1. Naonal Medium Density Trends

Australians are increasingly turning to medium density homes over the stand alone house. More than

two in ve (43.4%) home approvals are for medium density dwellings in the year to October 2013,

compared to only 33.1% ve years ago

Capital cies account for 87.1% of medium density housing approvals in the year to October 2013,

well above the 71.7% in 2008 The highest proporon of medium density approvals in the past two years were in inner city areas in

Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane

Close to two thirds of local areas naonally (216 out of 330) have seen an increase in medium density

housing as a proporon of their total housing stock

Medium density housing increases across Australia

The proporon of new homes approved which are medium density homes units, townhouses and

semi-detached has increased to 43.4% in the 12 months leading to October 2013, this is up from 39.8% in

2012, and is the highest level on record.

Over the past 29 years, the average annual proporon of medium density dwellings of total approvals has been

30.6%. However, over the past 10 years this gure increases to 34.3%, 36.1% in the past ve, and 40.1% in the

past two years. This is evidence of a long term trend of Australians turning to medium density homes over the

stand alone home.

Although the majority of households in Australia sll live in detached houses, a growing proporon of new

homes are medium density which is increasing its share of the housing stock. This trend has mainly occurred

in capital cies but also in selected regional areas. In the 2011 census there were 2.3 million medium density

dwellings, compared with 6.7 million detached houses. Capital cies have higher density levels with 30.0% of

dwellings being medium density, compared to 16.0% in regional areas.
