Population growth—Perth—Standard of living
957. Hon Rod Caddies to
the parliamentary secretary representing the
Minister for Planning and Lands:
I refer to the
recent WAtoday article on Perth's
accelerated population growth to 3.5 million by 2039. Will the minister confirm
that without matching infrastructure to keep up with demand, immigration will
negatively impact the standard of living for Western Australians, including
increased housing pressures, congestion and strained public services?
