Housing construction approvals continue to decline: ABS By Sarah Simpkins 06 July 2021
The number of dwellings approved for building fell by 7.1 per cent in May, dragged by a drop in house construction across Australia, according to the ABS.
The latest building approvals data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has shown that 20,163 dwellings were approved for building in May, 7.1 per cent less than in April – but 52.7 per cent higher than a year prior.
The ABS attributed May’s fall in housing developments to a 10.3 per cent fall in private sector house approvals, down to a total of 13,571 despite a high in April (which had a total of 15,063).
