I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question. The following has been
provided to me by the Minister for Planning and Lands.
(1)–(6) The Cook Labor government is
committed to increasing housing diversity and supply across the state. As
identified by the Grattan Institute, low-density controls dominate most well-located
residential land in Perth, with 92% of residential land within 30 kilometres of
the CBD being limited to two storeys or less.
Development within transit
orientated precincts has been identified by successive governments as the best
place for increased density, including by former Liberal–National
governments.
Infrastructure is always
considered as part of the planning process.
