Total dwelling approvals in Australia increased 15.2 % to 18,406 in November 2025, according to seasonally adjusted data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The rise was largely driven by a 34.1 % jump in approvals for private dwellings excluding houses, reaching 8,463 units, after a 13.5 % fall in October. Approvals for private sector houses rose 1.3 % to 9,458 units, with New South Wales and Queensland recording the largest gains of 4.3 % and 3.9 % respectively. The total value of building approvals grew 12.8 % to $18.34 billion, led by a 26.3 % increase in residential building value to $11.34 billion. Data also show the highest monthly figure for private dwellings excluding houses since June 2018. Source: ABS.
