Queensland and Queensland region construction activity: Quarterly projection update –


1

1. Introduction

This update is for the September quarter 2014. There is a complete set of data available for the March quarter 2014 for all building data. Engineering construction data is available for the June 2014 quarter. All years are in fiscal years so for example 2014 would refer to the 2013-14 fiscal year.

1.1 Revisions to data and price base

It should not be assumed that just because the data is available to the June quarter that this will represent the final estimate. Preliminary estimates are continually being revised, especially over the next two to three quarters and, from time to time, the historical data can be significantly revised.

It should also be noted that the price base is the 2011-12 year.

1.2 The world and Australian economy

The risks to the World economy and Australia can be classified under a number of different headings. Firstly, there is the global security deficit risk under which falls those factors which are leading to increased political and military tension between the major world economies. These factors are increasing and operate in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and North Asia. If these factors cannot be contained then there is likely to be major shocks to the world economy in terms of trade disruption, sanctions, investment barriers and a major diversion of resources to military arms build-ups.

The second risk is financial risk. The initial reaction to the GFC was a commitment to develop global based rules of financial regulation to stop the excessive borrowing, shadow banking and reckless lending that led to the GFC. Unfortunately, strong progress in regulation has been limited to unilateral actions and strong across-the-board financial market global solutions have proved elusive. Some believe that the financial instability associated with the GFC will be repeated over the next few years.

The third risk is the secular stagnation risk. The secular stagnation risk recognises that the developed world in particular is characterised by a liquidity trap situation where interest rates have fallen as low as they can go with the result that monetary policy is ineffective in stimulating aggregate demand. With governments unwilling to use fiscal policy because of (largely unwarranted) public sector debt considerations there are no tools available to bring aggregate demand up to the level that is necessary to restore confidence and high long-term growth.

In the case of Australia there is meltdown risk. A meltdown is characterised by an economy subject to firstly a balance of payments crisis, then an exchange rate crisis and finally a banking crisis. This risk flows from the fact that Australia’s gross international debt and short-term debt as a percentage of GDP are currently well in excess of the values that prevailed for those countries that have suffered a meltdown over the last 16 years. That is, the Asian economies in 1997 and the European economies in 2009. More importantly, the meltdown risk will increase significantly over the coming years as the current account deficit increases, debt to GDP ratios further increase and the difficulties associated with a significantly overvalued currency returning to more normal levels.



2

Perhaps the best indicator of Australian economic vulnerability is given in Figure 1, as Australia’s annual foreign debt borrowing requirement or foreign debt of less than one year to maturity plus the projected current deficit less foreign reserves. This is currently running at a third of GDP, but at a purchasing power parity exchange rate of 70 cents to the US dollar it would be 43 per cent of GDP.

In the past, countries with rates above 25 per cent of GDP have been subject to exchange rate-balance of payments-banking crisis.

The fact that a large part of the foreign debt is held by banks, or approximately 30 per cent of total liabilities, means that the risk is that a banking crisis will be triggered by a balance of payments crisis.

Figure 1: Australia – Short-term international borrowing requirement to GDP ratio

The general economic outlook for the Australian economy is one where the trend rate of growth is below the historical benchmarks. Growth is high over 2015 and 2016, however, this largely reflects the high levels of mining investment and in particular LNG. Although the population growth rate does fall it is unlikely to fall to the levels required to prevent further steady increases in the unemployment rate, which reaches over 8 per cent by the end of the projection period.

1.3 The national economy

The Australian economy is currently growing at a quarterly trend rate of growth at 0.77% per quarter, or 3.1% on an annual basis. The next two years should see Australia’s economic growth averaging around 3.8% per annum.

Dwelling investment expenditure is projected to grow on average 8.2% over the next two years, due to population pressures. Non-dwelling construction is projected to decline by an average 2% per annum over 2015 and 2016.

The labour market is likely to continue to deteriorate, with the slow increases in the headline unemployment rate that have occurred 2014 likely to continue. This will ensure that whatever acceleration in growth occurs, it is likely to be a modest acceleration.

