Hon POTO WILLIAMS: In the year to October, we saw a 26 percent increase in the number of new homes consented. The report shows that this level of growth will continue, with 265,000 new homes projected to be consented across the country in the next six years. The report also notes that the outlook for residential construction in Auckland is positive, with an estimated 11 percent increase in activity by 2026. The growth we are seeing in the sector illustrates the Government's ongoing commitment to enabling more homes to be built and will support the Auckland economy by providing more jobs and apprenticeships.
