5 Construction Projects Helping to Boost the Economy

The impacts of COVID-19 are being clearly felt all around Australia, but the Australian government and the construction industry will play a leading role in our economic recovery. This is made apparent by the strong investment in funding for new community infrastructure and the many construction projects currently underway around Australia. In this blog post Advanced Group will be sharing 5 significant projects which skilled labourers and construction workers may be interested in. Activity in the construction industry is high, so now is a great time to register on our database and secure an exciting new job.

Here are 5 of the top construction projects in Australia which will help the economy bounce back:

1. Inland Rail
The Inland Rail project will connect Melbourne and Brisbane via a 1700km railway, making it possible for freight to be transported interstate in 24 hours or less. The project is due for completion in 2025, and there will be plenty of work to go around if you are keen to get involved. The Inland Rail will drastically improve the Australian freight network, leading to cost savings for both products and consumers and helping to stimulate economic growth.

2. Western Sydney International Airport
Sydney-siders can look forward to having another international airport in 2026. This project is currently underway, and it will generate economic activity and provide a wide range of jobs both during the construction phase as well as in the future once it is up and running. PM Scott Morrison has stated that the construction phase is expected to result in the creation of around 11,000 new jobs.

3. Parramatta Light Rail
Parramatta is undergoing rapid change, and it is the fastest-growing satellite CBD in Australia. The Parramatta Light Rail is being built to better serve the growing population, enabling easier access to employment, leisure opportunities and essential services. This project is expected to be completed by 2021, and by 2026 it is estimated that about 28,000 people will use this light rail daily. The COVID-19 pandemic has not affected construction which is still ongoing, but there will be a 3 month halt from 1 November.

4. Residential Projects (Homebuilder)
The announcement of the HomeBuilder grant means that there will be plenty of residential projects starting up soon. It Is expected that more than 4000 new homes will be constructed across NSW, some of which will be social and affordable housing.

5. Barangaroo
Barangaroo is a globally renowned urban renewal project set on the waterfront of the Sydney CBD. It will involve the completion of Barangaroo South as well as Crown Sydney Hotel Resort, a new public pier, upgrade of Hickson Road and the new Barangaroo Sydney Metro Station. Things are already looking great, but there’s plenty more work to come. If you’re keen to get involved, now is the time to register with one of Sydney’s leading labour hire agencies.
