Two registers, side by side

What is proposed here versus what is approved. These are separate government registers that nobody publishes together: the NSW Planning Portal records what people apply to build, the ABS records what is actually approved. Over the last 12 months the ABS recorded 544 dwellings approved in Ku-ring-gai Council worth $646M. The application pipeline is running at about 1.15× that rate.