The projected recovery in the world economy is likely to be an essential ingredient for any acceleration in the Australian economic growth rate. This, of course, will depend on events in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

1.4 The Queensland economy

The latest data suggests that the underlying growth in the Queensland economy is running at close to 3.5% on an annual basis. Over the next two years, the annual growth rate is projected to average just under 4%. Dwelling investment and consumption are key drivers, with private consumption accounting for over 45% of the economic growth. Mining investment is slowing and the LNG construction phase is passed causing private investment to decline with an average rate of 15.7% over 2015 and 2016.

Private dwelling investment is projected to grow at almost 11% per annum over 2015 and 2016. The government sector has consumption growth averaging 2.2% over 2015 and 2016, but public investment is flat with a decline of 9.5% in 2015 and a counter-balancing rise of 8.9% in 2016.

1.5 Queensland construction forecasts

Based on the latest data, total Queensland construction activity increased by 5.6% over 2013-14.

In the June quarter 2014 Queensland construction expenditure declined by 2.8% compared to the March quarter 2014 after declining by 3.5% in the March quarter compared to the December quarter 2013. The projection for the September quarter 2014 indicates total construction expenditure of $14.8 billion a decline of 3.3% compared to the June quarter 2014. Residential construction expenditure grew by 2.1%, non-residential construction expenditure grew by 6.9% and engineering construction declined by 6.0% in the June quarter 2014 compared to the March quarter 2014. The projection for the September quarter shows residential construction growing at 1.1%, non-residential construction steady and engineering construction declining at 5.6%.

Non-residential expenditures remain relatively steady over 2015 with gains of just $18 million, for 2016 the growth in non-residential expenditures is 2.8% compared to 2015 representing $200 million. For private residential construction an increase of $1.2 billion in 2015 is followed by a similar increase in 2016. A $7.6 billion decrease in engineering construction expenditure for 2015 is followed in 2016 by a further large decline of $2.2 billion.

Over the 2014 and 2016 fiscal years Queensland construction activity is projected to decline by $6.4 billion. The average annual growth rate for total construction from 2012 to 2016 is projected at a decline of 0.3%, significantly lower than the average annual growth of 6.0% for the 1993 to 2012.

Compared to the previous report there is a 1.6% upward revision to the level of Queensland construction activity in 2015, which is consistent with the upward adjustment to the 2015 growth rate of 0.5%. For 2016 there is an upward adjustment to the growth rate of 2.7%.

Table 2 outlines the contribution of the various construction sectors to construction growth. The main driver for construction growth over 2013-14 was engineering construction with a $2.4 billion increase in expenditure. This represents 71% of total construction growth. Dwellings increase total construction expenditure by $0.6 billion and Non-residential construction increased total construction growth by $0.3 billion in 2013-14. In 2014-15 dwelling construction increases total construction by $1.6 billion whilst engineering construction reduces total construction by $7.5 billion. For 2015-16 dwelling construction contributes over $1.4 billion to total construction growth whilst the contribution of non-residential construction is a positive contribution of $200 million and engineering construction has a negative contribution of $2.2 billion, resulting in a total decline of $500 million in 2015-16.

Construction prices declined by 0.3% over the June quarter this followed a smaller decline for the March quarter 2014 of 0.1%. Prices are projected to average 0.1% growth through the projection period. Construction prices for housing declined by 0.3% and 1% for the March and June quarters respectively. Over the projection period prices for residential construction will rise by an average of 0.1%. Non-residential construction prices have declined for each of the last two quarters, the average decline in non-residential prices over the projection period is 0.5%. Engineering construction price growth has been positive in each of the last three quarters, on average over the projection period a slight rise of 0.4% is projected.

Queensland population has been growing at an average of 25,000 persons over the last eight quarters. In contrast the next eight quarters are projected to average just 23,600 persons. Queensland population is projected to grow by under 2% from June 2014 through to June 2015. The fastest growing regions are Mackay at 2.8% and West Moreton at 2.6%. However the regions with the largest increase are Brisbane with 41,000 and Gold Coast with a 13,000 increase in population.

2. Private residential construction

2.1 Dwelling investment

The latest data indicates that for 2014 total private Queensland residential construction activity increased by 4.6%. This partially reverses the decline of 6.8% in 2013. This was the first positive growth after four years of negative growth.

