Could 50,000 more blocks in Perth soon become subdividable?

The WA Government has announced major proposed changes to the Residential Design Codes, potentially unlocking thousands of new subdivision and infill-development opportunities across Perth. 

But before property owners and investors rush to buy development sites, there are important risks, timeframes and practical issues to understand.

In this episode of Perth Property Insider, Jarrad is joined by Anton Flynn from Subdivison Experts to reveal what the proposed WA R-Codes reforms could actually mean for R20-zoned properties, 700m² blocks, granny flats, dual-key developments, and Perth’s future housing supply.

You’ll hear why the reforms could be a major opportunity for existing property owners - with one important caveat.

You’ll learn:

✅Why some 700m² R20 blocks could potentially be subdivided into two
✅How the proposed changes differ from current R20 subdivision requirements
✅What the reforms could mean for Perth property values and development potential
✅The specific group of people who owners may benefit most from the changes
✅A potentially overlooked issue that may create congestion in established suburbs
✅Why local councils may resist parts of the proposed planning reforms
✅The critical timing factor that determines when investors should avoid buying property
✅Two things that may be just as important as rezoning land
