A new social enterprise commercial laundry project in the Bangalow Industrial Estate is being proposed by Labor, and if elected, the local MP Justine Elliot says it will fill the void, as currently no large-scale commercial laundry is located in Byron Shire.
Estimated at $750,000, the social enterprise project would be ‘run by social enterprise White Box Enterprises, which runs similar projects across the country’.
It’s hoped that the facility would attract long-term unemployed locals, ‘with an opportunity to build their work experience’, says Mrs Elliot.
