they are some pretty nice burbs. whats the deal with all those stair cases up to those blocks in the 2nd last photo.
Suburbia (fast broadband only)
I was in Perth in Decemember and took some photos of the northern coastal suburbs. It is the ultimate example of urban spraw, and every time I go there it keeps on expanding.

Brilliant photography. Really gives the feel of the suburbs well. Thankyou for posting such excellent shots.
That suburb isn't that bad, the developer actually bother including access laneways to reduce the number of houses that have the garage on the main frontage.

Near the bottom in the newish area your shots are taken from up high. Is that from a towaer and where the hell is that tower? I can't find it in the 2001 UBD Perth Street Directory or on street-directory.com.au. What's the name of the new estate with all the straight roads and access laneways behind houses?
BEAUTIFUL!!! I found it, most of the new and deveoping shots are in Butler am I right?

^ i did, it just shows a red cross for me .. and yeh i know that, but u have no idea of the scale of ellenbrook, its so huge it has to make its own little mini-suburbs, i go there every now and then to visit mom, and i never have a clue which part she's in, f u have a recent ( it's been developing since at least 2000 now, and it still is expanding so not even the most current street directory can show u ) street directory and check it ..

AH, good old WA. Raising the bar in Australian Urban Planning.
It's great how they implemented some of the New Urbanist Principles. Eg. rear access, provision for studios/granny flats (apparently referred to as Fonzie Flats by Joondalup Council Planners). But IMO, these suburbs still aren't packing in enough. They're all still single storey detached dwellings! Make 'em two storey, then we could halve the block size.

While sprawling and not very dense, those suburbs look fairly new and upscale. Am I right? About how much would ya'll say those homes cost? All in all, they aren't that bad looking, remind me of California, and I would live in one of those homes on the ocean in a heartbeat!
