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 (9 years).

Recent key statistics, from the 2024-2025 financial year are:

• A total of 3049 development and building applications were received in 2024-2025, up from 2739 the previous year;

• The City determined 95% of those applications within statutory timeframes;

• 672 development applications were received, up from 554 the previous year, and 77% of those applications were determined within statutory timeframes;

• Of those 672 development applications, 81 required advertising for comment; 

• The City received 96 subdivision referrals from the WAPC and 68% of those referrals were responded to within statutory timeframes;
