Today, we've got Jay Sidhu, a subdivision and development expert from Vision Surveys Consulting on the show to dive deep into ‘Is Perth Property Development Dead?’ 

It's a very valid question to ask. There's a lot of changes to the medium density R-codes, changes to the public open space requirements, changes to Aboriginal heritage act and they are all going to make property development harder in the shorter term. 

With all these policy changes getting thrown into the development space along with all the recent increases in the building costs and the timeframes, I wanted to find out what Jay's seeing and his take on these various things. 

Let's go inside.
