Introducton
Part of Bankwest’s Financial Indicator Series, the Bankwest Housing Density Report looks at
Australia’s housing density by examining trends in dwelling approvals, along with census data
on the housing stock by type of dwelling.

1. Natonal Medium Density Trends
• Australians are increasingly turning to medium density homes over the stand alone house. More than
two in fve (43.4%) home approvals are for medium density dwellings in the year to October 2013,
compared to only 33.1% fve years ago
• Capital cites account for 87.1% of medium density housing approvals in the year to October 2013,
well above the 71.7% in 2008
• The highest proporton 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 natonally (216 out of 330) have seen an increase in medium density
housing as a proporton of their total housing stock
Medium density housing increases across Australia
The proporton 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 proporton of medium density dwellings of total approvals has been
30.6%. However, over the past 10 years this fgure increases to 34.3%, 36.1% in the past fve, 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 stll live in detached houses, a growing proporton of new
homes are medium density which is increasing its share of the housing stock. This trend has mainly occurred
in capital cites 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 cites have higher density levels with 30.0% of
dwellings being medium density, compared to 16.0% in regional areas.

Medium density housing growth outstrips stand-alone homes
In the year to October 2013, across Australia there were 96,896 stand-alone houses approved, which is 6.5%
higher than the same point last year (90,971). However, this is 8.5% below the same point fve years ago
in 2008. Medium density housing approvals have increased at a much higher rate, increasing by 22.9% to
72,750 in the past 12 months, and growing by 45.9% in the past fve years from 49,870. The annual number
of medium density housing approvals over the past 12 months is now at the highest level on record.
NSW leads naton in medium density dwelling approvals
NSW has taken over Victoria with the largest absolute number of medium density approvals in the year to
October 2013, with 25,262, or 34.0% of the total. It is followed by Victoria with 22,390
(30.1% of the natonal total), and Queensland with 13,854 (18.6% of total).
The largest increase in medium density approvals is in ACT, which has grown by 82.7% in the past 12 months,
followed by Queensland (53.5%), South Australia (43.4%) and NSW (34.0%). Tasmania and Victoria are the
only states to have seen the number of medium density housing approvals drop, falling by 19.1% and 1.5%
respectvely.

There are three states which have had more medium density approvals than stand-alone homes. The highest
proporton of medium density approvals in the past year have been in the ACT (68.0%), followed by the
Northern Territory (67.2%) and NSW (56.4%). Tasmania (17.8%) and Western Australia (20.0%) have the lowest
proporton of medium density approvals.
Capital cites account for most medium density approvals
Capital cites have accounted for 87.1% of the total medium density approvals in the past 12 months with
regional areas making up 12.9%. In the 2011 census, capital cites accounted for 76.0% of all medium density
dwellings, which is slightly more than when the 2006 census (74.3%) was carried out.
The trend for increasing density in capital cites relatve to regional areas is most pronounced in the ACT,
South Australia and Victoria. Canberra accounted for all the territory’s medium density approvals in the past
12 months, Adelaide for 97.5% of those in South Australia and Melbourne accounted for 96.7% of those
in Victoria. Sydney (90.7%), Darwin (88.4%) and Perth (83.7%) also take the lion’s share of medium density
approvals for their respectve states.
Five capitals where medium density makes up most new dwelling approvals
In the year to October 2013 there were fve capital cites where half or more of all approvals were for medium
density dwellings. Of these, Sydney had the highest proporton (68.3%), followed by Canberra (68.0%), Darwin
(67.9%), Melbourne (54.6%) and Brisbane (53.4%). Only slightly more than one in fve approvals in Perth
(20.9%) and Hobart (22.5%) were for medium density dwellings.

cites have had larger proportons of medium density housing approvals relatve to the stock of medium density
dwellings.
In Darwin, housing density is increasing the most rapidly, with the proporton of medium density approvals
32.7 percentage points higher than the stock of medium density dwellings. This is followed by Canberra
(31.8 percentage points), Brisbane (26.7 percentage points) and Sydney (26.3 percentage points). Perth is

approvals compared to dwelling stock over the past two years
• In Sydney, 40.6% of dwellings are medium density (699,830 out of 1,723,029), the highest of any
capital city

Sydney has highest medium density dwelling stock
Close to one in three (31.0%) dwellings in NSW are units, townhouses or semi-detached propertes
(888,946 out of 2,871,551), the highest proporton in Australia. According to the 2011 census there were

3. Victorian Medium Density Trends
• Close to half (45.6%) of all new dwelling approvals in Victoria in the past 12 months have been for
medium density dwellings
• The number of medium density dwelling approvals over the past 12 months has remained high in
Victoria, with 22,390 approvals, only slightly behind the same point in 2012 (22,720)
• Some 70.8% of local areas in Victoria (46 out of 65) have had increasing shares of medium density
housing compared to dwelling stock
• In Melbourne, 28.8% of dwellings are medium density (465,848 out of 1,615,638), which is in line
with the capital city average (27.6%)
Proporton of medium density approvals approaches record high
The proporton of medium density housing approvals is close to record levels in Victoria, accountng for
45.6% of dwelling approvals in the past 12 months. This is up slightly compared to the same point in 2012
(44.0%), and up considerably on the same point fve years ago in 2008 (26.4%), or the average over the past
20 years (27.4%).
Victoria catching up to NSW
In terms of the proporton of medium density approvals Victoria stll lags NSW. However, with current
medium density approvals in Victoria are considerably higher than the long term average in Victoria
(45.6% vs. 27.4%), than in NSW (56.4% vs. 47.3%), suggestng that a more profound change in the make-up of
Victorian dwelling stock may be underway.
