I need your help
« on: May 22, 2013, 08:25AM »
I'm considering moving to Australia.
I'd like to know if anyone is working for the construction industry in Melbourne.

I'm also wondering if your country allows the import of left hand drive cars. I'd like to bring my altima over too.

Getting it here shouldn't be a problem but to comply it you will probably have to convert it to right hand drive  or you couldalways just use it as a ttrack car

It will be good to be complied, pretty sure you just need a sticker saying you're left hand drive for the public.

You can import the car, but you will not be eligible to register it and drive it on the roads. It would have to be converted to RHD, which basically means it would be cheaper for you to buy a RHD U13 here in melbourne for $3-5k.

Construction is thinning out fairly quick in melbourne, plus it is already fairly saturated with local workers....I wouldn't bet moving here on getting a construction job.

you would need a 457 visa from what i understand (my missus is in HR), which is limited to skilled workers. you would have to prove that yor skillset is not available here locally.

currently the construction industry is slow in australia due to economic uncertainty. i work in the building services engineering field and there is not much going at the moment. my company has made 150 people redundant last week with another round of cuts rumoured for next month.

generally the construction industry is about 12-18 months behind the engineering industry. some people say things will pick up after the election this year (sept) but that is more just noobs that dont understand how the world works.

i'd like to think that in the next 12-18 months that things would pick up engineering wise, which would in turn boost the construction sector, but i'm not confident that it will.
