Construction will be key to helping Victoria recover from the economic shock of the coronavirus pandemic, premier Daniel Andrews says.

The Premier said on Monday big construction jobs across the state would become more important than ever.

These construction jobs have always been important to me, and now they are more important than ever for every single Victorian,” he said.

We have the biggest construction program in the state’s history, and it will need to get bigger once this crisis is over as we push out of what is a really significant shock to our economy.
