Major developers and peak building industry bodies have slammed the NSW government’s decision to put the brakes on construction work, labelling it an over-reach that will cost the economy billions of dollars and lead to substantial job losses.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced on Saturday that construction would be paused for two weeks, in a move to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Industry representatives met with the NSW government on Monday afternoon as part of their daily talks to make the case for a staged reopening over the next fortnight. However, state representatives signalled they wanted a uniform reopening.
