Data notes

This publication provides the number of dwelling units and value of buildings approved released in Building Approvals, Australia on 30 November 2021.

Small area data cubes and CSV files will be made available in an “Additional Information” release five business days after the main publication. These will be for Statistical Areas Level 2 and Local Government Areas. Release dates are published under the “Forthcoming Issues” section of the publication and in the ABS Release Calendar.

A number of time series spreadsheets contain ‘np’ (not available for publication) annotations. This is due to confidential data being contained in these series.

New base year for chain volume estimates

A new base year, 2019-20, has been introduced into the chain volume estimates which has resulted in revisions to growth rates in subsequent periods. The chain volume estimates have been re-referenced to 2019-20, thereby preserving additivity in the quarters after the reference year. Re-referencing affects the levels of, but not the movements in, chain volume estimates.

Revisions this month

In this release, revisions are provided for the time period from July 2020 to September 2021. Further information about potential sources of revisions can be found in the feature article released with the January 2016 Building Approvals publication - "Revisions to Building Approval Statistics".

Revisions to the total number of dwelling units approved in this issue are:

	Financial year
Dwellings	2020-21	2021-22
New South Wales	42	14
Victoria	-18	-41
Queensland	13	250
South Australia	-321	15
Western Australia	23	81
Tasmania	-	-
Northern Territory	-	-
Australian Capital Territory	-	-
Total	-261	319
