Heavyweight unions and peak building groups, more often at war than not, are uniting behind a bid to keep construction under way and building sites open during Victoria’s harsh stage four lockdown.

Ahead of Victoria's government outlining today which businesses will be impacted under ramped-up restrictions, the Urban Development Institute of Australia is pitching a nine-point plan to keep the state’s construction industry safe and open...

In a show of just how united Victoria’s fractious building industry has become in the face of the pandemic, the UDIA has co-signed another memo to Premier Daniel Andrews with the militant CFMEU, three other major unions, the Property Council of Australia and several other industry bodies.

The letter details initiatives adopted by key players to keep the building sector open through the pandemic. It was signed by Master Builders Victoria, CFMEU, National Electrical & Communications Association, Electrical Trades Union, Master Plumbers, Plumbing and Pipe Trades Union, Civil Contractors Federation, Australian Metal Workers Union, UDIA and Property Council.
