In comparison to the rest of the Australian construction industry, residential construction has been more impacted due to coronavirus outbreak.

To boost the demand and growth of residential construction, the treasury announced the Homebuilder program on June 4, 2020. Under the program, the government will be providing eligible owner-occupiers a grant of AUD 25,000.

Commercial and retail construction sector is estimated to have declined by over 31% in 2020. The value of the commercial activity is expected to decline in 2021, before stabilizing in 2022-23.

Construction activity in office, hospitality, and education sectors are all expected to contract significantly. While health and retail have favorable projections, it will not be enough to overcome the slowdown in the commercial sector.

Moreover, the government is also offering funding for accelerating the implementation of the 5G network in the country.
