PLANNING — INFILL TARGETS
614. Hon Dr BRAD PETTITT to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Planning:
I
refer to the infill target of 47 per cent for the Perth and Peel region to the
year 2050 contained within the Perth and Peel@3.5 million frameworks.
(1) What was the percentage of new
dwellings classified as infill in 2020?
(2) What was the
percentage of new dwellings within greenfield development on the urban fringe
in 2020?
(3) What was the percentage of new
dwellings classified as infill as at 30 June 2021?
(4) What was the
percentage of new dwellings within greenfield developments on the urban fringe
as at 30 June 2021?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1)–(4)
The most recent infill figures are as at December 2019. Approximately 12 280
new dwellings completed construction in 2019. Of these, 52 per cent were gross
infill dwellings and 48 per cent were greenfield dwellings. These figures
represent gross dwelling construction, before demolitions are considered. The number of net infill dwellings built in 2019—that
is, with demolitions removed from the gross infill figure—was 4 400,
representing an infill rate of 43 per cent. Infill dwelling development is
expected to vary from year to year and is unlikely to progress in a smooth or
linear fashion.
