Over the historical period 2004 to 2012 the average increase in West Moreton construction expenditures was of the order of $30 million per annum. That is between 20 the population increase per annum increases to 2500 while over the second half of the projection period the increase is 3600 per annum. 83 The profile for West Moreton in terms of construction activity reflects that of a region where the change in population is relatively small on a state-wide basis, that is just under 2000 per annum but accelerating over the period.83 3.7.6 Regional construction activity profile – West Moreton.83 3.7.5 Regional construction activity profile – Sunshine Coast.82 3.7.4 Regional construction activity profile – Gold Coast.81 3.7.3 Regional construction activity profile – Brisbane.81 3.7.2 The regional construction growth dynamics.80 3.7.1 The regional dimension – a macro view.75 ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION: SHARE OF ENGINEERING TOTAL.70 3.6 Queensland’s construction share of total Australian construction.70 3.5.5 Private and public engineering expenditure.68 3.5.3 Major Queensland engineering projects.65 3.5.2 Queensland mining investment and activity.During this period the major other contributions to Queensland total engineering construction activity comes from rail and electricity generation investment. This is almost identical to the total average annual decline in the total engineering construction growth rate. The downward trend in the level of heavy industry construction activity continues for the period 2016 to 2019 with the average annual contribution to total Queensland construction expenditure growth being -4.3%. In 2015 with the downwards phase in LNG investment commencing heavy industry investment subtracts 13.9% of total Queensland engineering construction expenditure growth rates with the overall decline in total engineering expenditure being 10.3%. 64 In 2014 the turn down in non-LNG mining investment heavy industries abstract 7.7 percentage points from total Queensland engineering construction expenditures which is very close to the projected total decline in activity.64 3.5.1 Engineering: the general profile to 2022.63 3.4.4 Total non-residential building activity.62 3.4.3 Major Queensland non-residential building projects.61 3.4.2 Public non-residential building activity.58 3.4.1 Private non-residential building.55 3.3.3 Total Queensland private dwelling construction expenditures.54 3.3.1 New dwelling construction post 2013.53 3.2 Total construction: A comparison with last year’s Annual Report.
