Carramar's 2025 Top Agent Joins Noble Avenue Real Estate
Noble Avenue Real Estate has welcomed Carramar real estate agent Luisa Walker to its award-winning Perth northern suburbs team, bringing her established experience across Carramar, Mindarie and surrounding suburbs to the boutique agency. Luisa was named realestate.com.au's 2025 Top Agent for Carramar and has continued to receive industry recognition in 2026, including ranking #14 in Western Australia for REIWA Top Unassisted Salesperson by Listings Sold and #25 by Value Sold in May. Her move to Noble Avenue marks the next stage in an established real estate career, allowing Luisa to continue working with the homeowners and buyers who have helped build her reputation while creating the opportunity to grow her business and team within Noble Avenue. It's a privilege when clients trust me with one of their most significant assets. I treat every sale and purchase as seriously as if it were my own," Luisa said. "For me, it's never just about getting a property sold. It's about making sure my clients feel informed and supported throughout the process, while doing everything I can to negotiate the strongest possible outcome for them. An Established Carramar Real Estate Agent Carramar has been at the heart of Luisa's real estate career, where she has built a strong local presence, lasting relationships with homeowners and an in-depth understanding of the suburb and its property market. The Carramar property market has recorded significant growth over the past year. According to REIWA, the suburb's median house sale price is currently $1.1 million, based on sales for the 12 months to July 2026, representing 23.3% annual sales price growth. For sellers, however, those headline figures only tell part of the story. Block size, presentation, the individual pocket of Carramar and proximity to schools, parks and Carramar Golf Course can all influence buyer demand, value and how a property should be positioned when it comes to market. Luisa combines that local knowledge with more than 25 years of sales experience and specialist negotiation training, alongside a strong focus on strategic property marketing and clear communication. Every campaign is tailored to the individual home, the likely buyer and the market conditions at the time. Her results and local presence were recognised when she was named realestate.com.au's 2025 Top Agent for Carramar. Carramar is a suburb I know incredibly well, but more importantly, it's a community I've really grown to care about," Luisa said. "Every home and every seller is different. Understanding the little things that make a property and its location special - and then knowing how to communicate that to buyers - is a big part of how I approach each campaign. For homeowners considering selling, or simply wondering what their Carramar home may be worth, Luisa can provide an appraisal based on recent comparable sales, current buyer demand and the individual features of the property. Recent Carramar Sales by Luisa Local Real Estate Expertise in Mindarie Alongside Carramar, Luisa has established a strong presence in Mindarie, bringing local experience to one of Perth's most sought-after northern coastal suburbs. According to REIWA data for the 12 months to July 2026, Mindarie's median house sale price is currently $1.425 million, representing annual sales price growth of 16.8%. Mindarie presents a very different property and lifestyle proposition to Carramar. From homes close to Mindarie Marina and the coastline to established family properties throughout the suburb, understanding what local and relocating buyers value is an important part of positioning a home for sale. Luisa's experience in the area allows her to provide advice specific to each property, from preparation and presentation through to marketing strategy, buyer management and negotiation. For homeowners searching for a Mindarie real estate agent, Luisa continues to provide the personal service and local expertise she has become known for, now backed by the Noble Avenue team. Whether a homeowner is preparing to sell or simply wants to understand what their Mindarie property may be worth, Luisa can provide an appraisal informed by recent comparable sales, current market conditions and buyer activity. Recent Mindarie Sales by Luisa A Track Record Built on Results and Relationships For Luisa, strong results have always gone hand in hand with looking after the people behind each property. Her approach is grounded in clear communication, considered advice and taking the time to understand what matters to each client. It has helped her build long-standing relationships across Perth's northern suburbs, with many clients returning to work with her again or recommending her to family and friends. That consistency has also been recognised across the industry: 2026 - #14 in WA, REIWA Top Unassisted Salesperson by Listings Sold, May 2026 - #25 in WA, REIWA Top Unassisted Salesperson by Value Sold, May 2025 - realestate.com.au Top Agent, Carramar 2025 - REIWA.com 35+ Million Dollar Club 2024 - REIWA.com 16-20 Million Dollar Club 2023 - REIWA.com Nine Million Dollar Club 2022 - REIWA.com 10-15 Million Dollar Club While the recognition is something to be proud of, Luisa says the relationships built along the way remain the most meaningful measure of success. The results matter, but what means the most to me is when someone comes back to work with me again, or trusts me enough to recommend me to their family and friends," Luisa said. "Those relationships are what I'm most proud of. Why Luisa Walker Joined Noble Avenue The move to Noble Avenue marks the next stage in Luisa's business, giving her the opportunity to continue growing her presence across Perth's northern suburbs while building a team around the level of service her clients have come to expect. For her existing clients, the move doesn't change the qualities they already know her for - the same local knowledge, personal involvement, communication and focus on achieving a strong result. I've loved building