Hamilton development applications

The City of Hamilton publishes its planning applications as Development Applications (Open Hamilton). HamiltonIQ reads it as published and groups the applications the source itself links — the same planning file, or the same site address — into a single project. Nothing is grouped by a similar name or a nearby location, and no figure is read out of a description.

Status: the City of Hamilton’s open data publishes no status or decision for these applications, so none is shown and none is inferred. Where a project’s fate matters, the municipality’s own file is the place to check.

The City's layer publishes no status or decision field, so no project shows a stage. The City's separate quarterly reporting layer does carry statuses, but its newest submission is from March 2024, so it is not used to imply a current status.

Applications at the same site address, as the City spells it, form one site project. Records without an address stay on their own.

The City's layer publishes the filing year but no dates, statuses, unit counts or floor areas, so none are shown.

Ward and community (former municipality) are assigned by where each application's point sits on the City's ward and community layers.

Sources: Development Applications (Open Hamilton) (data service). The dataset is rebuilt from it and re-checked in place.
