Residential Design Codes, or R-Codes, control the design of residential housing development in Western Australia. R-Codes are used to ensure that residential subdivisions adhere to performance requirements and compliance standards, including the type of houses that can be built on land parcels. Residential Design Codes are important for future development as Western Australia grows.
What do R-Codes take into consideration?
R-Codes take into consideration social, economic, environmental, heritage and cultural factors including:
- Types of dwelling allowed
- Boundary setbacks
- Minimum open space required
- Maximum dwelling heights
- Streetscapes for the area
- Parking and access requirements
- Siteworks
- Ratios when building apartments
