Construction industry – addressing workforce issues in Nelson Tasman

Construction is both a significant employer in the Nelson Tasman economy, and a significant contributor to it. In 2019 it was the fourth-largest contributor to our region’s GDP at $401 million (Infometrics – Structure of Nelson-Tasman’s Economy 2021) and provided 8.8% of filled jobs (Infometrics – Filled jobs by ANZSIC level 1 industry, 2021). We also know that many people in our regional construction industry are self-employed.

According to the International Monetary Fund, closing New Zealand’s infrastructure gap could increase real GDP by as much as 0.8 per cent in the long term.
