South Australia’s growth in private sector house approvals, since the release of the State Government’s Housing Roadmap in June 2024, is leading the nation.

Today, the ABS released Building Approvals data for November 2024, which showed that since the release of the Housing Roadmap, monthly private sector house approvals have increased by over 14 per cent, in seasonally adjusted terms.

This is the strongest growth in the nation and ahead of the national rate, where monthly approvals have fallen by 1.1 per cent over this period.

Since June, SA Water has confirmed the availability of water and sewer services to more than 2800 new allotments across the state through a total of 80 Development Agreement Formal Instruments (DAFIs).

This expansion of the delivery of new homes has been underpinned by the commencement of key Housing Roadmap initiatives, including the first pipes being installed as part of the $1.5 billion investment to expand the water and sewer network.
