As a result of Queensland’s regular tropical storms from both the Arafura and Coral Seas, the state is always looking to improve its infrastructure. However, in many cases, construction teams can’t get to particular site in time and the strong winds and rain impact on vital roads and other facilities.
When the right business conditions are present, there is a lot that small and medium enterprises can achieve in Queensland. Whether in investing in new apprentices or workers, adopting new technology or branching out to new customers, confidence plays a massive role in the stability of the state economy.
Stretching from Brisbane in the south to Cairns in the north, the 1,652km Bruce Highway is arguably the most important road in Queensland. With cities, infrastructure and the general public relying on the highway to be in the best condition, there are always upgrade announcements – increasing the scope for construction apprentices across the state.
The Sunshine Coast is one of the fastest growing regions in Queensland, with infrastructure hitting record levels – a great sign for construction businesses and apprentices alike.
The Gold Coast’s tourist infrastructure has received plenty of attention in recent years as the city prepares for the upcoming Commonwealth Games. Along with dedicated sporting facilities to support some of the world’s best athletes, the city is also seeing an increasing investment in transport and hotel developments.
Queensland is seeing significant population growth, which is putting pressure on local infrastructure. The Redbank Plains area near Ipswich is no different, with the 2011 census recording close to 15,000 residents.
Queensland has experienced a significant rise in domestic travellers over the last year, a trend that is expected to improve job opportunities in the state.
The $1.162 billion Gateway Upgrade North initiative has entered the final design stage, with the project expected to be a boon for Queensland jobs.
More than $59 million in newly announced funding will go toward important infrastructure projects, helping support thousands of jobs in Queensland.
The Queensland government has introduced a new piece of legislation in the state parliament aimed at boosting the vocational education and training (VET) sector.