my business and relationships across Carramar, Mindarie and the northern suburbs, and I reached a point where I wanted an environment that would allow me to take that next step," Luisa said. "Noble Avenue gives me the boutique, hands-on culture I was looking for, while also giving me the opportunity to grow a team around me. It feels like a very natural fit. Noble Avenue was named REIWA's #4 Top Small Office by Value in WA in 2025. Led by Director Linda Noble, the Hillarys agency has built its reputation across Perth's northern suburbs through a boutique, hands-on approach to real estate, with a focus on individual agent expertise, personalised service and considered property marketing. Linda said Luisa's established local presence, client-first approach and commitment to achieving strong results made her a natural fit for the agency. We're genuinely excited to welcome Luisa to Noble Avenue," Linda said. "She has built such a strong reputation in Carramar and Mindarie, but what stood out to us just as much as her results was the way she looks after her clients. She's experienced, driven and incredibly passionate about the communities she works in, and those values align so naturally with the way we do things at Noble Avenue. Linda said Luisa's arrival would also strengthen Noble Avenue's presence across Perth's northern corridor. Luisa already has deep roots in these areas, so this isn't about starting again, it's about giving her an environment where she can continue building on what she has already achieved," Linda said. "We're very proud to have her join the team and excited about what this next chapter will bring. Thinking of Selling in Carramar or Mindarie?

What Perth's Proposed Subdivision Changes Could Mean for Your Block, and Whether You Can Subdivide Now
In July 2026, WA's Planning and Lands Minister John Carey announced the biggest proposed overhaul of the Residential Design Codes (the R-Codes) since they were introduced roughly three decades ago. The headline figure: the government estimates more than 50,000 existing properties across metropolitan Perth could become newly eligible for subdivision if the changes go ahead. Here's what's actually being proposed, why our local area is squarely in the frame, what the realistic timeline looks like, and how to work out whether your own block would be affected. The rule that could be changing Most standard suburban blocks in Perth are coded R20. Right now, subdividing an R20 block requires two things: each new lot has to meet a minimum size, and the average size across the resulting lots has to reach 450sqm, which in practice means you generally need about 900sqm of land before subdivision is possible at all. The proposed change would make 700sqm R20 blocks eligible to subdivide That 200sqm difference matters here, since Carine and Karrinyup have already seen infill subdivisions on blocks in that size range, and it's the gap between a block being locked as a single dwelling forever and becoming a genuine two-lot opportunity. Why this matters locally R20 is the most common density code across metropolitan Perth, which is why the government's estimate runs into the tens of thousands of properties. But it's not evenly spread. The areas the government and industry bodies have flagged as most affected include the City of Stirling and City of Joondalup, alongside Wanneroo, Canning and Cockburn. That's directly relevant to the suburbs we work in every day. Karrinyup and Carine sit within the City of Stirling, while Hillarys, Kallaroo, Sorrento, Mullaloo, Ocean Reef, Currambine, Burns Beach, Iluka, Kinross and Duncraig all fall within the City of Joondalup. Both councils are named among the areas expected to see the most impact if these changes proceed. Much of this footprint was built out through the coastal expansion of the 1980s and 1990s, when suburbs like Currambine, Kinross and Iluka were still being developed, and older pockets of Karrinyup, Carine and Duncraig were already established. That mix of build eras is part of why the proposed change matters here: standard blocks from that period are exactly the profile the reform targets. To be clear: this doesn't mean every property in these suburbs qualifies. Eligibility comes down to your specific block size, exact zoning, and whatever your local council's structure plan requires, not just the suburb you live in. If you're curious about your own property, your land size and R-code are available through your council's mapping portal or LandGate. The team at Noble Avenue Real Estate can also help you understand what this means for your block. What else is in the reform package Two other changes are bundled into the same reform: Simpler approvals for small projects. Things like single houses, renovations, patios and carports would no longer need planning approval at all, and standard single-house approval times would be cut from 60 days to 30. A restructured rulebook. The R-Codes would be split into three separate volumes (Single House, Grouped Dwelling, and Multiple Dwelling) to cut down on the cross-referencing that currently slows the system down. So, can you subdivide now? No. This is still a proposal, not law. Public consultation is expected to open later in 2026, and the government's own stated target for implementation is mid-2027. Consultation can and likely will reshape some of the detail before anything is finalised, and there's already public debate about the changes, including concerns raised by some in state parliament about tree canopy loss and liveability in suburbs that see rapid infill. So there's no reason to rush a decision based on this announcement alone. What it does mean is that if you own a block that sits between 700sqm and 900sqm on R20-zoned land, it's worth keeping an eye on how the consultation process unfolds over the coming months, since it could genuinely change what your property is capable of. What to do in the meantime If you're weighing up your options, whether that's holding, selling, or exploring development potential down the track, understanding where