Austrália Desempenho da Industria de Construção

Total construction work in Australia rose 3.0% quarter-on-quarter in Q2 2025, strongly recovering from a downwardly revised 0.3% decline in Q1 and easily exceeding market expectations of 0.7% growth.

In contrast, growth slowed in building construction (0.2% vs 0.8%) and residential activity (0.1% vs 1.4%). Regionally, gains were recorded in South Australia (1.6%), Tasmania (2.4%), the Northern Territory (344.8%), and the Australian Capital Territory (17.5%), while declines were seen in New South Wales (-1.7%), Victoria (-1.5%), Queensland (-1.6%), and Western Australia (-1.5%).
