Share
The boss of Australia’s largest cement group says the $150 billion pipeline of infrastructure projects under way or on the drawing board will more than offset any slowdown in residential construction once the current “pull-forward” in demand levels out.
Adbri chief executive Nick Miller said the robust conditions in residential construction were likely to continue in the short term, although there are some worries on the horizon if international migration remains banned as authorities wrestle with the difficulties of the COVID-19 pandemic.
