Flashing Red Light : Industry bodies sound alarm over falling building approvals – the number of dwellings approved fell 6% in August to only 14,744 across the entire country, according to an ABS Media Release, this is all whilst Australia’s population is planned to soar by 225,000 to 260,000 mew immigrants – well that is the ‘official’ spin, we know this excludes people on Study Visas, where at least 80% come to Australia to ‘study’ on the hope of staying in Australia permanently. Where will anyone live?
By the way, only 2,654 new houses were approved in Victoria, who actually require around xxx, 2,065 in QLD, 1,752 in NSW, 1,481 in WA and 768 in SA. Totalling a massive UNDERsupply. These numbers come from the ABS for August 2025.
Thus a further 2,000 000 new migrants will have been added to Australia’s population by the end of Labors second term according to ABS and budget papers. That is massive and is taking its toll on houses, rentals, roads, schools, ambulance services, hospitals and more.
Apartment approvals had the highest drop in approvals, dropping by a massive 34% and eye opening, of the 2704 apartments approved nationally, 527 were in NSW alone.
