Application Summary by Office of Local Government (OLG) Categories (Volume, Cost & Assessment Times) (for most recently completed month) (1,2,3)

The tables below include near real-time data about the use of the NSW Planning Portal for individual councils, grouped by NSW Office of Local Government reporting categories. This allows for statistics to be compared between similar councils.

The average determination day figure is calculated by dividing the total number of days taken to determine all applications by the total number of determined applications. Determination days are measured as gross days - the total number of days lapsed between the lodgement and the determination of the application. Determination days includes the time taken for applicants to respond to requests for information from consent authorities.

Instructions:
  • Please use the filter to the right to select the relevant application type.
  • Click on the tabs on the left to select relevant data.
  • Click on the down arrow to view relevant councils in each OLG category.

(1) Local Development Performance Monitoring (LDPM). The LDPM does not collect data on application lodgements, only determinations. Please note that the data included for the LDPM Financial Year 2020/21 reflects data submitted to Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) as of 28 February 2023.

(2) Estimated cost of development is for approved applications, based on data provided by applicants. The dollar value is measured in millions ($m) rounded to one decimal place.

(3) The average determination day figure is calculated by dividing the total number of days taken to determine all applications by the total number of determined applications. Determination days are measured as gross days – the total number of days lapsed between the lodgement and the determination of the application. Determination days includes the time taken for applicants to respond to requests for information from consent authorities.

(4) Average assessment times are measured in days, which are rounded to whole numbers, but the percentage change between the current month and previous month is rounded to one decimal point. This is calculated from the raw assessment times (unrounded) for those months. As such, there may be a perceived discrepancy when the “total” average assessment time for current and previous month are equal but the percentage change is slightly above or below "0".

NB: "-" cells signify that no applications were determined in that period.
