Graph 20.7 shows that construction activity for<br />

the public sector has remained relatively constant<br />

at around $3b each quarter over the last ten<br />

years. The volatility evident in the total<br />

construction series is mainly due to private<br />

sector construction activity. The growth in total<br />

construction activity from the June quarter<br />

1997 until the March quarter 1998 was driven<br />

by the growth in private sector activity.
