Mrs Kiernan said the complex was constructed as part of the Government Employee Housing Scheme and would provide quality accommodation for local Queensland Health employees.

Mrs Kiernan said she had been advocating for additional accommodation in the district for government employees.

"Having good accommodation certainly helps in attracting and retaining quality staff," she said.

The four-unit complex built was by the Department of Public Works in Mount Isa and comprised three, two-bedroom units and one three-bedroom unit.

"This is one of a number of housing projects we are building in Mount Isa, including units in Gray Street and in Fourth Ave," Mrs Kiernan said.
