6.1.2    Development Activity – Lots
Development activity in terms of both new lot registration (which includes attached lots) and
sales of vacant land have shown a marked decline over the last 20 years (Figure 48). The stock
of urban residential lot approvals has likewise undergone a long term decline, from nearly 2,000
lots in 1998, to around 330 lots on average during 2015. There was some temporary resurgence
between 2006 and 2009 (Figure 49).
