How these numbers are computed
- Volume and gazettals per year count register records directly, full history from the source register.
- Approval rate is recorded outcomes beginning “Approved” over all recorded outcomes. Cases still in flight have no outcome and are excluded.
- Observed pipeline duration is the median days between our first and last stage observation for cases we watched move into approved/gazetted: an observed duration accruing since 12 June 2026, not lodgement-to-gazettal elapsed time, which the registers' list data cannot support. Medians are suppressed below 5 observed cases rather than reported on thin samples.
- Development applications are counted directly from the development application register over the trailing 12 months, grouped by their current canonical status. The full list is on the applications page.
- Observed decision timeline is the median time we have directly watched applications spend between stages, measured from our own observation clock rather than the council's published lodgement and determination dates (which the public record sets only after acceptance and so understate the real wait). It starts small and accrues as we observe more applications change stage; the sample size for each step is always shown alongside it.
