Investor-active

15% of approvals are dual-occupancy, subdivision or granny flats, above the 13% coast norm, so a real share of the work is yield-driven, developers and landlords, not just homeowners.

Rebuild market

53% of approvals are new builds or demolitions, so knock-down-rebuild is a genuine slice here, not just extensions.

Big-ticket jobs

the typical $365k approval is about 50% of the $730k median home, these are substantial transformations, not cosmetic touch-ups.
