    Considerable care is required with interpreting the apartment consent statistics. If a consent is lodged for less than 10 units in a retirement village then they are not ‘apartments’. If there are 10 or more units on the consent then they are ‘apartments’. Over the last two years a retirement village lodged consents for a total of 61 units. Two consents were lodged for 12 units each so were classified as apartments, the remainder were lodged with smaller numbers of units so were not considered to be apartments.
