Planning/Building Performance Statistics

The City is committed to processing planning and building applications as early as possible within statutory timeframes, while maintaining the quality of its assessments. The City supports that commitment to expediting applications with in-house record keeping and auditing, and ongoing participation in the monitoring project which compares performance across Local Government:

• The Western Australian Local Government Association's (WALGA) Local Government Performance Monitoring project (8 years).

Recent key statistics, from the 2023-2024 financial year are:

• A total of 2739 development and building applications were received in 2023-2024;

• The City determined 97% of those applications within statutory timeframes;

• 554 development applications were received and 87% of those applications were determined within statutory timeframes;

• Of those 554 development applications, 89 required advertising for comment and 465 did not; 

• The City received 64 subdivision referrals from the WAPC and 87% of those referrals were responded to within statutory timeframes; 

• The City's Design Review Panel met 7 times and considered a total of 12 proposals; and
