Record year for housing approvals

The figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show that 2015 saw a record number of new homes approved for construction, with total housing approvals increasing by more than 13% compared to 2014.   The surge in approvals was not spread equally among housing types, with the apartment sector easily outstripping detached houses in terms of growth.   “During 2015, a total of 232,078 new homes received approval for construction. This is 13.7 per cent higher than 2014’s remarkable result and is head and shoulders above every calendar year on record,” HIA senior economist Shane Garrett said.   “However, the expansion during 2015 was not balanced across the market segments. While multi-unit approvals saw growth of 30.2%, detached house approvals inched up by just 1% during the year,” Garrett said.
