Building approvals also peaking

Approvals peaking

Strong building approvals in August, at 18,716 approved.

Melbourne saw more than 3,000 homes approved in the month, which was a phenomenal result, all things considered.

Approvals for houses are likely to fall from here, however, as the HomeBuilder stimulus is worked off. 


Melbourne also saw a bounce in unit approvals in August, but the trend is clearly lower. 


Overall, a solid result again.

But construction will become a headwind the economy next year, after very successful stimulus packages for new houses and renovations.
