Investor-active

18% of approvals are dual-occupancy, subdivision or granny flats, above the 16% coast norm, so a real share of the work is yield-driven, developers and landlords, not just homeowners.

Big-ticket jobs

the typical $86k approval is about 12% of the $695k median home, these are substantial transformations, not cosmetic touch-ups.

Lifestyle spend

28% of approvals are pools, decks and fencing, a discretionary-spend signal for pool, landscape and fencing trades.
