This year Townsville has seen about 2500 new homes built and has a population growth forcast at around 3500 people.
In the next 20 years the Townsville & Thuringowa population is expected to double from the current 140,000 to aroun 280,000 residence.
With a growth that fast I can only expect it to get even more difficult to find tradespeople to work on renovations as they will almost always prefer to work on new homes and developements over renovations…
