166 Key Performance Indicators Effectiveness Indicator: Relative Affordability of property and land prices This indicator compares the cost of existing property and land prices with that of other mainland and non-territory capital cities. Given that housing and land costs are a function of land supply, it is reasonable to assume that relative affordability of housing and land indicate effective management of land supply in support of economic outcomes. This indicator measures the comparative number of weeks that a home purchaser requires to pay off house purchase in the major capital cities. It is a function of the median house prices of each of those cities over the average weekly earnings. Data for this indicator sourced from the REIWA publication Market Facts March Quarter 2009 and the Australian Economic Indicators, published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in August 2009. Relative affordability of property and land prices 2005-06 Actual Third lowest quintile 2006-07 Actual Second highest quintile 2007-08 Actual Second lowest quintile 2008-09 Target Third highest quintile 2008-09 Reasons for Actual Significant Variance Lowest Average weekly earnings quintile increased by $48.61 with the median house price also increasing by $30,000 from 2007-08 to 2008-09.
Effectiveness Indicator: Average lot size in the Perth Metropolitan Region In addition to managing demand through timely release of land supply, the Department impacts on the affordability through ensuring that infrastructure is optimally used. The WA Government’s submission to the Productivity Commission 6 inquiry into first home ownership estimated savings to the community through redirecting growth from the urban fringe to areas of under-utilised infrastructure as $30,000 per lot. The Planning and Transport Research Centre (PATREC) 7 study found that savings of $33,000 per lot can be achieved where a contiguous development front is maintained rather than allowing development to occur in spatially scattered sites. Therefore, in order for urban sprawl and its associated costs to be minimised to provide affordable lots and to provide choice and variety, lot sizes should be reduced. DPI aims for a average lot size of less than 565m 2 in the Perth Metropolitan Region. The figures for this measure are obtained from the WAPC publication State Lot Activity Report (June 2009). Average lot size in the Perth Metropolitan Region 2005-06 Actual 2006-07 Actual 2007-08 Actual 2008-09 Target 2008-09 Actual 560m 2 532m 2 509m 2 518m 2 482m 2 Key Performance Indicators Reasons for Significant Variance There has been a decline in the number of lots greater than 500 m2 granted final approval. This is considered to be the market response to the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) with developers concentrating on the more affordable end of the market. The target figure was estimated prior to the full impact of the GFC being known. 6 Australian Government Productivity Commission, First Home Ownership – Productivity Commission Inquiry Report, No. 28, 31 March 2004 7 PATREC is a collaboration between the four public universities of Western Australia: Curtin University of Technology, Edith Cowan University, Murdoch University and the University of Western Australia. It receives financial support from the Government of Western Australia through the Department for Planning and Infrastructure and Main Roads WA. 167
