Council league tables

How councils compare on rezoning volume, approval rates and pipeline speed. Every figure computed from the official registers, never estimated. Metrics the data can't support yet are marked “insufficient data”, not guessed.

Every council

Every council we track, in one table. Sort by amendments, development applications, approval rate or decision speed, filter by name, and click through to a council. Approval rate covers councils with at least 20 recorded outcomes; median decision is the middle lodgement-to-determination time across a council's decided NSW applications.
