A declared cost is not a contract price. Suburbs lodge different kinds of project, so a median is not what one house costs to build.

These registers publish less than everything lodged

History builds up from 2026-09-15This register can only be asked for the current and the previous quarter, so nothing older can be backfilled and the history before the first run is missing. Every run re-reads both quarters, and the record grows forward from there.
Only what is on public notice todayThese councils publish only the applications on public notice today, with no archive, so the count is what is being advertised rather than what was lodged. History builds from the first run forward.

Data from the states public planning registers and licence rolls · refreshed 2026-09-15 · Data and licences

The registers in this state publish no cost of works, so no cost is shown here.

Source: the public planning registers of the state governments, with no applicant names. A declared cost is the applicant own estimate, used to work out the lodgement fee. It leaves out GST and land, and it is not the final contract price.
