NSW housing completions have reached a five-year high. But are we building enough?

Some encouraging news for NSW's housing market.

According to figures released by the NSW Government last week:

🏠 49,545 new homes completed in 2025–26, up 16% on the previous year.

🏗️ 51,807 new homes commenced, an increase of more than 10%.

These are positive signs, particularly given the challenges facing the construction industry over recent years.

We've seen significant planning reforms across NSW, including the Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy, Transport Oriented Development, affordable housing bonuses and the Housing Delivery Authority.

The increase in completions is welcome news. The real challenge is maintaining that momentum and ensuring the thousands of additional homes being enabled through planning reforms translate into actual housing.

Last month Waverley Council supported our client's dual occupancy development in Rose Bay. This project delivers two contemporary, low‑impact homes on a single lot with strata subdivision. Designed by Yvonne Haber Architects with careful site planning, it will add much needed housing choice to the area while respecting the neighbourhood character. Big thanks to the Council for their support and we’re looking forward to securing more approvals before the year ends!

A top compliment is getting a DA approved within four weeks with no requests for extra information or design changes. Our North Bondi clients needed more room for their family, so we helped secure approval for ground-floor alterations, a new first floor and a garage. It was great collaborating with designers Lara Shein and Dani Filler on this one.

Waverley Council recently approved our client's major renovation in North Bondi. Upgrading the existing two storey home and adding a new pool were key elements of the DA. It was a pleasure working with designer Richard Chapman and our clients on this project.

Navon Planning prepared the DA for new signage at the recently opened Bondi Mental Health Centre to deliver clear wayfinding and visible branding. Although the fitout was approved via a CDC, the signage needed a DA and also provides privacy for both users and staff.

The centre was established to support the local community affected by the Bondi Beach attack and Navon Planning is proud to have contributed to this important facility. In collaboration with Anthony Eskief and Daniel Karamaneas.

After assisting our client with DA approval for two new semis and a Torrens-title subdivision, they’ve now secured approval to add extra space to the top level master bedroom and storage. Although this represented a 20% FSR variation, the addition is at the front so it won’t cast shadows on adjoining properties and the shading falls mostly across the street. This enabled the design to meet Council's other planning provisions to preserve environment amenity. Currently under construction, we can't wait to see the completed building!

A few months back we secured DA approval for our client’s innovative concept: adding office space above their existing petrol station in Loftus. By reimagining the conventional service station with a creative, sensitive design, we gained Sutherland Council’s full support with no concerns.

In May, Woollahra Council approved our client's DA for a major extension to an existing two‑storey home in Vaucluse without opposition. The project needed careful justification and a few negotiated variations, including keeping two driveways and varied setbacks, but Council ultimately endorsed the proposal. It was a pleasure working with our clients, the architect and Council to secure this important approval.

Designed by Yvonne Haber.

We don’t just guide clients through the DA process, we give upfront, no-nonsense advice on CDCs (Complying Development Certificates) eligibility, flagging issues to prevent costly delays. That early clarity often saves clients months in approvals and $$$ in unexpected fees.

Client approvals are a big milestone, but the real excitement starts when construction kicks off. This Queens Park project is moving ahead and is close to being completed. Swipe to see months of planning turn into real progress!
