A greater focus should be put on inner-city train stations when it comes to meeting housing infill targets in the greater Perth region which continues to sprawl, says a crossbench MP.
The greater Perth area, which includes metropolitan suburbs and the Peel region, had the lowest percentage of flats and apartments out of all Australian capital cities, according to the latest census data, at 7 per cent of 851,322 dwellings.
