A correction has been made to the Media Release for Building Consents Issued: November 2008. The sentence, "This is the first time the annual total has fallen below 20,000 units since the April 1994 year," now reads, "This is the lowest annual total since the April 1994 year."
A correction has been made to the Commentary in the Residential Buildings section. The bullet point that said:
- New dwellings, including apartments, fell 26 percent to 19,068 units (the first time the annual total has dropped below 20,000 since the April 1994 year).
now says:
- New dwellings, including apartments, fell 26 percent to 19,068 units (the lowest annual total since the April 1994 year).
