As per ABS data, the number of dwelling approved rose 1.3%, in trend terms, during March. The surge in dwellings was driven by private sector dwellings excluding houses that rose 2.8% in trend terms with private sector houses rising 0.2%. The results reflected that there was no evident impact on building approvals from COVID-19. However, ABS is keeping an eye on potential impacts in the months ahead.
