Strathfield Municipal Council
An approval is not a home. Lodgd follows every application in Strathfield Municipal Council through to what gets built.
Strathfield Municipal Council determines a development application in a median of 74 days — 18 days slower than the NSW median of 56.
Measured across 106 determined development applications, last 12 months · 2,721 applications on record · 29 planning proposals · 49,203 people (2025 ABS estimate) · 15,746 occupied dwellings (2021 Census)
Housing determined since 1 July 2024
606 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 Strathfield Municipal Council for 3,500 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.

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

Where another source counts differently, Lodgd publishes what is in the applications rather than adjusting to match.
