Higher readings indicate more friction against the delivery of new housing

1What This Branch Covers
The APN Future Development Pipeline Index™ is scoped as a six-part read on the pressures shaping whether new housing supply actually gets delivered: the residual land value gap between land cost and viable development (RLV Gap), the delivery of major enabling infrastructure (Enabling Infrastructure Index), strain in construction materials and labour supply (Supply Chain Strain), community resistance to development (Social Licence & Objection Velocity), the gap between a property's insured and market value (Replacement Cost Gap), and the availability of credit to fund development (Development Finance Conditions).

**RLV Gap (24410)** reads the gap between land value and the cost of feasible construction, comparing residential land values against construction costs and dwelling prices. Certified at −2.3978σ (Q2 2026), the lowest reading in its own history to date.

**Enabling Infrastructure Index (24420)** was originally scoped as an infrastructure uplift multiplier around Infrastructure Australia's Priority List, a national public pipeline register, supplemented by state infrastructure-department project trackers. Its first-cut construction, built on a different public data source, is certified at −0.1209σ (Q2 2026). Its final scope and data sourcing remain under review.

**Supply Chain Strain (24430)** combines three national ABS measures — growth in house-construction input prices (Producer Price Indexes, 6427.0), the job vacancy rate, and dwelling approvals relative to residential construction work done. Certified at −0.2303σ (Q2 2026).

**Social Licence & Objection Velocity (24440)** is the weakest-scoped of the six — development-application objection counts exist only patchily inside individual council records, with no consolidated statutory register at any tier. It is to be built from the partial data that does exist, read as a sample rather than a national count, and joins the index when it is.

**Replacement Cost Gap (24450)** tracks whether the gap between what dwellings sell for and what they cost to build is widening or narrowing, comparing growth in the ABS national mean dwelling price with growth in house-construction input prices. Certified at +0.1055σ (Q2 2026).

**Development Finance Conditions (24460)** tracks year-on-year growth in bank exposure to land development lending and in construction loan commitments. Certified at +0.6242σ (Q2 2026).

The index composes on the five certified components at equal weight, each signed so that higher readings mean more friction against delivery. RLV Gap (24410), Enabling Infrastructure (24420), Replacement Cost Gap (24450) and Development Finance Conditions (24460) enter inverted, because in their own direction a higher reading means less friction; Supply Chain Strain (24430) enters as it reads. At the quarter ending 30 June 2026 the index reads +0.3117σ, position 83.6, ranked against 56 quarters of full coverage since September 2012, the highest reading since June 2023. It rose from the March quarter mainly because growth in development finance eased from the top of its record and the replacement cost gap narrowed; both enter inverted, so their easing adds friction. Residual land value feasibility remains at the lowest of its record. Social Licence & Objection Velocity (24440) joins the index when it is built; until then the index composes on five of its six components.

**Shared input.** Input-cost growth reaches the index through two components, Supply Chain Strain (24430) and Replacement Cost Gap (24450). With their signs applied the two move together, correlating at 0.42 over the 56 quarters, so input costs carry more than one component’s weight.

The highest ranked reading was +0.8308σ in the March quarter 2019, and the lowest −0.6553σ in the December quarter 2021. Higher readings indicate more friction against the delivery of new housing; four of its five built components enter inverted. Full component coverage begins in September 2012; earlier quarters are drawn dashed and are not ranked.
