Modelled from 146,492 Australian auction sales (2021–2026). Sydney cells run on the base model (suburb prior + configuration + time) without the Sydney-only land/school/transport features — ranges are honest about the wider uncertainty.

2019Q1 → 2026Q2: $730 → $1050/wk median new-tenancy rent in 2017, all dwellings pooled · +2% 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 97 — well above the Sydney average (50 = average) · band high

BOCSAR recorded key offences per resident at POSTCODE level (2017) — 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).

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

9,561 dwellings approved in Zetland between 2019-08-30 and 2023-04-29 (196 applications). Largest: 555dw 106-116 Epsom Road Zetland 2017 (2021) · 555dw 106-116 Epsom Road Zetland 2017 (2022).

Census check: occupied dwellings grew from 4,206 (2016) to 7,161 (2021) — +2,955 delivered in that window, +1,758 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.

Anchor-tenant signals — where the big tenants put capital

Supa Centa Moore Park (trading — 870-dwelling over-station development declared SSD (EOI 310721)): nearby — Woolworths approval 301m away (44 O"Dea Avenue Waterloo 2017).

East Village, Zetland (trading — the shops-below-homes-above typology precedent): nearby — Woolworths approval 297m away (44 O"Dea Avenue Waterloo 2017).

An anchor tenant building new premises near an existing centre is capital commitment — in the Eastlakes case it preceded demolition of the old site by years. At-centre works read the opposite way: investment in place. Detections are keyword matches over public planning records ("nearby" never claims common ownership); curated entries say so.

Known pipeline within 2.5km: 6,416 dwellings across 32 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.

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.

Planned growth — Sydney LGA

The Sydney Plan, the NSW Government's 20-year framework published 13 August 2026. These are projections for the whole LGA, not a forecast for any individual property.

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.
