The Reserve Bank has warned construction activity could begin to decline as the number of residential building approvals falls from its peak in 2016.
The message, released in the minutes of the central bank’s August meeting on Tuesday, comes a week after BIS Oxford Economics forecast a 31 per cent fall in the level of dwellings being built, from a peak of 230,000, to 160,000 within the next three years.
