CURRENT MINING-DRIVEN CIVIL CONSTRUCTION BOOM TO END IN 2015

摘要

Annual civil construction activity, supercharged by the resources boom, is expected to peak in 2014/15 at over $125 billion - nearly 50% above 2010/11 levels - according to leading industry analyst and economic forecaster, BIS Shrapnel. According to its new civil construction report, Engineering Construction in Australia 2011/12 - 2025/26, BIS Shrapnel says civil work undertaken will jump around 27% over 2011/12 alone - or a whopping $23 billion - driven by a surge in mining and LNG-related works as well as flood reconstruction efforts in Queensland.
