Building approvals shows how many new dwellings have been given the go-ahead to be built. The data is shown by fiscal year and split by type: detached and medium or high density.
The figures come from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The ABS gets this data from local councils.
Not every approved dwelling gets built, and there is a delay between approval and completion. Place Forecast uses completion times and completion rates to turn approvals into projected building completions.
