The Quarterly Insights Monitor includes the most recent data and analysis across each stage of the housing supply pipeline and monitors the progress of key NSW housing supply initiatives. The monitor helps the government, councils, regulators and developers maintain a healthy pipeline of development-ready land over the medium-to-long term.

The NSW Government aims to create a healthy housing supply pipeline as part of its package of measures to increase housing supply and affordability.
The pipeline covers potential lots and dwellings across 5 stages – strategic planning, zoning, infrastructure servicing, development approval, construction and completions.
Some land in NSW is development-ready, with residential zoning and the enabling infrastructure (roads, water, sewage, etc.) in place. But we need good strategic planning and rezoning to unlock additional supply in the right locations to meet future growth.
The department’s analysis of greenfield developments in the key growth areas of Sydney found it takes on average 4 to 5 years for rezoned lots to deliver new completed dwellings, and not all approved housing projects go through to construction and completion. We need a healthy pipeline to meet future housing needs.
While local and global factors significantly influence the pipeline stages, the planning system plays an important role in supporting a good housing supply pipeline.
Strategic planning
Zoning
Infrastructure servicing
Development approval
Construction and completion
The NSW Government continues to do all it can to support the housing supply pipeline. The department will focus on providing clarity and certainty to the community, councils and industry, so projects can proceed, homes are unlocked and new communities are built in the right places and supported by infrastructure.
