Get ready for Perth housing blocks to become even smaller under new State Government planning reform

Résumé détaillé

A new proposal would make it easier to sell off the backyard and maintain your existing home, but buyers will feel the squeeze.

Housing blocks could be carved into even smaller sizes than originally intended under the State Government’s upcoming planning reform. The Government is investigating a new reform to residential design codes — part of the biggest shake-up to density codes in three decades — to allow properties of 700sqm to carve off a 300sqm subdivision. An earlier reform recommendation had proposed 700sqm lots in areas zoned R20 or below be able to split their block in two, allowing 350sqm blocks. It was a change from the current requirement, which allowed subdivision only where the block is 900sqm or bigger.
