Woollahra Municipal Council
An approval is not a home. Lodgd follows every application in Woollahra Municipal Council through to what gets built.
Woollahra Municipal Council determines a development application in a median of 88 days — 32 days slower than the NSW median of 56.
Measured across 402 determined development applications, last 12 months · 8,554 applications on record · 78 planning proposals · 55,218 people (2025 ABS estimate) · 21,907 occupied dwellings (2021 Census)
Housing determined since 1 July 2024
1,431 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 Woollahra Municipal Council for 1,900 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.

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 Woollahra 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.
