Some little snippets
The minimum primary street setbacks for residential zoned properties may be:
(a) R20 coded lots – 5m
(b) R25 coded lots – 4m
(c) R30-R60 coded lots – 3m

The Open Space Minimum Total % of site requirement in Table 1 of the R-Codes may be reduced by up to 5% provided the minimum outdoor living area requirements relevant to that Density Code are met.

 

great to see a council pro-active for all infill product to roughly align with the new RMD provisions.

 

The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) intends to amend the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) for land in the local government of Nedlands and is seeking public comment.

The amendment proposes to transfer approximately 15.785 ha from the Public Purposes (Hospital) reservation to the Urban zone in the MRS.

The Western Australian Planning Commission certifies that, in its opinion, the proposed amendment does not constitute a substantial alteration to the MRS.

16ha in Nedlands becoming new housing stock doesn't trigger a major amendment?

Asset sales must be a priority.

 

What will this do to the existing prices in nedlands? Any strategic buying opportunities?

 

it will affect the hollywood estate but probably not nedlands as a whole imo.

these will undoubtedly be small blocks, some terrace housing and some apartments like say churchlands green
