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 September quarter 2014 for all building data and Engineering construction data. 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 2012-13 year.

1.2 The world, Australian and Queensland economies

The downside economic risks facing the World economy have not been as great since the start of the Great Financial Crises (GFC) in 2007. There are three “wars” proceeding simultaneously. Firstly there is a currency war where countries are adopting large scale liquidity injections in order to drive down medium to long term bond rates and to encourage capital outflows to drive down their currencies. The second “war” is akin to a real war by other means. This is the economic sanctions imposed on Russia because of the conflict in the Ukraine. One of the weapons in this conflict would be for a low oil price coupled with denial of access of Russia to Western capital markets. The third “war” is an energy resource “war” where the traditional oil producers are driving down the oil price to maintain long run market share by reducing the rate of growth of non-conventional energy such as the North American oil shale based supply.

In 2014 Japan decided to follow the US in returning to large scale quantitative easing (or liquidity injection policies) and in early 2015 the Euro Zone adopted the same policies. The problem is that over the last three years the quantitative easing polices of the United States resulted is a very large outflow of capital to emerging economies which has the potential to spark another World financial crisis when the money flows out of emerging markets when interest rates increase in developed markets in general and the United States in particular. This is because of the high debt levels that now apply in emerging markets that would trigger banking/exchange rate crises in several major emerging economies when the funds flow out.

In terms of the Ukraine given Russia’s high level of foreign reserves the Russian economy could stand another 2 to 4 years of financial sanctions and low oil prices. If of course the major oil producers are being subject to United States pressure to maintain world oil production and hence low world oil prices it is in conflict with the United States own narrow economic interests. This is because the major world oil producers are following their own interests to reduce the rate of investment in alternative oil supplies which will directly affect adversely one of the key drivers of US economic growth since the GFC. In any case it will also require a number of years of low oil prices to change long run expectations and significantly curtail the rate of expansion of alternative oil supplies.

This coupled with the oversupply in world oiI in all markets and the adoption of aggressive environmental policies in China to curtail coal consumption has resulted in the last six months in a

perfect storm in Australian commodity markets with across-the-board actual or shortly to be realised falling commodity prices for Australian major commodity exports.

Although the major projects under construction will proceed, the cash flow squeeze will undoubtedly have an impact in the short term in reducing to some degree investment expenditures. This has been incorporated to some extent in the latest revisions.

There are some positives however. Interest rates are likely to remain lower for longer than previously expected than previously expected allowing the housing recovery to proceed with its current momentum at least into 2016. Also the low oil prices will increase real consumer incomes partially offsetting the deflationary effects in the resource sector

Nevertheless the short-term picture is one of underperforming economies both at the international level were world growth over the next 12 to 18 months is likely to be at best around 3% per annum with Australian growth being near 2.5% which is its current growth rate.

The Queensland economy is also currently growing at a rate near the national average. This is a little less than what was previously expected.

1.5 Queensland construction forecasts

Based on the latest data, total Queensland construction activity increased by 5.0% over 2013-14.

In the September quarter 2014 Queensland construction expenditure declined by 6.3% compared to the June quarter 2014 after declining by 2.4% in the June quarter compared to the March quarter 2014. The projection for the December quarter 2014 indicates total construction expenditure of $14.9 billion an increase of 4.3% compared to the September quarter 2014. Residential construction remained steady, non-residential construction expenditure declined by 5.1% and engineering construction declined by 8.9% in the September quarter 2014 compared to the June quarter 2014. The projection for the December quarter shows residential construction growing at 3.5%, non-residential construction growing at 6.4% and engineering construction increasing by 4.3%.

Non-residential expenditures are projected to decline by $187 million over 2015, for 2016 the decline in non-residential expenditures is 0.9% compared to 2015 representing $63 million. For private residential construction an increase of $1.5 billion in 2015 is followed by a further increase of $1.1 billion in 2016. A $7.5 billion decrease in engineering construction expenditure for 2015 is followed in 2016 by a further decline of $3.0 billion in 2016.

Over the 2015 and 2016 fiscal years Queensland construction activity is projected to decline by $8.1 billion. The average annual growth rate for total construction from 2012 to 2016 is projected at a decline of 1.4%, significantly lower than the average annual growth of 6.0% for the 1993 to 2012.

