Australia | Road maintenance races ahead, construction in pit stop
Governments around Australia pursued an ‘infrastructure-led recovery’ to kickstart the economy following the coronavirus induced 2020 recession.

What you will learn:
- Public funded road construction activity fell 4.4% over FY21 to an estimated $11bn, its lowest annual level since FY15

- Major government funded projects are expected to see public road construction activity increase from $11bn in FY21 to a record $19.9bn in FY24
