Medium Density Code
Overview
The State Government is seeking feedback on a proposed draft Medium Density Code. This Code will form part of SPP 7.3 Residential Design Codes Volume 1 (R-Codes), to encourage greater diversity of well-designed housing to meet the changing needs and expectations of our community.
This consultation provides an opportunity for you to have your say about the draft Medium Density Code, including:
- Draft State Planning Policy 7.3 - Residential Design Codes Volume 1 - Medium Density
- Draft Medium Density Explanatory Guidelines.
For more information, please visit the Design WA section of the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage website.
Information you provide in your submission will be used to help inform the final policy which is expected to be operational by late 2021. Your feedback may be used in a submission report that is made public, however personal details will not be included.
In providing comments, the following options are available:
- detailed feedback on the specific settings of the Medium Density Code OR
- general feedback on what’s important to you and the outcomes you would like the Code to deliver.
Why your views matter
We are seeking feedback on the draft Code and accompanying guidelines from the development industry, users of the planning system and the broader community to ensure it is effective in delivering better medium density housing, centred on good design.

The Department will be hosting sessions during the consultation period to provide more information relating to the Medium Density Code.
