Newcastle Property Facts Makes Planning Records Legible
A local evidence tool that tracks development applications and heritage designations across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.
Field notes
The homepage reports a governed snapshot of official planning records across two councils, with 14,282 Lake Macquarie entries and 9,735 Newcastle entries. Individual examples expose addresses, application identifiers, lodged dates, proposal types and statuses such as “Under Assessment” and “Additional Information Requested.” The site explicitly separates a lodged application from approval or completion and directs readers back to authority records for verification. Additional views for alerts, property histories and evidence packs are described as capabilities the project can build from its current coverage.
