International students spark Adelaide building boom

In the past 5 years the number of international students studying in Adelaide has doubled to 23,000.

The influx has led Adelaide City Council to give the green light to eight new student housing developments.

About 1000 new apartments have been built in the last couple of years. Adelaide's mayor says that about 2,500 more will be built over the next few years.

With international student flows into Australia continuing to rise steadily it is likely that Adelaide's builders will be busy for some time to come.