your property actually sits against these proposed thresholds is a useful starting point. Reach out to our team at Noble Avenue Real Estate if you'd like a read on how your specific property and suburb fit into this picture as more detail becomes available. Common questions about the proposed changes Can I subdivide my block right now under these new rules? No. As of mid-2026, this is still a proposal. Nothing has changed yet. Public consultation is expected to open later in 2026, with the government targeting implementation from mid-2027, and the rules could still change during that process. The current 900sqm effective requirement for R20 blocks still applies today. How do I find out my block's size and zoning? Your land size and R-code are available through your local council's mapping portal or through LandGate. Both are free to search using your property address. What does R20 actually mean? It's a density code, shorthand for roughly 20 dwellings per hectare. It's the standard code applied to most typical suburban streets across Perth, including much of our local area. How big does my block need to be to subdivide, and how is that changing? Under the current rules, R20 blocks generally need close to 900sqm of land, because subdivision requires meeting both a minimum lot size and a 450sqm average across the new lots. The proposed change removes the average requirement, which would drop the practical threshold to 700sqm for blocks that meet the minimum lot size. Is my suburb likely to be affected? The local government areas flagged as most affected include the City of Stirling and City of Joondalup, along with Wanneroo, Canning and Cockburn. That covers our full service area: Karrinyup and Carine (City of Stirling), and Hillarys, Kallaroo, Sorrento, Mullaloo, Ocean Reef, Currambine, Burns Beach, Iluka, Kinross and Duncraig (City of Joondalup). Being in one of these areas doesn't guarantee your specific block qualifies, since that depends on your exact land size, zoning, and council requirements. Will this increase my property's value? It's genuinely too early to say with certainty. Development potential is one factor that can influence value, but nothing is confirmed, and the detail could change through consultation. Any claims about guaranteed value increases at this stage should be treated with caution. When will I actually know if my block qualifies? Once public consultation opens later in 2026, more detail will become available on exactly how the new rules would apply. Implementation isn't expected before mid-2027 at the earliest. This article reflects the proposed reforms as announced in July 2026. Details are subject to change through the public consultation process, and nothing in this article should be taken as confirmation that any specific property is or will be eligible for subdivision....

Carramar's 2025 Top Agent Joins Noble Avenue Real Estate
Noble Avenue Real Estate has welcomed Carramar real estate agent Luisa Walker to its award-winning Perth northern suburbs team, bringing her established experience across Carramar, Mindarie and surrounding suburbs to the boutique agency. Luisa was named realestate.com.au's 2025 Top Agent for Carramar and has continued to receive industry recognition in 2026, including ranking #14 in Western Australia for REIWA Top Unassisted Salesperson by Listings Sold and #25 by Value Sold in May. Her move to Noble Avenue marks the next stage in an established real estate career, allowing Luisa to continue working with the homeowners and buyers who have helped build her reputation while creating the opportunity to grow her business and team within Noble Avenue. It's a privilege when clients trust me with one of their most significant assets. I treat every sale and purchase as seriously as if it were my own," Luisa said. "For me, it's never just about getting a property sold. It's about making sure my clients feel informed and supported throughout the process, while doing everything I can to negotiate the strongest possible outcome for them. An Established Carramar Real Estate Agent Carramar has been at the heart of Luisa's real estate career, where she has built a strong local presence, lasting relationships with homeowners and an in-depth understanding of the suburb and its property market. The Carramar property market has recorded significant growth over the past year. According to REIWA, the suburb's median house sale price is currently $1.1 million, based on sales for the 12 months to July 2026, representing 23.3% annual sales price growth. For sellers, however, those headline figures only tell part of the story. Block size, presentation, the individual pocket of Carramar and proximity to schools, parks and Carramar Golf Course can all influence buyer demand, value and how a property should be positioned when it comes to market. Luisa combines that local knowledge with more than 25 years of sales experience and specialist negotiation training, alongside a strong focus on strategic property marketing and clear communication. Every campaign is tailored to the individual home, the likely buyer and the market conditions at the time. Her results and local presence were recognised when she was named realestate.com.au's 2025 Top Agent for Carramar. Carramar is a suburb I know incredibly well, but more importantly, it's a community I've really grown to care about," Luisa said. "Every home and every seller is different. Understanding the little things that make a property and its location special - and then knowing how to communicate that to buyers - is a big part of how I approach each campaign. For homeowners considering selling, or simply wondering what their Carramar home may be worth, Luisa can provide an appraisal based on recent comparable sales, current buyer demand and the individual features of the property. Recent Carramar Sales by Luisa Local Real Estate Expertise in Mindarie Alongside Carramar, Luisa has established a strong presence in Mindarie, bringing local experience to one of Perth's most sought-after northern coastal suburbs.