Compared to the previous report there is a 0.7% downward revision to the level of Queensland construction activity in 2015, which is consistent with the downward adjustment to the 2015 growth rate of 0.3%. For 2016 there is a downward adjustment to the growth rate of 2.5%.

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 $2.0 billion increase in expenditure. This represents 67% 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 $1.5 billion whilst engineering construction reduces total construction by $7.5 billion. For 2015-16 dwelling construction contributes over $1.1 billion to total construction growth whilst the contribution of non-residential construction is a negative contribution of $63 million and engineering construction has a negative contribution of $3.0 billion, resulting in a total decline of $1.9 billion in 2015-16.

Construction prices grew by 0.06% over the September quarter this followed growth of just 0.12% for the June quarter 2014. Prices are projected to on average decline by just 0.1% through the projection period. Construction prices for housing grew by 0.4% for the June and September quarters. Over the projection period prices for residential construction will rise by an average of 0.2%. Non-residential construction prices declined for the September quarter, the average decline in non-residential prices over the projection period is 0.1%. Engineering construction price growth has been negative in each of the last two quarters, on average over the projection period a slight decline of 0.4% is projected.

Queensland population has been growing at an average of 20,000 persons over the last eight quarters. In contrast the next eight quarters are projected to average 23,600 persons. Queensland population is projected to grow by just 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 4.5%. This was the first positive growth after four years of negative growth. The decline for 2013 was 10.4%.

For private dwelling expenditure remained steady over the September quarter 2014. The September quarter level was $3,763 million just above the average for the first three quarters for the 2014 calendar year. For December quarter 2014 growth of 3.8% is projected.

In 2015 private dwelling activity is projected to exhibit growth of 10.4%. This is followed in 2016 with growth of 7.1%. As discussed in previous reports a contributor to this will be the ongoing low interest rates. There is a downward revision in projected dwelling activity in Queensland for 2015 of 0.6%. For 2016 the projection for Queensland dwelling activity has been revised downwards by 1.9%.

In the June quarter 2014 new private dwelling construction decreased by 4.2% compared to the March quarter 2014, for the September quarter new private construction declined by 0.6% whilst other work done decreased by 1.8% for the June quarter and fell by a further 0.3% for the September quarter 2014.

Overall for 2014 other work done showed growth of 2.3% and the outlook for 2015 is further growth for renovation expenditures of 2.0% and for 2016 steady growth of 3.4% is projected. The new construction profile shows growth of 15.2% for 2015 and 8.9% for 2016.

3. Non-residential building

Based on the most recent data for 2014, total Queensland non-residential construction activity increased by 4.9%.

For the June quarter 2014, the level of activity for the total sector was 5.6% above the March quarter 2014, for the September quarter this was almost reversed with a decline of 5.1% two of the last three quarter had negative growth for non-residential construction work done. Private non-residential construction increased by 7.1% over the June quarter 2014 compared to March 2014, limited growth over the September quarter 2104 meant non-residential construction levels remained steady over September 2014.

Falling confidence due to external factors such as falling coal and oil prices as well as the winding down of the construction phase of the LNG projects will affect the levels on non-residential construction over the projection period. Queensland’s non-residential building activity is projected to decline by 2.6% over 2015 with a further decline of 0.9% projected for the following fiscal year. This is fairly conservative, and it may be that the timing and depth of the declines are different, depending on how world events unfold. Over the two years to 2016 public sector expenditure will decline by $213 million, private sector non-residential construction expenditure will decrease by $37 million.

There has been a downward revision to non-residential total building activity of 2.3% in 2015. There has been a downward revision of 5.9% in the projected level of activity for the 2016 fiscal year. These revisions are due to the changes mentioned above in coal and oil prices and general instability in confidence levels around the world.

Major projects currently under construction are; the $1.9 billion Sunshine Coast University hospital at Kawana, the $1.4 million construction of Queensland Children’s Hospital and the $1 billion ICON Ipswich. New projects under construction include; the $450 million BTP Northshore Hamilton business park, the $90 million BTP Westlink Green business park and the $85 million Mater Private Hospital at Springfield.

