NSW minister for planning and infrastructure Brad Hazzard said that approvals were at the highest level since 2003/2004.

“The Hills led the way with 211 dwelling completions in May, followed by Camden (166), Botany (151), Blacktown (130), Parramatta (122) and Canada Bay (70),” Mr Hazzard said.

“Encouragingly, home completions in Sydney are continuing to increase at a faster rate than approvals.

"The results are great news for homebuyers."
