President of the Federation of Indian Communities of Queensland (FICQ) Dr. Preethi Suraj together with Shyane Newmann MP, her advisers, and community representatives, welcomed Assistant Minister for Immigration Matt Thistlethwaite MP to the site of the upcoming “House of India” community and cultural centre in Greater Springfield.
During the visit, the delegation guided the Assistant Minister through the location, outlining the vision for the centre and its potential to serve as a landmark initiative for Queensland’s multicultural landscape. Backed by a $5.5 million election commitment from the Labor Party, the project underscores strong government support for multiculturalism and community development.
Once complete, the House of India will stand as a vibrant hub for the Indian community, hosting cultural programs, community gatherings, and educational initiatives. Importantly, it is also envisioned as an inclusive space for all residents of Ipswich, encouraging diversity, interaction, and stronger social connections across communities.
The project reflects a shared commitment to fostering cultural pride while promoting harmony and unity within Queensland’s multicultural society.
