new manufacturing facility in Toowoomba to be open by mid 2012,” said Premier Anna Bligh.

 

The contract has been awarded to Iplex Pipelines, a division of Fletcher Building, supplies and distributes pipeline systems and manufactures pipelines from 15mm to 2000mm in diameter for services including plumbing, water supply, gas, sewerage, storm water, irrigation, telecommunications, and electricity.
