The council league table is an interactive dashboard monitoring performance for lodgement and determination of development applications in the Statement of Expectations Order 2024. Data can be viewed by council, geographic region, development type and over different time periods. 

State agency performance for concurrence, integrated development and referral timeframes is also monitored. We are also tracking how long councils take to refer assessment reports to Sydney district and regional planning panels.

More information on the data and metrics included in the council league table can be found in the 'Definitions' tab of the dashboards.
