New home building consents have reached another historic high
30 August 2019
More than 35-thousand homes have been consented in the year to July -- the most since 1974.
The year to February 1974 still holds the record, of 40-thousand new homes approved.
The population of New Zealand -- 4.9 million -- is also well above the mid-1970s population of about three million.
