“The liquidation of civil excavation company Exel Infragroup is impacting several subcontractors involved in the Andrews Labor Government’s North-East Line Project, including Synergy Traffic Management of Shepparton.

“These sub-contractors are small businesses already doing it tough in the current economic climate and the fact that they remain unpaid for work completed on a State Government project is unacceptable. Synergy Traffic Management alone is owed $63,000,” said Ms Lovell.

“The Andrews Labor Government must step in and ensure all sub-contractors who have undertaken work on State Government infrastructure are paid in full and I call on Minister for Transport Infrastructure Jacinta Allan to ensure payments are made immediately.”
