What is measured
The ABS building approvals publication reports the number and value of dwelling units approved in Australia—where a dwelling unit is a self contained suite of rooms for residential use. The data are compiled from permits issued by various jurisdictions and show approvals for houses and other dwellings (units, flats and apartments), by sector of activity (public or private).
This bulletin covers seasonally adjusted total dwelling approvals for Australia, but approvals are published to the state/ territory level.
This series is subject to large and irregular fluctuations and care should be taken when interpreting movements in the series.
