THE WA government’s housing density rollout continued to be felt acutely through Vincent this week: Five of the six planning items in front of the council were applications to demolish single homes and erect units or mixed projects.
Real estate agents are embracing the gold rush in their advertising.
On the corner of Vincent and Charles Street, a character house is on the market. The “for sale” sign reads “Make money now! Multi unit site! Character home with redevelopment potential.”
Vincent mayor John Carey says the directive is coming from the WA government’s Directions 2031 plan to handle increased population, and the council needs to manage the increase in units carefully by steering them towards major roads instead of quieter neighbourhoods and back streets.
