Australia’s building approvals reached a new high in November 2025. Total dwelling units approved jumped 15.2% year‑over‑year to 18,406 units. Private‑sector dwellings excluding houses rose 34.1% to 8,463, while private‑sector houses grew 1.3% to 9,458 units. The value of all residential building work approved increased 26.3% to $11.34 billion, driven by a 30.4% rise in new residential value to $10.14 billion and a negligible change in alterations and additions. In contrast, non‑residential building approvals fell 3.9% to $7.04 billion. State‑level data showed growth in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, with declines in Western Australia and Tasmania.
