● What the data says
Picketts Valley runs new dwelling first, with swimming pool / spa (5) close behind: new dwelling leads at 5 of 17 DAs on record. A Prestige-tier market on a $2.75M median, a typical job runs $100k, approvals are up 300% year on year.
29% of approvals are new builds or demolitions, so knock-down-rebuild is a genuine slice here, not just extensions.
Lifestyle spend
29% of approvals are pools, decks and fencing, a discretionary-spend signal for pool, landscape and fencing trades.
