Notes on the data
Figures come from the NSW Planning Portal and are refreshed nightly. Value is the applicant-declared cost of works at lodgement, not a construction contract sum. Determination times count calendar days from lodgement to determination, including time spent awaiting further information from the applicant, which explains much of the spread between councils.
