Construction

The major concentrations of construction businesses are in Tomago, Raymond Terrace, Nelson Bay, Salamander Bay and Anna Bay.

There are several large commercial builders in Port Stephens and many small tradesperson businesses servicing local and regional markets.

The major drivers of the sector are the rate of population growth, the level of new housing construction and the level of commercial construction.  The outlook for Port Stephens is for continued population growth and significant ongoing housing construction.  This will generate a high demand for construction services.
