Perry Lakes Redevelopment

PERRY LAKES REDEVELOPMENT

911. Hon LYNN MacLAREN to the minister representing the Minister for Planning:

I refer to the Perry Lakes redevelopment at Floreat.

(1) Is there an affordable housing component to the development?

(a) If so, how many affordable housing dwellings are planned?

(b) How will they be delivered?

(c) Will the affordable housing component be allocated for a certain demographic such as older Australians?

Hon ROBYN McSWEENEY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) Revenue from sales of land at Perry Lakes contributes to the funding of the new replacement sports facilities by the Department of Sport and Recreation and a guaranteed return to the Town of Cambridge. There will be a diverse range of block sizes that will allow housing choice.

(a) There will be a maximum of 606 dwellings, including single residential duplex townhouses and apartments, of which 240 small dwellings will be 100 square metres or below as a requirement of the WA Planning Commission statutory approval conditions.

(b) On behalf of the state, LandCorp will sell serviced lots of land to individuals, builders and developers. Building and dwelling types will be controlled through the statutory building approval processes consistent with the Perry Lakes Redevelopment Act 2005, including detailed area plans and design guidelines.

(c) A minimum of 30 dwellings will be designed for people who have reached 55 years of age, designed to Australian Standard 1428 as required by the Perry Lakes Redevelopment Act 2005.
