Victoria’s booming population is putting pressure on housing and infrastructure. In this, an election year, we are all keen to hear how this year’s State Budget will alleviate that stress. Will there be ample opportunities for builders and commercial contractors? Will there be clear strategies for stimulating home building activity? And will the work available be worth pursuing?
A range of big ticket, major infrastructure items have been flagged in this year’s budget including the East West Link, Airport Rail Link and widespread rail upgrades and level crossing removals. But what exactly will this all mean for you?
On Thursday, 22 May at the next Master Builders Industry Breakfast you will have an exclusive opportunity to hear directly from State Treasurer Michael O’Brien, who will provide a State Budget Briefing. This will be your opportunity to hear first-hand about the opportunities that are ahead in the construction sector and the next wave of major projects that the government is funding and delivering.
Our Industry Breakfast will boost your knowledge of how and your company can benefit from:
- Melbourne’s East West Link;
- The Airport Rail Link;
- Cranbourne-Pakenham rail line upgrades;
- The CityLink-Tullamarine corridor upgrade;
- Level crossing upgrades;
- Community infrastructure planning; and,
- Actions to stimulate home building activity.
There will also be time for you to have your questions answered by the Treasurer.
The State Government promises to pursue an ambitious program of construction works worth billions of dollars that will generate investment in our sector for years to come. Don’t miss out on your opportunity to be a part of it and have your questions answered.
