Residential building consents improving
The 12-month running total for residential building consents stood at 23,975 in August 2014. Year-on-year, residential building consents were up 23 percent with consents for residential housing in Canterbury, Auckland, Otago and the Waikato leading the way. Annualised totals, as shown in the figure below, indicate that consents could potentially go back to the 26,000 mark seen in August 2007, and are well ahead of the 13,500 consents witnessed in the 12 months to August 2011.

Two years ago the outflow to Australia was 56,000. This outflow has dropped and is quite flat at about 30,000 a year.
