Parkes Shire Council
An approval is not a home. Lodgd follows every application in Parkes Shire Council through to what gets built.
Parkes Shire Council determines a development application in a median of 38 days — 18 days faster than the NSW median of 56.
Measured across 108 determined development applications, last 12 months · 1,050 applications on record · 13 planning proposals · 14,175 people (2025 ABS estimate) · 5,401 occupied dwellings (2021 Census)
Housing determined since 1 July 2024
81 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
Parkes 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.

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 Parkes 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.
