Scored as published rather than open because it is a PDF report rather than a dataset, and the usability score reflects that honestly.

What it lacks in format it makes up for in content. The March 2026 report records 331,903 commencements against the 420,000 needed to stay on schedule, and forecasts the target being reached at the end of 2030 -- eighteen months late.

An independent body publishing, quarterly, the extent to which the government is missing its own headline commitment is the strongest counter-example in this register to the claim that governments will not fund reporting that embarrasses them. The underlying commencement series comes from the ABS building activity collection, so the numbers are independently sourced as well as independently reported.

CORRECTION, 2026-09-03. This record previously carried last_checked = 2026-09-01. That was wrong: the document was never opened. The entry was written from the publisher's web pages and from reporting about them.

The project's own rule is to set last_checked only when someone has opened the data, and to leave it empty otherwise. The date has been removed. Everything else in the record stands as reported.

CORRECTION, 2026-09-03. Recorded as pdf; it is an HTML page carrying the data inline as tables, which is marginally better for a reader and still not machine-readable. The record also described a national forecast; the actual reporting is per jurisdiction, with expected Accord completion dates from September 2029 to September 2033.
