Town Planner — Approval Patterns

Where and what kind of development gets approved vs refused, for site selection and project framing.

Approved (incl. amended / negotiated)
Refused
Withdrawn / lapsed / no decision yet
Approval rate by use type

An application can carry more than one use category (e.g. "Material Change of Use; Operational Works;"), so it's counted once per category — totals won't sum to the application count. Rate = approved / (approved + refused); withdrawn/undecided applications are excluded from the rate but shown in their own column.

Use type Total Appr. Ref. W/D Rate
Approval rate by suburb

Suburb parsed from the site address. Sort by rate or refusal count to spot higher-risk areas.

Suburb Total Appr. Ref. Avg obj. Rate
Objection volume vs. outcome

Average objection count on applications that ended up approved vs. refused, per group. A large gap suggests heavy objection volume tracks with refusal risk for that group; groups with few refusals (low "Ref. n") should be read cautiously.
