Engineering construction down 10.3pc

Are we there yet?

Engineering construction was higher over the year in New South Wales thanks to infrastructure works, and in Tasmania.

Otherwise...


Down 10.3 per cent year-on-year at the national level, as resources construction activity still fails to inspire. 


Roads, highways, and light rail in Sydney were the main bright spot, otherwise poor.

The Northern Territory economy has been shot to pieces as the Ichthys/Inpex project construction has wound up, and people are leaving the Top End.
