About the report

What is the outlook for building and construction in each of Australia’s regions?

Which sectors will have the greatest impact in each region?

‘Australian Regional Construction Outlook’ takes a closer look at all of the regional construction markets in Australia. This report is critical for organisations making strategic decisions and undertaking planning on a regional basis.

The report contains extensive historical data, as well as annual forecasts for the next ten years. Data is in real work done terms (constant prices). In the residential sector, we also provide numbers of dwellings by region. An extensive list of tables and charts is provided, with each construction sub-sector split by region.

Project listings are provided for each region for non-residential building and engineering construction. Selected approvals value data is also provided for the building sector.

The report is published four times per year.
