Dated decisions first, newest at the top; rows whose register gives no decision date follow, showing the month lodged. Each row carries the register's own wording and how we read it. Where the register only says a decision was made, it does not say which way, and neither do we.

Imagery: NSW Department of Customer Service (Spatial Services), CC BY 4.0Source: the government planning register for this state, with no applicant names. The window runs 2025-09-20 to 2026-09-20. The 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. The median approval time is worked out across the whole of Council of the City of Sydney, not this one suburb.
