The Australian Bureau of Statistics data on building approvals is positive for dwellings but is dipping for non-residential, according to the Urban Taskforce.
Urban Taskforce CEO Chris Johnson said, "Home approvals for May are at record levels in NSW underpinned by a strong higher density sector.
"While higher density approvals are going well in NSW with 3,091 approvals the smaller state of Victoria has done better with 3,477 approvals.
