NAME: Steven Simeoni
COMPANY: Tas City Building
POSITION: Director
LOCATION: Launceston, Australia
At least twice a day, Tas City Building Director Steven Simeoni gets up from his desk, slides his earphones in and then takes a walk through nearby Cataract Gorge in Launceston where he might encounter a wallaby or maybe one of the resident peacocks. The daily ritual helps him to clear his head and is just one of the benefits of working in beautiful Tasmania. That along with the fact that the island state is currently undergoing a construction boom.
Government stimuli such as HomeBuilder has driven up the number of residential properties being built across Tassie. Premier Peter Gutwein revealed earlier this year that annual dwelling approvals figures to March were at their highest level in more than 25 years. The April ‘Building and Construction’ report by Master Builders Tasmania confirmed a 61.3 per cent spike in new building approvals, which it attributed to the HomeBuilder stimulus and the “enthusiasm from Tasmanians to build a new home”. There were 458 building approvals over the month, with 375 approvals for detached houses and 30 for units or apartments.