In real terms over the last six months the value of non-residential building projects under construction or committed have risen by 0.6% or $13 million, projects under consideration have declined by 3.8% or $24 million.

Over the three months to September the value of non-residential projects listed as completed was $167 million. There value of new projects under construction was $700 million, giving a net increase of $533 million in projects currently under construction.

The major non-residential projects completed over the September quarter are the University of Queensland’s; the $135 million advanced engineering build and the $32 million global change institute.

4. Engineering construction

Based on 2014 data, total Queensland engineering construction activity increased by 5.1% over the previous fiscal year.

For 2015 it is projected that there will be a decline of 17.6% followed by a further decline of 8.7% in 2016. There is a downward revision in expenditure of 0.6% for 2014-15 compared to the level of activity expected in the previous bulletin and a downward revision of 3.2% for 2016. Declining coal and oil prices have a two-fold effect – reducing confidence and reducing the revenues that available to fund investment.

In the September quarter 2014 the level of private engineering construction expenditure was $8.0 billion. For the 2014 year the growth was 6.8%. In 2014 public sector engineering expenditures declined by 9.1%. The profile over the next two years is one where private engineering expenditure is projected to decrease by 18.7% for 2015 and decline by 11.4% over 2016, and public sector engineering expenditure is projected to decrease by 7.4% over 2015 and increase by 14.5% over 2016.

Major new projects include; the $450 million BTP Northshore Hamilton business park, the $90 million BTP Westlink Green business park and the $85 million Mater Private Hospital at Springfield.

In the September quarter the major projects under construction were; the $24.7 billion 'Australia Pacific LNG, the $19.6 billion Curtis LNG project QCLNG and the $19.0 billion Gladstone LNG (GLNG) project.

The new major construction project commenced over the September quarter was the Shorncliffe Pier Renewal Project with a value of $20 million.

In real terms over the last six months the value of engineering projects under construction or committed have declined by 1.2% or $162 million, projects under consideration have declined by 0.3% or $31 million.

Over the September quarter the value of engineering projects listed as completed was $2.82 billion and the value of new projects under construction or committed was $20 million, giving a net decrease of $2.8 billion.

The major engineering projects that have been completed over the June quarter are; the $1.9 billion Extension of the Kestrel longwall mine and the $879 million Broadmeadow coal extension project.

6. Prices and labour shortages

Recent growth in the labour-intensive dwelling construction sector has resulted in only modest improvements to the labour supply. The declines in total construction activity over the next two years will mean that there will continue to be a construction labour surplus over the projection period. For the September 2014 quarter Queensland had a construction labour surplus of around 10,000 workers. The labour surplus projected for 2015 is around 5,000, whilst the average surplus for 2016 is 13,000.

The continued over-supply of construction labour supply will ensure that construction prices will continue flat and in the case of the engineering sector decline over the projection period.

Based on the latest available Australian Bureau of Statistics figures it is estimated that for the September quarter 2014 there are 8,600 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 March quarter 2012 when 222,000 were employed in the construction industry in Queensland. The latest estimate for the September quarter 2014 is for around 230,000.

The implied unemployment rate for the construction industry for September quarter 2014 is 5.9%.

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 $1.8 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 $1.2 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 $614million over the next two years.

The average contribution of total dwelling construction to Brisbane’s total construction growth rate will be 3.7 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 $127 million, the first positive contribution in three years, adding just 0.8 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 0.6 percentage points.

Engineering construction in Brisbane has been in decline since 2010, with a cumulative total fall of $2.3 billion, reducing total construction growth by an average 2.4 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 $3.4 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 $0.4 billion. This reduced Gold Coast construction growth by an average of 6.9 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 $226 million in dwelling expenditure over 2014 and should induce an increase in dwelling construction expenditure of around $300 million over each of the 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, contributing 7.1 percentage points to total construction growth in 2015 and 7.3 percentage points in 2016.



27 27

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 grew by $185 million in 2014, contributing 5.2 percentage points to total construction growth for the Gold Coast. For 2015 and 2016 the cumulative total decline for non-residential construction will be in the order of $40 million reducing total Gold Coast construction growth by an average 6.8 percentage points.

