Project Radar: every Western Sydney DA worth quoting, before it hits the market
This week: 212 lead-worthy Development Applications across 90 suburbs, pulled live from 7 council feeds and tagged by trade. Headline job: 339 units at Rouse Hill.
Western Sydney councils logged 212 lead-worthy Development Applications across 90 suburbs in the feeds pulled on 06/10/2026, and 126 of them are homes, granny flats, duplexes or townhouses. The biggest single job is 339 units over basement parking at 25 Macquarie Road, Rouse Hill. The busiest suburb is Austral, with 22 DAs — nearly all new house builds.
If you're a builder, electrician, plumber, concreter, tiler, painter, plasterer, landscaper or fencer, filter the board below to your trade. Every listing links to its public record on PlanningAlerts.
What moved on the feeds
A plain-English read of where the work is heading, and which councils are actually publishing.
Feeds first. Seven councils served fresh rows this pull: Cumberland (47 lead-worthy DAs), Blacktown (41), Liverpool (40), Campbelltown (27), Camden (23), Hawkesbury (22) and Penrith (12). Liverpool, stuck on a stale batch last issue, is moving again, and Camden is back after going dark. The Hills is the opposite: its newest rows are about a month old, so they sit in the full feed marked stale and aren't counted. Fairfield returned nothing.
Rouse Hill is where the big money is. Blacktown's feed carries the two largest residential jobs on the board: 339 units over basement parking at 25 Macquarie Road, and a Construction Certificate for the basement concrete on 295 apartments across four 8-storey buildings on Cudgegong Road. A basement CC means formwork, reo and concrete crews are being locked in now. Around them, the North West keeps grinding out two-storey homes through Melonba, Marsden Park, Riverstone and Grantham Farm.
Austral is the volume play. With 22 DAs, Austral alone is more than a tenth of the board — almost all new double-storey homes in the South West Growth Area, plus 14 warehouse units on Macaranga Street. Next door, Liverpool also logged townhouses at Moorebank and terraces at Casula.
Cumberland is infill and commercial. Greystanes (9) and Merrylands (8) lead the suburb count with duplexes, granny flats and basement builds, but the bigger tickets are a 90-bed aged care facility on Merrylands Road, a Stage 2 CC at Merrylands RSL, eight extra floors on an approved Neil Street building, a co-living block at Auburn and a three-storey place of worship.
South West and the Aerotropolis. Campbelltown lodged a 95-lot subdivision at Gilead; Camden lodged a 114-place childcare centre at Cobbitty alongside a run of homes with pools in Gledswood Hills and Catherine Field. Penrith's feed is industrial: a 10-lot subdivision and a 24/7 warehouse, both on Mamre Road at Kemps Creek, three weeks out from Western Sydney International opening to passengers on 25/10/2026.

Hot suburbs this week
Ranked by the number of lead-worthy DAs on the fresh feeds. 🔥 = 8 or more; ↑ = 5 to 7.
Which suburbs need your trade
The count is how many of this week's 212 DAs are likely to need that trade, based on the scope in each application. Lead time is how far ahead of your work the typical DA sits.
| Trade | Busiest suburbs right now | Relevant DAs | Typical lead time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Builders | Austral, Greystanes, Merrylands, Rouse Hill, Auburn | 207 DAs | 2–6 months |
| Concreters | Austral, Rouse Hill, Merrylands, Greystanes, Cobbitty | 148 DAs | 1–4 months |
| Electricians | Austral, Greystanes, Merrylands, Rouse Hill, Auburn | 195 DAs | 2–6 months |
| Plumbers | Austral, Greystanes, Merrylands, Rouse Hill, Auburn | 185 DAs | 2–5 months |

What's driving the pipeline
Three numbers worth knowing before you plan the next six months.
Western Sydney Airport opens
Western Sydney International opens to passengers on 25/10/2026, with night operations planned from 01/11/2026. The Aerotropolis industrial build-out along Mamre Road is already showing up on Penrith's feed.
Source: Dept of InfrastructureHouse approvals up on last year
Nationally, private-sector house approvals hit 10,885 in August 2026, 18.4% higher than a year earlier, while apartment-type approvals fell 21.2% for the month. Houses are carrying the market right now.
Source: ABS, 30/09/2026NSW approvals vs a 76,000 need
Urban Taskforce puts NSW dwelling approvals at 52,666 for the 12 months to June 2026, against roughly 76,000 a year needed. The gap is why growth areas like Austral and Rouse Hill keep filling the feeds.
Source: Urban Taskforce, 30/07/2026From DA to priced quote in three steps
A Development Application is public the moment it's lodged. Here's how to turn that into a job.
Filter to your trade
Hit your trade on the live board. The list narrows to the DAs likely to need your work, then scan the full feed by suburb for the smaller jobs.
