Queensland leads nation with record 52,500 houses under construction
New ABS data shows a record 52,500 homes are under construction in Queensland, the most of any state. The figure points to a strong residential building boom across the state.
Why it matters: Builders, carpenters, plumbers and electricians in Queensland are likely to see strong demand for work, though a busy pipeline can also tighten supply of labour and materials.
Builders get reprieve as ATO postpones credit card ban
The federal government has delayed the ATO's proposed ban on credit card payments. Builders, tradies and suppliers get more time while a longer-term solution is developed.
Why it matters: Builders, tradies and suppliers can keep using credit cards for payments for now. This protects cash flow and payment timing while a permanent fix is worked out.
Unemployment up, but building workforce remains tight
ABS Labour Force data for September shows the unemployment rate rose to 4.7 per cent. The headline says the building workforce is still tight despite the rise. The available text is cut off, so further detail is not confirmed.
Why it matters: Builders and other construction trades may still find it hard to hire and keep skilled workers even as overall unemployment rises. That could keep pressure on labour costs and project timelines.
