ABS - Building Approvals (SA3) 2011-2012

This dataset presents details of buildings works approved in Australia for the 2011-2012 financial year. The data has been aggregated and presented by Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) 2011 boundaries.\n\nStatistics 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.\n\nThe 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. 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.\n\nFor more information please visit the [Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Explanatory Notes](https://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Lookup/8731.0Explanatory%20Notes1June%202013?OpenDocument).\n\n \n\n * AURIN has spatially enabled the original data from the ABS.\n\n * The data has been sourced from the June 2013 release.\n
