Development applications

Every development application lodged on the NSW Planning Portal since 2019 — 423,148 of them across 130 councils. Unlike the sale register this is forward-looking: it is what people are asking to build, before it exists.

No applicant name is published. The NSW Planning Portal's open API carries the address, the cost of works and the dwelling count, but no applicant, owner, architect or company field of any kind — checked against every field in the feed. So this shows what is proposed and where, never by whom.
