UNDA Development · Randwick, NSW · data to May 2026
Randwick, decision by decision.
Every Randwick Local Planning Panel decision since September 2020, read from the Panel's minutes with its reasons and vote. This is what the public record shows from Clovelly to La Perouse, and one recent decision in full.
Precedent, not prediction.
Maroubra · three terraces on one lot
One site, two decisions
Refused in September. Approved on review in February.
The same Maroubra site came before the Panel twice. UNDA keeps both decisions and the reasons for each, so you can see what the Panel objected to the first time and what it accepted the second.
