    High density housing in business and commercial districts, save on transport if people can walk to work.

    Scatter Perth CBD throughout metro area, tax incentives for businesses to do so.

    The moment they start putting apartments in existing suburbs I start to have issues, it creates noise, traffic, further stress on schools and shops. Don’t punish suburban lifestyles for greed and unnecessary growth.