Engineering construction reduced total construction activity by $368 million over the 2009 to 2013 period. In 2014 engineering construction contributed 0.9 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 -5.5 percentage points for 2015 and -8.2 percentage points 2016.

Total expenditure will increase by 9.5% 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 8.9% 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 $866 million. This reduced total construction growth by an average 5.5 percentage points annually. Over this period the population increase was almost 20,000. Hence for 2014 dwelling construction returned to growth with a $138 million increase in expenditure. The next two years will also have positive growth and contribute an average 5.8 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 37.7 percentage points to total construction growth, or $856 million more than the previous year. The next two years will decline by a cumulative $342 million reducing total construction growth for the Sunshine Coast by an average of 4.0 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 $40 million per year, contributing an average 2.0 percentage points to total construction per year over that period. For 2014 engineering construction contributed 4.2 percentage points to total construction. However the next two years will see a return to declining engineering expenditures with a cumulative $305 million decline for 2015 and 2016.

For 2015 total construction for the Sunshine Coast will decline by 16.7 percent and for 2016 the growth in dwellings and the non-residential sector result in growth for total construction of 10.2%.



28 28

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 closer to 2900 per annum for the 2014 to 2016 period. Consequently dwelling expenditures will grow by a cumulative $29 million over the 2014 to 2016 period.

In non-residential construction the growth in 2014 was $12 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 $9 million. This contributes an average of 1.1 percentage points to total construction for the region over 2015 and 2016. Engineering construction grew by $15 million in 2014, contributing 2.6 percentage points to total construction growth. The average contribution of engineering to construction growth over the next two years is -9.7 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 $25 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 $20 million decline. The next two years will average decline of around 1.3% per annum as the residential sector picks up in 2015 and non-residential building returns 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 average positive growth over the 2009 to 2013 period.

The average annual percentage point contribution of total dwelling construction expenditures to total Darling Downs construction activity over the period 2014 to 2016 is estimated at 0.4 percentage points.

Non-residential construction will have an average annual percentage point contribution of 0.3 to total construction over 2014 to 2016.

The construction of LNG infrastructure has impacted heavily with an average contribution to total construction growth of 21.2 percentage points for 2011 to 2014. The contribution to total construction decline for the final two years is an average of -7.4 percentage points

Total construction in Darling Downs is projected to grow by an average 7.1% 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 $342 million. The cumulative fall in total dwelling construction over 2009 to 2014 period has resulted in an average of -2.3 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 $151 million.



29 29

The completion of engineering projects lead 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 and 2016 an average of 0.1 percentage point contribution to the total growth rate is projected as declines in 2015 are largely reversed in 2016 resulting in average non-residential construction activity contribution of $2 million to construction levels over those two years.

Total construction in the Northern region declined by 19.5% in the 2014 fiscal year, for 2015 the decline is 4.9% and for 2016 as the engineering sector improves, there will be an increase of 43.0% 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 5.7% per annum, an average of over $124 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 7.6%. However 2016 should decline by 9.4%.

Dwelling construction declined by $71 million in 2014 reducing total construction by 4.4 percentage points. Over the next two years dwelling construction will grow by a cumulative $217 million, contributing an average 6.0 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 $54 million over 2015 and 2016.

Engineering construction grew by a total of $445 million from 2011 to 2014, contributing an average 6.6 percentage points to total construction growth in the Far North region. The next two years, however will have an average annual decline of $155 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 $475 million from 2009 to 2013. Falls in dwelling construction and non-residential construction contributed an average of -6.6 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 2.5 percentage points.

In 2014 there was a 4.1% decline in total construction expenditure. Non-residential building was the only sector to show growth in 2014 and contributed 8.2 percentage points to the total. This growth was reversed by the declines in dwellings and engineering construction with negative contributions of 1.4 percentage points for dwellings and 10.9 percentage points for non-residential construction.



30 30

The average decline in construction activity over 2015 and 2016 will be in the order of 1.4%. Dwelling construction is the only sector with positive growth over 2015 and 2016 contributing on average 5.8 percentage points to total construction growth. Non-residential construction dwelling construction will make a small negative contribution to total construction over the next two years. The large declines in engineering will not be able to offset the growth in the residential sector.
