The Queensland construction industry is booming with more than 100,000 migrants moving to the sunshine state during Covid alone. It seems everyone is moving in on Queensland! Is it any surprise with the 2032 Olympic Games – the first to be carbon positive – just round the corner?
In addition, the South East Queensland population is forecast to grow by 1.8m by 2031 – resulting in a further 800k more dwellings added to housing stock. That’s a lot of timber!
These are all the topics that Wood You Like to Know will explore at a special Conference and Cocktail Event on March 30 at Gambaro’s Hotel in Brisbane.
