The Australian construction industry is showing signs of recovery, and Stones Corner is witnessing this firsthand with two major residential projects—Stonebrook and Lumina—progressing despite past industry setbacks. Both developments are set to redefine urban living in the area, reflecting a renewed sense of confidence in the sector.
The Australian construction sector has endured a challenging period, plagued by rising costs, material shortages, and delays—issues that worsened after the COVID-19 pandemic. However, BCI Central’s Construction Outlook Report – Australia suggests that the industry is stabilising, paving the way for a more optimistic 2025.
Two notable developments in Stones Corner, Stonebrook and Lumina, reflect this renewed activity, bringing new residential options and lifestyle amenities to the growing suburb.
