Australia’s biggest brickmaker Brickworks is considering laying down operation of some of its brick plants.

This is despite Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s ambition to build an extra 1.2 million homes in the next five years.

The plan to build extra homes prompted Brickworks to say it is on the cusp of a significant building boom.

Fresh from the company's annual meeting today, Brickwork's CEO Lindsay Partridge sat down with Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood to discuss this recent move.

Mr Partridge says the closing of plants is a “strategic decision” to allow them to run at full capacity in the coming years.
