There has been another year-on-year surge in housing supply as the State Government continues to drive policies to build more homes for South Australians.

According to the latest ABS building approvals data, approvals for all dwellings in the month of November increased by 15.4% compared to November 2024.

When comparing the year ending November 2024 to the year ending November 2025, there is a 23.7% increase from 12,176 approvals to 15,059 approvals.

There has also been a 1% uptick month-to-month, with 1,281 homes approved in November 2025 compared to 1,268 approved in October 2025.

The ABS data reflects the significant investments and policy measures taken by the State Government to increase housing supply in South Australia.

These include:

  • Building and selling a record number of homes at urban renewal projects like Southwark Grounds, Playford Alive, Noarlunga, Bowden and Prospect Corner
  • Stopping sell-off of Housing Trust, contributing to a net increase in public homes
  • A record $1.5 billion investment in water infrastructure resulting in tens of thousands of meters of pipes laid, underpinning new housing construction
  • Unlocking the opportunity for tens of thousands of new homes through rezoning land.
