A charity to support the families of children receiving medical treatment in Wagga Wagga will benefit from the generosity of construction workers from the National Life Sciences Hub project at Charles Sturt University (CSU). The project’s contractor, Joss Construction will donate $2 500 to Ronald McDonald House Wagga Wagga at 10am on Monday 7 May. The money has been raised by gold coin donations during fortnightly barbecues involving Joss Construction and sub-contractors working on the large complex since late 2010. Joss Construction hosted the regular barbecues to coincide with Site Safety Meetings. The $45 million National Life Sciences Hub is due to be handed over to the University’s Faculty of Science by July. It includes teaching laboratories, a research complex, glasshouses and controlled environment facilities for plant growth. The project has been jointly funded by the Federal Government as part of the Education Investment Fund and CSU.