For private dwelling expenditure growth of 2% occurred over the June quarter 2014. The June quarter level of $3,787 million the highest since September quarter 2011. For September quarter 2014 growth of 1.0% is projected.

In 2015 private dwelling activity is projected to exhibit growth of 11.1%. This is followed in 2016 with growth of 8.9%. A contributor to this will be the ongoing low interest rates. There is a slight downward revision in projected dwelling activity in Queensland for 2015 of 0.2%. For 2016 the projection for Queensland dwelling activity has been revised upwards by a similar amount.

In the March quarter 2014 new private dwelling construction decreased by 5.8% compared to the December quarter 2013, for the June quarter new private construction rose by 2.1% whilst other work done increased by 5.8% for the March quarter and fell by a further 1.9% for June quarter 2014.

The outlook for 2015 is steady growth for renovation expenditures of 8.3% and for 2016 further growth of 4.9% is projected. The new construction profile shows growth of 12.6% for 2015 and 11.2% for 2016.

6. Prices and labour shortages

Recent growth in the labour-intensive dwelling construction sector has resulted in the first labour shortages since December 2011. For the June 2014 quarter Queensland had a construction labour shortage of around 2100 workers. The shortages will continue into 2015, for 2016 a return to labour surplus is projected as two years of decline in engineering construction impacts.

The labour shortage projected for 2015 is around 1,900, whilst the average surplus for 2016 is 5,000.

These small changes in labour supply means that construction costs are likely not rise over the next two years.

Based on the latest available Australian Bureau of Statistics figures it is estimated that for the September quarter 2014 there are 8,700 unemployed construction workers in Queensland, this was down 14% on the figure for same period in 2013. Just before the GFC in December 2007 the number of unemployed construction workers was around 3,700. Since then the number has ranged between 5,000 and 14,000.

The number employed in the construction industry in the December quarter 2008 was 246,000 the low point was the June quarter 2012 when 215,000 were employed in the construction industry in Queensland. The latest estimate for the September quarter 2014 is 227,000.

The implied unemployment rate for the construction industry for September quarter 2014 was 3.7%, the lowest since the June quarter 2013.

7. The regional dimension

The previous annual report gave a detailed analysis of the regional dynamics of Queensland construction activity. This update summarises those findings.

7.1 Regional construction activity profile – Brisbane

Table 16 indicates that, for the Brisbane region, since the beginning of the GFC in 2008, total dwelling construction fell by a cumulative total of $1.6 billion by 2013. This trend has now reversed, over 2014 total dwelling construction for Brisbane increased by $0.6 billion. The next two years should see a cumulative increase of $1 billion.

Over the next two years, from Table 6, Brisbane's population is expected to increase by 82,000. This accumulating pressure on the existing housing stock plus the fact that the Brisbane region is in balance in terms of housing affordability (defined as the ability of the average household to generate income from work sufficient to support a mortgage on new dwelling construction) has enabled the sharp increase in dwelling expenditure. As a result, there is a recovery of dwelling expenditure in 2014 of $630 million and an average of $530 million over the next two years.

The average contribution of total dwelling construction to Brisbane’s total construction growth rate will be 3.2 percentage points over 2015 and 2016.

Over the five fiscal years 2008-09 to 2012-13, Brisbane’s non-residential building expenditures fell by a cumulative $1.3 billion. The fall would have been greater if not for the public sector non-residential stimulus. The fall was driven by office project completions and for 2012 the winding back of the stimulus. In 2014 non-residential construction in Brisbane grew by $87 million, the first positive contribution in three years, adding just 0.5 percentage points to total Brisbane construction growth. The average contribution of non-residential construction to total construction in Brisbane over the next two years is 1 percentage point.

Engineering construction in Brisbane has been in decline since 2010, with a cumulative total fall of $2 billion, reducing total construction growth by an average 2 percentage points. Looking forward it is projected that the continued decline in engineering construction will outstrip the losses of the last 5 years, a further cumulative fall of $2.5 billion is projected over 2015 and 2016.

