Are the any parts of Australia in the middle/ start of a building boom at the moment?

Try Perth... though you may find many that think it's just about run its' course...

Cairns.

Forecast to double in population by 2020.
Houses going up everywhere yet shortage of rentals.
Severe lack of skilled trades is delaying it's growth.

im a sparky in cairns and there are 23 new sub divisions on the nothern beaches alone. the largest being 1200 house lots at smithfield. there are also lots of large sub divisions to the south of cairns especially around the edmonton and gordonvale areas. the guy i work for has gone from 8 blokes a year and a half ago to 20 plus. every week just about every electrical contractor is advertising for staff in the paper. we also do a lot of bush work up the cape and its the same story up there especially around weipa
