Wallanbah runs new dwelling first, with subdivision (2) close behind: new dwelling leads at 3 of 9 DAs on record. A Established-tier market on a $770k median, a typical job runs $286k, approvals are up 300% year on year.
33% 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
33% of approvals are new builds or demolitions, so knock-down-rebuild is a genuine slice here, not just extensions.
Big-ticket jobs
the typical $286k approval is about 37% of the $770k median home, these are substantial transformations, not cosmetic touch-ups.
