Building approvals in the regions improving (finally)

While building approvals in July are up only very modestly (Australia Trend +2.4% y/y), the increase in Queensland is a far more impressive +10.1% y/y.

That increase in QLD is being led by regional approvals, which are up 16.4% y/y, rather than in Greater Brisbane where the increase is just 7.6% y/y

In our neck of the woods, Cairns sees an increase of 7.3% y/y and Townsville has jumped 12.6% y/y (albeit from a very low base).
