The department has been monitoring the status and availability of existing and potential future industrial land and business parks as part of the Employment Lands Development Monitor (ELDM) since 2010. It covers the Sydney, Central Coast, Hunter and Illawarra-Shoalhaven Regions. Reporting for the Hunter and Illawarra-Shoalhaven Region’s commenced in 2017 and 2018 respectively. From 2021, a summary across the rest of Regional NSW has been added to the report.

Its aims is to provide the data and evidence needed to inform planning decisions that enable job creation and the functioning of a city.

The ELDM is an annual snapshot taken at a point in time. As such, the ELDM land audit and associated data is taken as at January 2022. However, some reporting included in the ELDM such as the Industrial, Commercial and Retail reports provide a more recent outlook across the first half of 2022 including the impact of COVID-19 on the market.
