Hon POTO WILLIAMS (Minister for Building and Construction): Meitaki humaria va'a tuatua. I've seen a report from Statistics New Zealand that shows the number of building consents has broken yet another record, with 44,299 new homes having been consented in the year ended June 2021—another all-time high. This is an increase of 18 percent from the June 2020 year, with 4,310 new dwellings consented in June alone. These figures demonstrate just how far we've come in the last year since facing the initial disruptions of COVID-19. We've responded to the sector uncertainty by investing in the sector to keep the momentum going to deliver the warm, dry, safe houses that New Zealanders need.
