68045 (2024). Hon Barbara Edmonds to the Prime Minister: What evidence, if any, does he have to support his claim in response to oral question two on 16 October that "consents are up 2 percent"?

Rt Hon Christopher Luxon: Stats NZ’s trend measure (which account for monthly volatility) of building consents for dwellings, was at 2,784 in November 2023 and is now at 2,842 for August 2024 (the latest data available from Stats NZ). This is an increase of 2.1%.
