Council league table
We have released an interactive council league table to track the time it takes councils to lodge and determine development applications.
Diverse and well-located homes
By delivering more variety in low- and mid-rise housing, we can strike a balance between preserving the character and value of our neighbourhoods while catering to changing community needs.
Statement of Expectations Order
We have updated the minister’s Environmental Planning and Assessment (Statement of Expectations) Order 2021, also known as the Statement of Expectations Order 2021.
