SEVEN East Timorese construction workers will stay on the Coast and work on Circular Head's Studland Bay wind farm as part of a Hazell Bros training program. Managing director Geoffrey Hazell said the seven men would get to work with equipment and machinery that was not available in East Timor. "The opportunity for these workers to experience such a project in terms of size and complexity, including roads, concreting and electrical work, is currently unavailable in East Timor, and this experience will be invaluable, " he said. The men will work in Tasmania for up to six months.

Hazell Bros was involved in construction work in East Timor from 2000 to 2003 as part of the country's rehabilitation.
