Coffs Harbour City Council
An approval is not a home. Lodgd follows every application in Coffs Harbour City Council through to what gets built.
Coffs Harbour City Council determines a development application in a median of 23 days — 33 days faster than the NSW median of 56.
Measured across 737 determined development applications, last 12 months · 7,731 applications on record · 74 planning proposals · 82,109 people (2025 ABS estimate) · 29,774 occupied dwellings (2021 Census)
Housing determined since 1 July 2024
1,505 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
Coffs Harbour City 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.

Of every hundred homes NSW determines, this many have a construction certificate — building work can legally begin — within two full years.
