The federal government is facing fresh calls to better support the construction industry after the collapse of another high-profile operation which owed creditors tens of millions of dollars.
Quasar Constructions has entered administration, impacting 10 projects across Sydney and the Illawarra including work on the new Western Sydney International Airport.
The company reportedly owes creditors around $60 million and has around $6 million in assets.
Three projects have been abandoned, three are under review for rectification works, and four projects are tied up in legal disputes.
The collapse has affected work on several buildings at the Western Sydney International airport, including the maintenance centre, airport operations control centre, waste facility building and the main access gatehouse.
