Last week, we welcomed the Governor-General of Australia His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Retd) and his wife, Mrs Hurley to our Casuarina Remote Laundries project.
The visit provided the opportunity to showcase the project’s growth since their visit in 2021 and discuss our plans for expansion across the NT over the coming three years.
"Their Excellencies are always lifted by projects with clear results being achieved."
