38% 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 $132k approval is about 21% of the $620k median home, these are substantial transformations, not cosmetic touch-ups.
