澳大利亚统计局数据显示，2025-26财年共批准约205000套住宅建设，较上年增长8%，创五年来新高[1]。其中，澳大利亚首都领地上升41.9%，昆士兰增长23.3%，新南威尔士州增长6.1%[1]。然而，这一数字仍距政府设定的1.2百万套目标差86000套[1]。
尽管批准数量有所增加，但投资市场动力减弱。联邦银行数据显示6月季度抵押贷款申请环比下跌15%[1]，Westpac报告投资者贷款申请下降20%[1]。房产拍卖成交率也面临压力，上周接近50%，虽比前周上升4.4个百分点，但仍远低于去年同期的68.5%[1]。
澳洲建筑师协会首席执行官德尼塔·沃恩指出，"我们处于住房供应危机中，需要更多基础设施、学校和医院"[1]。在联邦政府房产税改革和利率上升的双重压力下，住宅建筑面临的挑战愈加凸显。
Australia's housing approvals reached approximately 205,000 dwellings in the 2025-26 financial year, marking an 8 percent increase from the previous year and the strongest performance in five years.[1] The surge was geographically uneven, with the Australian Capital Territory climbing 41.9 percent, Queensland rising 23.3 percent, and New South Wales growing 6.1 percent.[1]
However, the recovery arrives amid substantial challenges to housing supply. Approvals fall short of the government's target of 1.2 million homes by the end of the decade, with a shortfall of 86,000 units.[1] Denita Vaughan, chief executive of the Australian Institute of Architects, warned that "we are in a housing supply crisis and need more infrastructure, schools and hospitals."[1] Simultaneously, borrowing momentum has weakened significantly, with Commonwealth Bank data showing mortgage applications fell 15 percent in the June quarter, while Westpac reported investor loan applications declined 20 percent.[1] Property auction clearance rates reflected the strain, reaching nearly 50 percent last week—up 4.4 percentage points from the previous week but substantially lower than the 68.5 percent recorded in the same period last year.[1]