7.2 Regional construction activity profile – Gold Coast

From Table 17 it can be seen that the average annual decline in total dwelling construction expenditure over 2009 to 2013 was over $0.3 billion. This reduced Gold Coast construction growth by an average of 6.1 percentage points per year. Population is expected to grow by 26,000 over the next two years, this pressure has resulted in an increase of $230 million in dwelling expenditure over 2014 and should induce an increase in dwelling construction expenditure of around $366 million over each of the 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, contributing 10.5 percentage points to total construction growth in 2015 and 6.5 percentage points in 2016.

Over the fiscal years 2009 to 2013, total non-residential construction grew by a cumulative $71 million. However two of those five years showed significant declines in construction growth, 2010 with almost a billion dollars of mostly stimulus expenditure in non-residential construction completely countered the losses of the other years. Non-residential construction in the Gold Coast



28 28

grew by $174 million in 2014, contributing 4.8 percentage points to total construction growth for the Gold Coast. For 2015 and 2016 the cumulative total growth for non-residential construction will be in the order of $53 million contributing an average 1.3 percentage point to total Gold Coast construction growth.

Engineering construction reduced total construction activity by $280 million over the 2009 to 2013 period. In 2014 engineering construction contributed 1.4 percentage points to the growth in total construction, with engineering growth declining over the 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, the contribution of engineering expenditure to total growth will be -4.7 percentage points for 2015 and -5.7 percentage points 2016.

Total expenditure will increase by 16.5% for 2015, as the increases in dwelling expenditure and non-residential building expenditure counters the decline in engineering construction. In 2016 the growth in dwelling construction is not large enough to continue to outweigh the further declines in the other sectors, leading to a decline in total construction of 7.2% for the 2016 fiscal year.

7.3 Regional construction activity profile – Sunshine Coast

The past performance and future outlook for the Sunshine Coast is similar to the Gold Coast at least in terms of dwelling expenditures. Between 2009 and 2013 total dwelling construction activity decreased by a cumulative $800 million. This reduced total construction growth by an average 5.3 percentage points annually. Over this period the population increase was almost 20,000. Hence for 2014 dwelling construction returned to growth with a $140 million increase in expenditure. The next two years will also have positive growth and contribute an average 5.4 percentage points to total construction growth.

The average annual contribution of non-residential construction to total construction over the 2009 to 2013 fiscal years was -0.7 percentage points. For 2014 non-residential construction contributed 39.5 percentage points to total construction growth, or $898 million more than the previous year. The next two years will decline by a cumulative $250 million reducing total construction growth for the Sunshine Coast by an average of 3.6 percentage points per year.

The profile for engineering construction in the Sunshine coast is that for the 2009 to 2013 period engineering construction grew by an average of $46 million per year, contributing an average 2.1 percentage points to total construction per year over that period. For 2014 engineering construction contributed 6.3 percentage points to total construction. However the next two years will see a return to declining engineering expenditures with a cumulative $156 million decline for 2015 and 2016.

For 2015 total construction for the Sunshine Coast will decline by 4.1 percent and for 2016 the growth in dwellings and the non-residential sector result in growth for total construction of 3.2 percent.

7.4 Regional construction activity profile – West Moreton

Population growth in West Moreton has historically been small in comparison to the rest of the state, with an average annual growth of just under 2000 per annum for the period 2009 to 2013, this growth is accelerating and will average over 2700 per annum for the 2014 to 2016 period. Consequently dwelling expenditures grew by a cumulative $10 million over the 2009 to 2013 period and will grow by a cumulative $54 million over the 2014 to 2016 period.



29 29

In non-residential construction the growth in 2014 was $11 million this was the first year of positive growth since the stimulus year of 2009. The cumulative growth over the next two years is just $8 million. This contributes an average of 1.3 percentage points to total construction for the region over 2015 and 2016. Engineering construction grew by $26 million in 2014, contributing 4.4 percentage points to total construction growth. The average contribution of engineering to construction growth over the next two years is -1.8 percentage points.

In spite of the large contribution of the stimulus package in 2009, total construction in West Moreton declined by a cumulative total of $2 million over the 2009 to 2013 period. For 2014 the declines in dwelling expenditure were partially offset by gains in non-residential and engineering construction resulting in an overall $10 million decline. The next two years will average growth of around 8% per annum as the residential sector picks up in 2015 and all sectors return to positive growth in 2016.

