How these numbers are computed
- Volume and gazettals per year count register records directly, full history from the source register.
- Approval rate is recorded outcomes beginning “Approved” over all recorded outcomes. Cases still in flight have no outcome and are excluded.
- Observed pipeline duration is the median days between our first and last stage observation for cases we watched move into approved/gazetted: an observed duration accruing since 12 June 2026, not lodgement-to-gazettal elapsed time, which the registers' list data cannot support. Medians are suppressed below 5 observed cases rather than reported on thin samples.
- Development applications are counted directly from the development application register over the trailing 12 months, grouped by their current canonical status. The full list is on the applications page.
