Kiama Municipal Council
An approval is not a home. Lodgd follows every application in Kiama Municipal Council through to what gets built.
2,828 applications on record · 43 planning proposals · 23,139 people (2025 ABS estimate) · 8,612 occupied dwellings (2021 Census)
Housing determined since 1 July 2024
503 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
NSW asks Kiama Municipal Council for 900 homes by June 2029.
That target counts homes finished; the homes determined here are counted from applications. A home can be approved and never built, and NSW measures the target against ABS completions data that Lodgd does not hold. The two are not a percentage of one another.
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 Kiama Municipal Council, checked against the NSW Planning Portal. Where another source counts differently, Lodgd publishes what is in the applications rather than adjusting to match.
