Perth and Peel Urban Land Development Outlook for Residential Projects

Perth and Peel metropolitan area data spatially displays future land and dwelling development over short, medium, and long terms. The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage compiled the 2020/21 release, which includes residential, industrial, commercial, and tourism land uses.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of future residential development for infrastructure planning using land use classifications.
• Model dwelling supply forecasts by integrating data on fringe and infill developments of five dwellings or more.
• Assess land use coordination between residential, special residential, and retirement village zones for urban growth monitoring.

Strengths

• Spatially explicit data provided in multiple geospatial formats including SHP, GEOJSON, and WMS.
• Comprehensive 2020/21 release covers seven distinct land use categories such as residential, industrial, and commercial.
• Data incorporates input from State and local government as well as the private sector.

Limitations

• Unknown row count and column structure limits analytical scope and preprocessing planning.
• Sample data is unavailable, preventing assessment of data granularity and attribute completeness.
• Primary focus on Perth and Peel regions introduces geographic bias for broader Australian urban studies.
