DATA NOTES A number of time series spreadsheets, as well as tables 13, 14 and 16 from this publication, contain 'np' (not available for publication) annotations. This is due to confidential data being contained in these series. Since July 2011 new or reviewed ABS geographic and building type classifications were introduced into Building Approvals statistics. As of this release, historical Building Approval estimates from July 2001 onwards have been revised to reflect these changes. The current version of these classifications used in this process are: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS), 2011 Edition (cat. no. 1270.0.55.001) ABS Functional Classification of Buildings 1999 (Revision 2011) (cat. no. 1268.0.55.001). In addition to updating classifications from July 2001 onward, the ABS also undertook a major audit of data provision in Building Approvals during 2012. This audit identified a number of reporting issues and systematic reporting anomalies in some constituencies. As a consequence, revision and correction of data from historical periods also going back to July 2001 has been undertaken in this release. The aggregate impacts of these revisions are discussed below in REVISIONS THIS MONTH. All data from July 2001 onwards has now been coded to Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) geography based on the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). Revised data from July 2001 are included in this release for all building approvals series at the Australia, State/Territory, Greater Capital City Statistical Area, and Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2). Historical SA2 data can be downloaded as SuperTable data cubes except for Western Australia and the Northern Territory. The ABS intends to release revised estimates at the Local Government Area (LGA) level and SA2 Excel data cubes later this year. SA2 and LGA level SuperTable data cubes are currently unavailable for Western Australia and the Northern Territory, these will be released as "Additional Information" to the ABS website as soon as available. REVISIONS THIS MONTH See DATA NOTES above for major sources of revisions. The inclusion of previously missing data, deletions where duplication had occurred, and late reportage of approvals from recent months resulted in a net upward revision over the period from July 2001 to December 2012, of:
$5.0b to the estimate of the value of total residential building approved; and $4.5b to the estimate of the value of total non-residential building approved.
