Suburb - Development

Council intelligence signals

Council capex / project-pipeline signals extracted from the LGA's meeting minutes — each with stage, dollar value, location and time horizon — plus a rollup of the total pipeline in dollars.

Exact suburb identifier required. Exact ABS Suburb and Locality (SAL) name, e.g. Burwood (NSW) — many suburbs carry a state suffix. If starting from free text or an unverified bare name, first call GET /v1/geocode/suburb?q=<text>, then use the exact data[].area_name it returns. Suburb data endpoints do not guess a state or typo-correct names.

Price: 20¢ per call.
