Director of Planning and Infrastructure Economics at KPMG Australia, Terry Rawnsley, says a few different factors are responsible for the increase.

“Kind of the interesting part of this is of that 111,000, 26,000 went into … non-private dwellings, non-private dwellings are student accommodation, worker-housing,” he told 3AW Breakfast.
