In this episode, I sit down with Michael McGowan to unpack the role government policy plays in shaping the WA property market. From planning reform to housing supply and affordability, we explore how decisions made at a policy level flow directly through to property prices, development feasibility, and investor outcomes.
Michael shares his perspective on the challenges facing Western Australia—from balancing growth with infrastructure, to managing community expectations, to unlocking new housing supply. We also discuss the complexities of government intervention, the trade-offs involved in reform, and what needs to happen to create a more efficient and sustainable housing system.
If you’re a property investor trying to understand how policy impacts the market—and where opportunities and risks may emerge—this episode is essential listening.