7.5 Regional construction activity profile – Darling Downs

The Darling Downs, in comparison with the other regions, has a unique profile, both in terms of the immediate past and the immediate future. The dwelling and private non-residential building cycle has been, and will be to 2014, more stable than the larger neighbouring regions. All sectors experience positive growth over the 2009 to 2013 period. The average annual percentage point contribution of total dwelling construction expenditures on total Darling Downs construction activity over the period 2014 to 2016 is estimated at 0.7 percentage points.

Non-residential construction will have an average annual percentage point contribution of 0.6 to total construction over 2014 to 2016.

The construction of LNG infrastructure has impacted heavily with an average contribution to total construction growth of 20.7 percentage points for 2011 to 2014. The contribution to total construction decline for the final two years is an average of -0.6 percentage points

Total construction in Darling Downs is projected to grow by an average just under 1% over 2015 and 2016.

7.6 Regional construction activity profile – Northern region

Unlike Darling Downs, the impact of the dwelling cycle has been severe. The six years to 2014 have all had negative growth. The cumulative decline has been $314 million. The cumulative fall in total dwelling construction over 2009 to 2014 period has resulted in an average of -2.2 percentage points of total Northern region construction decline. However a return to growth in dwelling expenditure occurs in the two projection years with a cumulative growth of $200 million.

The completion of engineering projects leads to a negative 0.4 percentage point contribution to total Northern region construction activity in 2014 from engineering construction. Engineering construction should provide a positive contribution to total construction on average over the 2015 and 2016 projection years.

In the 2014 fiscal year non-residential construction contributed -18.5 percentage points to total construction in the Northern region. For 2015 a figure of -2.1 percentage points is projected as declines in non-residential construction activity will take almost $500 million from total construction levels over those two years.

Total construction in the Northern region declined by 19.6% in the 2014 fiscal year, for 2015 the growth is 1.1% and for 2016 as the engineering sector improves, there will be an increase of 47.7% in total construction expenditure.

7.7 Regional construction activity profile – the Far North region

The far North region in terms of its economic base has been significantly adversely affected by the impact of the GFC in the so-called Dutch disease where the high exchange rate has adversely impacted on its non-mining trade exposed industries. As a result from 2009 to 2013 the average annual decline in total construction activity in the far North region is estimated at just over 4.3% per annum, an average of over $99 million per year. A return to growth occurred in 2014 and should continue into 2015 with average growth for total construction over these two years of 10%. However 2016 should decline by 3.5%.

Dwelling construction declined by $70 million in 2014 reducing total construction by 4.1 percentage points. Over the next two years dwelling construction will grow by a cumulative $265 million, contributing an average 6.8 percentage points to total construction growth. Non-residential construction also declined over 2014 reducing total construction by 1.7 percentage points. Non-residential construction will grow by a total of $79 million over 2015 and 2016.

Engineering construction grew by a total of $536 million from 2011 to 2014, contributing an average 7.7 percentage points to total construction growth in the Far North region. The next two years, however will have a total decline of $159 million. In 2016 engineering is entirely responsible for the declines in total construction.

7.8 Regional construction activity profile – Wide Bay Burnett region

Cumulatively, construction activity in Wide Bay Burnett declined by $341 million from 2009 to 2013. Falls in dwelling construction and non-residential construction contributed an average of -5.9 percentage points and -1.0 percentage points per annum to the overall decline. These were partially offset by the growth in engineering construction over this period which reduced the overall decline by an average of 3.4 percentage points.

In 2014 there was a 4.6% decline in total construction expenditure. Non-residential building was the only sector to show growth in 2014 and contributed 7.4 percentage points to the total. This growth was reversed by the declines in dwellings and engineering construction with negative contributions of 1.2 percentage points for dwellings and 10.8 percentage points for non-residential construction.

The average growth in construction activity over 2015 and 2016 will be in the order of 4.1%. The major contribution of 6.7 percentage points to this growth comes from dwelling construction. Non-residential construction dwelling construction will make a small positive contribution to total construction over the next two years. The large declines in engineering will not be able to offset the growth in the other two sectors.
