(Forthcoming March 2009)

A detailed annual study on the outlook for the civil engineering construction sector in Australia. Covers 12 sub-sectors of construction, from the main infrastructure sectors through to mines and heavy industrial facilities.

This sector is now experiencing boom levels of activity following a sustained period of growth stretching back to the start of the 1990's. The resources boom is a key driver of activity now, as is public investment in transport, water and energy infrastructure.
