    Hundreds of Qld businesses tipped to hit the wall

    ________________________________________

    SOUTHEAST Queensland’s construction industry is on the brink of implosion, a new report has warned, with more than 400 businesses tipped to hit the wall in the next 12 months.

    The construction hotspot of the Gold Coast is tipped to suffer most, the August 2016 Commercial Risk Outlook Report by insolvency experts SV Partners predicted, with more than 600 businesses on the state’s Glitter Strip facing potential financial ruin in the next year.

    Brisbane City — currently in the midst of an apartment construction boom that is tipped to stall this year, as thousands of new dwellings flood the market and supply outstrips demand — is also tipped to take a big building industry hit.

    The analysts said more than 300 businesses in inner Brisbane alone are at high risk of going under in the next year.

    The report paints a dire picture for the Queensland economy, with the professional services and retail sectors also due to take a big economic hit.

    Brisbane will be hit surely, but Gold Coast economy is largely tourism based. So long as the AUD continues trending down, tourist from around the world should still be streaming in, so their services based companies should be able to survive if not do quite well.

    Not so sure about their developers surviving though, was down there (southport/surfers) couple months back and there were lots of cranes dotting the skyline.

    Pretty sure the propertychatters here have already moved ahead of the pack and sold out of Logan :D

    Brisbane will be able to see it coming I think (northward of beenleigh) but the gold coast will probably get a shock because there has been little discussion around it and everyone is in fairy land at the moment, even though things have slowed a bit
