What are the latest changes to infill development regulations in Perth for multi-unit dwellings?

Perth's infill development regulations for multi-unit dwellings have seen a notable shift towards increased density and streamlined approvals, primarily through changes to the Residential Design Codes (R-Codes) and local planning schemes. A significant change is the emphasis on performance-based assessments, offering greater flexibility for innovative designs that meet desired amenity outcomes. The State Government's infill targets have driven amendments promoting diverse housing types and smaller lot sizes. Key areas impacted include minimum lot sizes, maximum dwelling yield, and car parking requirements, often adjusted to facilitate more efficient land use in established areas.
