SIGNIFICANT REVISIONS THIS ISSUE
As a survey of approved building jobs, outcomes from the Building Activity Survey are subject to the accuracy of Building Approvals information used in preparing the collection. Some errors have been identified in Building Approvals information for a number of regions in Australia over recent years. Adjustments were made to the affected Building Approvals series and revisions were incorporated into the March 2007 issue of Building Approvals, Australia (cat. no. 8731.0), released on 8 May 2007.
As a result of the changes in the Building Approvals series there will be corresponding revisions to other building series. These changes have been incorporated into this issue going back to the December Quarter 2000. The revisions are more significant for some states.
