Source and method
Official NSW evidence, aggregated for publication.
Official NSW Planning Portal applications joined to gazetted NSW suburb boundaries, 1 September 2025 to 1 September 2026. Suburbs with fewer than five applications are withheld. The public page contains suburb totals only. It does not expose applicant names, individual ownership data or a property score.
How this page was made: a repeatable calculation groups approved records by their published suburb, totals the stated fields and compares like-for-like suburb totals. The wording is generated from those calculations; it is not a human valuation or editorial assessment of Waratah.
