The construction activity is concentrated in Queensland, although other projects are underway across the rest of Australia.
Aura holds ground-breaking ceremony
On 8 July, Aura Holdings held a ground-breaking ceremony for its Somerset Indooroopilly project in Brisbane’s inner-west.
Due to be completed in late 2021, this golf course estate project includes 80 two and three-bedroom apartments or four penthouses set across four low-rise buildings.
The project forms part of a pipeline of $200 million of construction projects being undertaken by Aura Holdings across six projects in Brisbane, Toowoomba, and the Gold and Sunshine Coasts.
