Building The Next Decade - Major CAPEX and Workforce Outlook

Australia has committed to the largest overlapping build in a generation. Public infrastructure, energy transmission, data centres, hospitals, housing and resources are all crossing the same window — and in Queensland, six of them peak together.

The money is committed. The workforce is not.

This paper sets out what the numbers actually say: where the demand lands, which occupations are short, what happened the last time Australia tried to build faster than it could staff, and what the organisations that delivered did differently. Every headline figure carries a certainty grade and a named source.

Who is it for?

Owners, contractors, government agencies and delivery leaders making capital and workforce decisions between now and 2032. It assumes you already know your own pipeline. It sets out the labour market you will be competing in to deliver it.
