2019Q1 → 2026Q2: $590 → $735/wk median new-tenancy rent in 2011, all dwellings pooled · +9% over the last 12 months (latest four quarters averaged against the previous four).

Every figure is from NSW Fair Trading rental bond lodgements (CC BY) — rents tenants actually signed at, not advertised asks. Postcode is the finest geography the source publishes, and a postcode may span more than one suburb. Middle half = 25th–75th percentile. New-tenancy rents run hotter than sitting rents. Not financial advice.

Crime — recorded key offences (BOCSAR)

Index 98 — well above the Sydney average (50 = average) · band high

BOCSAR recorded key offences per resident at POSTCODE level (2011) — a postcode can span neighbouring suburbs. Rates are per RESIDENT — visitor-heavy precincts read high. Source: NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (CC BY 4.0).

⭐ Yield vs growth — who pays here, and does it convert?

High yield AND measured growth. Gross yield 4.2% (bond-median rent $750/wk against a measured unit sale median of $920k) · measured growth +4.8%/yr — against metro medians of 4.1% and 1.7%/yr across 39 tracked suburbs.

Both sides above the metro median — rare, and worth checking the supply pipeline before believing it lasts.

Rent trajectory (new-tenancy bond medians, postcode 2011): +7.0%/yr over the last 3 years · +3.1%/yr since 2019 — a level is not a trend; both are shown so neither is implied.

Working: rent = NSW rental bond lodgements, flats, postcode level; growth = all-unit quarterly-median OLS — mix-sensitive, read as indicative over 12 quarters. Relative labels — "high" means above the metro median in this window, nothing more. Drivers are places and distances, never who lives here.

Delivered & approved supply — what got built around here, honestly windowed

139 dwellings approved in Potts Point between 2019-08-30 and 2023-04-29 (194 applications). Largest: 52dw 18-20 Darlinghurst Road Potts Point 2011 (2021).

Census check: occupied dwellings grew from 3,619 (2016) to 4,929 (2021) — +1,310 delivered in that window, +248 of them apartments — measured completion, independent of any approval record.

Council portal records begin August 2019 — approvals before that date are invisible to the automated count and appear here only where curated from public record (and say so). Approved also precedes completed by 1–3 years. State-assessed projects live in the fast-track section, not these counts.

State-fiat planning programs — controls moved by state decision (RULE-002)

Low and Mid-Rise Housing reform — Kings Cross station and town centre · controls from 2025-02-28 · source

A state-fiat listing changes what can be BUILT here — planning controls, height, density — by government decision, with no demand-demonstration step. It is a zoning signal, not a price signal: our own backtests found listed and unlisted suburbs moving together, so we don't claim price uplift from a listing. What it reliably means: development capacity changed on the date shown, checkable at the source.

Institutional moves — arrivals & departures, 12-month DA window

When an organisation with real money commits to a location — or abandons one — they've done homework you can't see. The market moves around that decision; the building is the visible end of it.

Known pipeline within 2.5km: 1,253 dwellings across 29 projects — future supply IF approved and built. More homes coming can mean growth in services and momentum, but also more stock competing with a resale.

Supply concentration: one applicant (Think Planners) is behind 3 of the nearby pipeline projects (345 dwellings, 30% of the known pipeline). Concentrated supply cuts both ways: delivery is likelier, but future sales and rentals compete with the same pipeline's next release — a cap the growth numbers won't show. Applicants can be planning consultants acting for a developer.

These proposals go straight to NSW state assessment (Housing Delivery Authority pathway) and never appear in council DA counts. Dwelling numbers are the applicant's EOI figures — assessment can trim them. Distance is suburb-centre to project, ±500m.

Housing and jobs targets — SYDNEY LGA

Under the NSW Government's 20-year Sydney plan, SYDNEY has a five-year housing target of 18,900 new homes (2024–2029) and a jobs target of 93,500–143,000 additional jobs by 2046.

The housing target is the supply pipeline for the area: the number of new homes the state expects the council to plan capacity for, concentrated around the centres and station areas the Plan nominates. The jobs figure is published as an aspirational range and is not legislated the way housing targets are.

State rezoning pipeline — Sydney LGA

The Sydney Plan lists 4 state significant rezoning sites in this LGA — land the NSW Government is rezoning (or has rezoned) for additional homes and jobs, alongside council-led supply. Dwelling and jobs figures are preliminary estimates provided by proponents or councils.

These are LGA-level sites, not a statement about any individual property; the Plan does not publish site boundaries or coordinates in this appendix.
