ABS building approval figures out today show the Liberal Government's Plan is working and the economy is growing.
Since the election of a majority Liberal Government, the value of building approvals in the four months to July 2014 increased by 44 per cent compared to the four months to March 2014.
In July, dwelling approvals were 29 per cent higher compared with the same time one year earlier and the value of buildings approved increased by 24 per cent in the same time.
The Liberal Government is backing the building industry, worth more than $2 billion a year and employing around 17,500 Tasmanians, through policies such as cutting red tape, fixing outdated building regulations, reforming the planning system and extending the First Home Builder Boost.
We are growing the economy to create jobs and today's figures show we are already seeing better outcomes.
