Byron Shire Council
An approval is not a home. Lodgd follows every application in Byron Shire Council through to what gets built.
6,975 applications on record · 94 planning proposals · 38,784 people (2025 ABS estimate) · 12,875 occupied dwellings (2021 Census)
Housing determined since 1 July 2024
772 homes have been determined here
Counted from the applications that state a number of new homes. Where an application does not state one, it is not read as a zero. A home decided twice at the same address is counted once.
NSW’s housing target
Byron Shire Council has no council-level target.
Outside the four target areas. Covered by the single 55,000-home regional NSW allocation, which NSW does not break down by council.
Approved is not built
Across NSW, only 57% of homes determined reach construction within two years.
Lodgd matches every application to the construction certificates that follow it, site by site, across all 128 councils — so the pipeline can be read as what is likely to exist rather than what was lodged.
Try the free demo →Measured over 193,554 homes determined between July 2021 and November 2024 — every decision old enough to have had two full years to start.
Of every hundred homes NSW determines, this many have a construction certificate — building work can legally begin — within two full years.

How we count. These figures count the homes stated on development applications and complying development certificates lodged with Byron Shire Council, checked against the NSW Planning Portal. Where another source counts differently, Lodgd publishes what is in the applications rather than adjusting to match.
