Growth in 2025 will also be supported by investments under the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Budget (July 2025 to June 2026), unveiled in March 2025, under which general government expenditure is expected to rise from AUD762.8 billion ($504 billion) in FY2024-25 to AUD785.7 billion ($519.1 billion) in FY2025-26, before averaging AUD846.3 billion ($559.2 billion) from FY2026-27 to FY2028-29. However, the construction industry is expected to face challenges due to rising construction insolvencies amid increasing construction costs and a shortage of skilled labor.

The government's aims to generate 82% of its electricity from renewable sources and cut carbon emissions by 43% by 2030, compared with 2005 levels, will support the industry's growth over the forecast period.

In mid-September 2025, the federal government set a 2035 emissions reduction target of 62-70% below 2005 levels, advancing its long-term goal of net zero by 2050. The plan focuses on five decarbonization priorities: expanding clean electricity, electrification and efficiency, adopting clean fuels, scaling new technologies, and enhancing carbon removals.
