Building Controls
Brisbane, July 17. – All home building controls may be lifted in Queensland shortly. It is believed the Labour and Industry Minister, Mr. Jones, is ready to recommend this to Cabinet.
A decision may be delayed, however, until the Premier, Mr. Gair, returns from his northern tour next month. The Government is expected to retain control on commercial buildings, but this control would be relaxed.
Another £380,000 was allocated by the State Government today for its housing projects. The Acting Premier, Mr. Duggan, announced this after a special committee had reviewed the State finances to find more money for housing.
The £380,000 would keep in employment 60 per cent of the Housing Commission’s 640 day labourers. Efforts would be made to absorb the displaced employees in other works.
