Urban Development Capacity dashboard

The Urban Development Capacity dashboard provides a range of market and price efficiency indicators that help Councils to understand how their local markets are responding to growth.

About the dashboard

Councils are required to monitor and use the dashboard when implementing the National Policy Statement on Urban Development Capacity (NPS-UDC).

Note that the dashboard works best using the Chrome web browser.
