Recent seasonally adjusted and trend estimates are likely to be revised when original

estimates for subsequent months become available. The approximate effect of possible

scenarios on trend estimates are presented below. Generally, the greater the volatility of

the original series, the larger the size of the revisions to trend estimates. Analysis of the

building approval original series has shown that they can be revised substantially. As a

result, some months can elapse before turning points in the trend series are reliably

identified.

The graphs and tables which follow present the effect of two possible scenarios on the

previous trend estimates: that the August seasonally adjusted estimate is higher than the

July estimate by 2.6% for the number of private sector houses approved and 14.6% for

private sector dwellings excluding houses approved; and that the August seasonally

adjusted estimate is lower than the July estimate by 2.6% for the number of private

sector houses approved and 14.6% for private sector dwellings excluding houses

approved. These percentages represent the average absolute monthly percentage

change for these series over the last ten years.

8 Statistics on the value of building work approved are derived by aggregating the

estimated ‘value of building work when completed’ as reported on building approval

documents provided to local councils or other building approval authorities.

Conceptually these value data should exclude the value of land and landscaping but

include site preparation costs associated with building activity. These estimates are

usually a reliable indicator of the completed value of ‘houses’. However, for other

buildings they can differ significantly from the completed value of the building as final

costs and contracts have often not been established before council approval is sought

and gained.

VA L U E DA T A

7 The information provided to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and included in

estimates for any month may be revised or corrected in later months. This can occur as a

result of corrections made by a provider of data, the late provision of approval records

and, occasionally, by approvals being identified after construction work has commenced.

Where revisions or corrections are made to the original data for prior months, the

aggregate impact on dwelling approval estimates are provided on page 2 under

'REVISIONS THIS MONTH'.

6 Estimates in this publication are rounded and this may result in discrepancies

between the sums of component items and their totals. Rounding may also cause

differences between the movements (e.g. percentage changes) shown in this publication

and the movements calculated by users from unrounded data. Where a discrepancy

occurs, the published movement will be more accurate.

2 Statistics of building work approved are compiled from:

! permits issued by local government authorities and other principal certifying

authorities;

! contracts let or day labour work authorised by commonwealth, state,

semi-government and local government authorities; and

! major building approvals in areas not subject to normal administrative approval

e.g. building on remote mine sites.

3 The scope of the collection comprises the following:

! construction of new buildings;

! alterations and additions to existing buildings;

! approved non-structural renovation and refurbishment work; and

! approved installation of integral building fixtures.

4 Construction activity not defined as building (e.g. roads, bridges, railways,

earthworks, etc.) are excluded. Statistics for this activity can be found in Engineering

Construction Activity, Australia (cat. no. 8762.0).

5 The coverage of these statistics has changed over time:

! From July 1990, the statistics include all approved residential building valued at

$10,000 or more and all approved non-residential building valued at $50,000 or

more.

! From July 1988 to June 1990, the statistics include all approved residential building

valued at $10,000 or more and all approved non-residential building valued at

$30,000 or more.

! From July 1975 to June 1988, the statistics include all approved residential and

non-residential building valued at $10,000 or more.

! Up to June 1975, the statistics include all approved new building, and alterations and

additions involving a structural change or floor area expansion.

16 Seasonal adjustment is a means of removing the estimated effects of seasonal and

calendar related variation from a series so that the effects of other influences can be

more clearly recognised. It does not remove the effect of irregular or other influences

(e.g. the approval of large projects or a change in the administrative arrangements of

approving authorities).

TR E N D ES T I M A T E S

13 Building approvals are classified by Type of Building (e.g. 'residential',

'non-residential') and by Type of Work.

14 Type of Building is the building's intended predominant function according to the

ABS Functional Classification of Buildings 1999 (Revision 2011) (cat. no. 1268.0.55.001).

! Except where specified in the Functional Classification of Buildings, a building which

is ancillary to other buildings, or forms a part of a group of related buildings, is

classified to the function of the building and not to the function of the group as a

whole. For example, in the case of a factory complex, a detached administration

building would be classified to Offices, a detached cafeteria building to

Retail/wholesale trade, while factory buildings would be classified to Factories. An

exception to this rule is the treatment of group accommodation buildings where, for

example, a student accommodation building on a university campus would be

classified to Educational.

