Starts on site are down 2%, applications are down 3.8%, and the permissions rate is up by 14%. 25 tall buildings completed in 2018 (50% of what was predicted). 62% of the tall buildings pipeline are 20–29 storeys, and 3*% are between 30 and 60+ storeys

541 tall buildings, made up of:
  • 54, pre-planning
