Upper Lachlan Shire Council

An approval is not a home. Lodgd follows every application in Upper Lachlan Shire Council through to what gets built.

Upper Lachlan Shire Council determines a development application in a median of 60 days — 4 days slower than the NSW median of 56.

Measured across 88 determined development applications, last 12 months · 939 applications on record · 15 planning proposals · 9,005 people (2025 ABS estimate) · 3,249 occupied dwellings (2021 Census)

Housing determined since 1 July 2024

145 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

Upper Lachlan 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.

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.
