Bay of Plenty residential building consent analysis tables

Interest.co.nz’s Residential Building Consent Tables (below) provide a quarterly analysis of building consent trends by dwelling type and location.

They provide data on the number of new dwellings consented and their total value each quarter, as well as the average value of new dwelling consents, the average size of new dwellings consented and their average value per square metre.

This information is provided for each of the main dwelling types - standalone houses, townhouses and home units, apartments and retirement village units

The figures are available nationally and for each the main centres of residential construction activity – Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Wellington, Canterbury and Otago.

The tables with the Bay of Plenty consent figures are below, the national data is here, and the other regional data tables are available by clicking on the following links: Auckland, Waikato, Wellington, Canterbury and Otago.

The core data for these tables is sourced from Statistics NZ.
