In June 2021, 4,310 new dwellings were
consented, an increase of 3.8 per cent from the previous

The latest report shows that the
residential building sector is performing well to meet
demand for new houses, says Acting Minister for Building and
Construction Michael Wood.
“We’ve broken the
record for annual number of new homes consented yet again

is committed to supporting the sector so that we can deliver
more homes than ever before,” Michael Wood
said.
