The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted Victoria’s economy. The construction sector, supported by an efficient heavy construction materials supply chain, provides the engine for Victoria’s economic recovery. Cement, concrete, stone and sand are the critical materials that enable Victoria’s construction industry, employing 340,000 workers and contributing 45% of Victoria’s taxation revenue base.
