Stay across the latest construction industry developments

CCIWA’s latest Construction Industry Quarterly Report provides a timely snapshot of what’s happening across Western Australia’s construction sector, bringing together legislative updates, industrial insights and market intelligence in one place.

Produced each quarter by CCIWA’s Construction and Mining IR Services team, with expert insight from Business Law WA, Epigroup and CCIWA’s Economics team, the report helps businesses stay informed, plan ahead and respond to change in a fast‑moving industry.

The latest Autumn 2026 edition includes a detailed legislation and industry update covering key developments such as:

  • Wins on genuine agreement principles
  • The CFMEU Northwest Crane Hire Agreement
  • Enterprise agreement bargaining trends
  • Accommodation and workforce wellbeing feedback
  • Artificial intelligence and Fair Work Commission claims
  • FWO and ATO compliance activity on sham contracting
  • Union working-in-heat campaigns
  • Updates on the draft accommodation code

Alongside these insights, the report continues to deliver trusted updates on project wage rates, union movements, staffing changes, rosters and labour forecasts, plus a dedicated safety focus and economic outlook.

CCIWA Construction Services Manager Kate Schick said the sector was experiencing significant challenges.

“The WA construction sector continues to operate in a tight and increasingly complex environment, with strong project activity sitting alongside heightened industrial, regulatory, union and workforce pressures,” she said.

“Access to timely intelligence and a forward view of project and labour demand is critical for businesses planning their workforce and commercial strategies.”

A standout feature for many subscribers is the 15‑month forward project calendar, which outlines confirmed onshore WA projects by region. The calendar includes:

  • Project and proponent details
  • Estimated capital expenditure
  • Peak workforce numbers
  • Indicative project timelines
  • Labour requirements by project stage

Together, the report and calendar provide a practical tool for understanding upcoming work, workforce demand and commercial conditions across the State.

A subscription includes four quarterly reports and calendars over a 12‑month period, helping your business stay across industry trends, legal updates and market rates throughout the year.
