Victoria’s civil construction industry continues to face significant headwinds caused by an array of current and emerging issues.

From the scandal-plagued CFMEU now facing allegations of organised crime, corruption, threats of violence against workers and outright industrial sabotage to concerns about a shrinking state infrastructure budget, contractors are understandably concerned for the future.

HAVE YOUR SAY

Which is why we need Members’ input to the Civil Contractors Federation national Market and Industry Survey.

This short survey will take no more than 7-10 minutes to complete and is crucially timed to capture your concerns about the current state of the civil infrastructure sector in Australia and Victoria.

With a federal election less than a year away and a state budget heading to $188 billion debt amid a forecast halving of infrastructure spending[1], now is the time to have your say.

Your input will also inform Infrastructure Australia’s annual Infrastructure Market Capacity Report and drive our engagement with the national and state governments, as we look to cement and strong, sustainable future for civil construction.

The Market and Industry Survey aims to gather data on workforce trends, project pipelines, regulatory impacts, industrial and economic outlooks.

Your participation is vital in providing an accurate picture of the current landscape, which will help inform our advocacy and strategic stakeholder engagement initiatives to address local issues and support you, our members, more effectively.
