Hon POTO WILLIAMS (Minister for Building and Construction): I've seen a report from Statistics New Zealand that shows an all-time high number of new homes consented in the year ended May 2021, at 43,466. This is an increase of 17 percent from the May 2020 year and a 40 percent increase on when this Government came to office. These figures show a strong pipeline for the residential construction industry to deliver the homes New Zealanders need at levels we've never seen before.