! For a significant multi-function building which at the time of approval is intended to

have more than one purpose (e.g. a hotel/shops/casino project), the ABS

endeavours to split the approval details according to each main function. Where this

is not possible because separate details cannot be obtained, the building is classified

to the predominant function of the building.

15 Type of Work consists of 'new', 'alterations and additions', and 'conversions'.

Conversions are considered to be a special type of alteration, and these jobs have been

separately identified as such from the July 1996 reference month, though they have only

appeared separately in this publication from the January 1998 issue. Prior to that issue,

conversions were published as part of the 'Conversions, etc.' category or included

elsewhere within a table.

BU I L D I N G CL A S S I F I C A T I O N S

12 Building ownership is classified as either public or private sector and is based on

the sector of the intended owner of the completed building at the time of approval.

Residential buildings constructed by private sector builders under government housing

authority schemes are classified as public sector when the authority has contracted, or

intends to contract, to purchase the building on or before completion.

OW N E R S H I P

11 In these statistics a 'building job' is a construction project comprising work to one

or more buildings. Building jobs data are based on the building approval records within

the scope of the collection received each month.

BU I L D I N G JO B DA T A

9 The ABS generally accepts values provided by approving bodies. Every effort is made

to ensure data are provided on a consistent basis, however, there may be instances

where value reported does not reflect the building completion value. For example, the

reported value for most project homes is the contract price, which may include the cost

of site preparation and landscaping. In other cases where a builder is contracted to

construct a dwelling based on the owner’s plans, the value may only be the builder’s

costs. Some data providers do not use the value on approval documents, instead

deriving a value based on floor area and type of structure.

10 From July 2000, value data includes the Goods and Services Tax (GST) for

residential and non-residential building approvals.

26 Building approvals are classified to the Australian Statistical Geography Standard

(ASGS), 2016 Edition (cat. no. 1270.0.55.001), effective from July 2011. Data from July

2001 to June 2011 is classified according to the 2011 edition of the ASGS.

27 From 1 July 2002, approvals in the Territories of Jervis Bay, Christmas Island and

Cocos (Keeling) Islands are included in these statistics. Jervis Bay is included in New

South Wales, while Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands are included in Western

Australia. This differs to their treatment in the ASGS, where these Territories are

included in 'Other Territories'.

23 Chain volume estimates reflect changes in the volume of building work approved

after the direct effects of price changes have been eliminated. The chain volume

measures appearing in this publication are annually reweighted chain Laspeyres indexes

referenced to current price values in a chosen reference year.

24 Chain volume measures are released quarterly in the April, July, October and

January issues. The reference year is updated annually in the October issue.

25 Chain volume measures do not, in general, sum exactly to the extrapolated total

value of the components. Further information on the nature and concepts of chain

volume measures is contained in the ABS Information Paper Australian National

Accounts, Introduction of Chain Volume Measures and Price Indexes, September 1997

(cat. no. 5248.0).

17 State/territory series are seasonally adjusted independently of the Australian series.

In general, the sum of the state/territory estimates are reconciled to equal the Australian

total estimates.

18 Seasonally adjusted estimates are produced by a seasonal adjustment method

which takes account of the latest available original estimates. A detailed review of

seasonal factors is conducted annually, generally prior to the release of data for May. The

timing of this review may vary and when appropriate will be notified in the 'Data Notes'

section of this publication.

19 The ABS produces trend estimates to best represent the underlying behaviour in a

series. Trend estimates are created by smoothing seasonally adjusted series to reduce

the impact of the irregular component of the seasonally adjusted series. Abnormally high

or low values (outliers) are discounted or excluded from the trend estimates.

20 Seasonally adjusted and trend estimates may be revised as new periods of data

become available. Generally, revisions become smaller over time. Revisions to original

data may also lead to revisions to seasonally adjusted and trend estimates.

21 Care should be exercised when using the seasonally adjusted value of

non-residential building jobs at the state level, due to the difficulties in estimating the

seasonal pattern for these data series.

22 Further information on seasonally adjusted and trend estimates can be found in the

ABS Information papers An Introductory Course on Time Series Analysis - Electronic

Delivery, January 2005 (cat. no. 1346.0.55.001) and A Guide to Interpreting Time Series -
