Minister Andrews, a qualified Mechanical Engineer, was reportedly “extremely interested in the AIC development and positive about the potential of the facility to benefit the automotive industry in Australia in a meaningful way”.
AAAA headquarters has moved from Clayton to the new AIC complex, located at 7 Bastow Place in Mulgrave.