Open the source listing
Every card links to the DA on PlanningAlerts, which links through to the council file. That file names the applicant and often the builder or certifier — your contact.
Reach out early
Send a short, specific message: the DA number, your trade, your availability and one similar local job. Being first in beats being cheapest.
DA jargon, decoded
The terms you'll see on the council feeds, in language that's actually useful on site.
The standard council approval for new building work. Lodged before construction, so it's your earliest public signal that a job is coming.
Issued after a DA is approved and before work starts. A CC on the feed — like the Cudgegong Road basement CC — means site works are close.
A fast-track approval for projects that tick pre-set rules, often signed off by a private certifier. Shorter path to site than a full DA.
A change to an already-approved DA (formerly s96). Often a sign a project is close to starting — worth chasing sooner than a fresh DA.
An apartment block of three or more storeys. Big, staged trade demand — concrete and formwork early, fit-out trades later.
A granny flat — a self-contained second home on an existing lot. Small, quick jobs that suit smaller crews and one-person operations.
Two dwellings on one lot, attached or detached. Roughly double the trade hours of a single build for not much more travel.
Splitting land into separately-owned lots. Means civil works — earthworks, roads, drainage, fencing — then a pipeline of house builds.
Project Radar FAQ
What tradies ask about using DA data to find work.
What is Project Radar?
Project Radar is a free weekly tracker of Development Applications lodged with Western Sydney councils. This issue lists 212 lead-worthy DAs across 90 suburbs, each tagged with the trades it's likely to need, so local tradies can quote work weeks before it reaches the open market. Every listing links to its source record on planningalerts.org.au, and the board refreshes weekly.
Which councils does Project Radar cover?
Project Radar checks nine Western Sydney council feeds: Blacktown, Cumberland, Liverpool, Camden, Campbelltown, Penrith, Hawkesbury, The Hills and Fairfield. This issue 7 served fresh rows, The Hills served only month-old rows (shown but flagged stale), and Fairfield returned nothing. Each council scraper runs on its own schedule, so every issue states the status of every feed rather than padding the board.
How can a tradie find leads from Development Applications in Western Sydney?
A DA is lodged before any work starts, so it flags jobs two to eighteen months ahead of site works. Filter the board to your trade, open the PlanningAlerts listing, then click through to the council file for the applicant, owner and often the builder or certifier. Send a short message quoting the DA number, your trade, your availability and one similar local job.
Which Western Sydney suburbs have the most DAs right now?
As of 06/10/2026, the busiest suburbs on the fresh feeds are Austral (22 lead-worthy DAs), Greystanes (9) and Merrylands (8). Austral is almost entirely new house builds in the South West Growth Area, while Rouse Hill carries the two biggest apartment jobs on the board: 339 units on Macquarie Road and 295 apartments on Cudgegong Road.
How often is the DA data updated?
Weekly. Project Radar normally refreshes on Monday mornings; this issue went out Tuesday 06/10/2026 because Monday was the NSW Labour Day public holiday. Rows stay on the board for about 30 days, then rotate off. Council scrapers refresh at different speeds, so some feeds cover a few days and others three weeks — the date on each card shows when PlanningAlerts received it.
Is Project Radar free to use?
Yes. Project Radar costs $0, needs no account, and every listing links straight to the public record. The weekly email alert is also free, can be filtered by trade and area, and you can unsubscribe at any time. Western Sydney Trades runs it to help local tradies find work earlier and build relationships with the builders and developers in their patch.
Does a DA guarantee that construction work will happen?
No. A DA is an application, not an approval or a contract. Some are refused, withdrawn, modified or sit dormant for months, and a modification can shrink a job as easily as grow it. Treat every listing as an early signal, confirm the status on the council's own portal, and verify the project with the applicant before you commit time or money to it.
What's the difference between a DA, a CDC and a Section 4.55 modification?
A DA is the standard council approval for new work and typically takes weeks to months. A Complying Development Certificate (CDC) is a fast-track for projects that meet pre-set rules, often issued by a private certifier. A Section 4.55 modifies an already-approved DA. For tradies, a 4.55 or a Construction Certificate usually means the project is closer to site works than a fresh DA.
What do the New, Imminent and Stale labels mean?
New means the DA appeared on the feed since the last issue. Imminent flags a listing that reads as close to construction — usually a Construction Certificate, a stage CC or a modification to an approved project. Stale marks rows from a council feed that hasn't refreshed for weeks; this issue that's The Hills, whose newest rows are about a month old.
How will Western Sydney Airport affect tradie work?
Western Sydney International opens to passengers on 25/10/2026, and the Aerotropolis around it is already pulling industrial and civil work. This issue alone lists a 10-lot industrial subdivision and a 24/7 warehouse on Mamre Road at Kemps Creek. Expect steady demand for civil, concrete, electrical and fencing crews along Mamre Road, Elizabeth Drive and Fifteenth Avenue as the precinct fills.
