DATA NOTE
This release includes revisions to Engineering Construction data back to September 2015.
Several time series spreadsheets for recent quarters contain 'np' (not available for publication) annotations. This is due to confidential data being contained in these series.
Trend estimates should be used with caution due to the volatility caused by large engineering projects. For more details on trend estimates, please see paragraphs 22 to 24 of the explanatory notes. The
ABS Privacy Policy outlines how the ABS will handle any personal information that you provide to us.
