Investor-active

28% 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.

Rebuild market

37% of approvals are new builds or demolitions, so knock-down-rebuild is a genuine slice here, not just extensions.

Big-ticket jobs

the typical $340k approval is about 42% of the $800k median home, these are substantial transformations, not cosmetic touch-ups.
