Covid has exacerbated sea change / tree change forces that has significantly reduced the availability of rental accommodation in many regional areas. Housing for workers is critical for many industries including agriculture. Shortages of off farm accommodation can lead many farmers to look to improve accommodation options on farm, where traditionally this was not needed to be on site for welfare or safety issues.
Housing on farmland has been a difficult issue for many years. When are dwellings justified for agriculture? How can the planning system support multiple dwellings on farms when they are needed for farming, for instance a farm-manager’s dwelling on a large dairy farm? When is temporary accommodation appropriate on a farm for seasonal workers? How can the planning system, government and developers work together to provide appropriate and affordable accommodation off farm for agriculture and other workers?

To do this, our major streets must be more than just vehicle arterials, they will become important places for community, too. If well-designed they can be places we walk, cycle, and catch transit; places to stop and pick up a morning coffee; places to meet a friend; and places to live.
In Perth, there has been progression towards the Movement and Place approach gaining recognition and being tested and adopted. We have the opportunity to reconsider our streets to recognise their place value as well as their movement function.
