Building approvals

About this topic

Building approvals are a leading indicator of residential development activity in Moreland (C). Monthly dwelling approvals respond faster than Census measures to market conditions, interest rates, and planning cycles.

This view uses monthly ABS Building Approvals data through June 2023. The rolling 12-month total smooths volatility to show the underlying trend rather than one-off monthly swings.
