๐๏ธ Building Approval Trends: Whatโs Happening Across Australia (and Why It Matters in SA) ๐๏ธ
According to the latest ABS data for July 2025:
Total dwelling approvals across Australia fell 8.2%, down to 15,769 units, after a strong June rebound of 11.9%.
House approvals edged up slightly by 1.1%, reaching 9,288 units, offering some stability.
In contrast, apartments and medium-density approvals plunged by 22.3%, signalling a shift in housing mix.
While national figures show a slowdown, South Australiaโs new home approvals notably declined, marking the only state with a drop in private house approvals.
What Does This Mean for South Australia?
๐ Residential construction is slowing, particularly in higher-density housing.
๐ The slight increase in standalone houses suggests that family homes remain a steady preference.
๐ For heating and building professionals, these trends reinforce the importance of quality, comfort, and long-term value in residential projects.
