The Greater Sydney Urban Development Program dashboard displays information from a range of sources, including data that is generated in-house from within the Department to data that is sourced from external organisations.
Below is a data dictionary that outlines the definitions, methods and sources of key terms within the UDP dashboard.
The completions dataset contains net dwelling completions (XLSX, 545 KB) collected and analysed as part of the Department’s responsibilities to monitor residential dwelling completions. It is based on source data provided by the Sydney Water Corporation which is then spatially overlaid and aggregated by areas of interest.
Approvals data is from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Building Approvals release. It contains information relating to residential and non-residential building work where final approval to begin construction has been granted. It is published by the ABS monthly, however for the UDP dashboard it is aggregated to quarterly intervals. Download data displayed in approvals the dashboard (XLSX, 545 KB).
The Sydney Housing Supply Forecast is produced every year. Detailed methodology can be found in the method paper (PDF, 571 KB). Download the Sydney Housing Supply Forecast datasheet (XLSX, 99 KB).
Market trends information includes rental vacancy rate, median sales price (and change), median asking rent (and change). This information is sourced and then aggregated to a district level. contact CoreLogic and SQM for raw data.
See Urban Development Program resources for other accompanying information.