What Perth's Proposed Subdivision Changes Could Mean for Your Block, and Whether You Can Subdivide Now
In July 2026, WA's Planning and Lands Minister John Carey announced the biggest proposed overhaul of the Residential Design Codes (the R-Codes) since they were introduced roughly three decades ago. The headline figure: the government estimates more than 50,000 existing properties across metropolitan Perth could become newly eligible for subdivision if the changes go ahead. Here's what's actually being proposed, why our local area is squarely in the frame, what the realistic timeline looks like, and how to work out whether your own block would be affected. The rule that could be changing Most standard suburban blocks in Perth are coded R20. Right now, subdividing an R20 block requires two things: each new lot has to meet a minimum size, and the average size across the resulting lots has to reach 450sqm, which in practice means you generally need about 900sqm of land before subdivision is possible at all. The proposed change would make 700sqm R20 blocks eligible to subdivide That 200sqm difference matters here, since Carine and Karrinyup have already seen infill subdivisions on blocks in that size range, and it's the gap between a block being locked as a single dwelling forever and becoming a genuine two-lot opportunity. Why this matters locally R20 is the most common density code across metropolitan Perth, which is why the government's estimate runs into the tens of thousands of properties. But it's not evenly spread. The areas the government and industry bodies have flagged as most affected include the City of Stirling and City of Joondalup, alongside Wanneroo, Canning and Cockburn. That's directly relevant to the suburbs we work in every day. Karrinyup and Carine sit within the City of Stirling, while Hillarys, Kallaroo, Sorrento, Mullaloo, Ocean Reef, Currambine, Burns Beach, Iluka, Kinross and Duncraig all fall within the City of Joondalup. Both councils are named among the areas expected to see the most impact if these changes proceed. Much of this footprint was built out through the coastal expansion of the 1980s and 1990s, when suburbs like Currambine, Kinross and Iluka were still being developed, and older pockets of Karrinyup, Carine and Duncraig were already established. That mix of build eras is part of why the proposed change matters here: standard blocks from that period are exactly the profile the reform targets. To be clear: this doesn't mean every property in these suburbs qualifies. Eligibility comes down to your specific block size, exact zoning, and whatever your local council's structure plan requires, not just the suburb you live in. If you're curious about your own property, your land size and R-code are available through your council's mapping portal or LandGate. The team at Noble Avenue Real Estate can also help you understand what this means for your block. What else is in the reform package Two other changes are bundled into the same reform: Simpler approvals for small projects. Things like single houses, renovations, patios and carports would no longer need planning approval at all, and standard single-house approval times would be cut from 60 days to 30. A restructured rulebook. The R-Codes would be split into three separate volumes (Single House, Grouped Dwelling, and Multiple Dwelling) to cut down on the cross-referencing that currently slows the system down. So, can you subdivide now? No. This is still a proposal, not law. Public consultation is expected to open later in 2026, and the government's own stated target for implementation is mid-2027. Consultation can and likely will reshape some of the detail before anything is finalised, and there's already public debate about the changes, including concerns raised by some in state parliament about tree canopy loss and liveability in suburbs that see rapid infill. So there's no reason to rush a decision based on this announcement alone. What it does mean is that if you own a block that sits between 700sqm and 900sqm on R20-zoned land, it's worth keeping an eye on how the consultation process unfolds over the coming months, since it could genuinely change what your property is capable of. What to do in the meantime If you're weighing up your options, whether that's holding, selling, or exploring development potential down the track, understanding where your property actually sits against these proposed thresholds is a useful starting point. Reach out to our team at Noble Avenue Real Estate if you'd like a read on how your specific property and suburb fit into this picture as more detail becomes available. Common questions about the proposed changes Can I subdivide my block right now under these new rules? No. As of mid-2026, this is still a proposal. Nothing has changed yet. Public consultation is expected to open later in 2026, with the government targeting implementation from mid-2027, and the rules could still change during that process. The current 900sqm effective requirement for R20 blocks still applies today. How do I find out my block's size and zoning? Your land size and R-code are available through your local council's mapping portal or through LandGate. Both are free to search using your property address. What does R20 actually mean? It's a density code, shorthand for roughly 20 dwellings per hectare. It's the standard code applied to most typical suburban streets across Perth, including much of our local area. How big does my block need to be to subdivide, and how is that changing? Under the current rules, R20 blocks generally need close to 900sqm of land, because subdivision requires meeting both a minimum lot size and a 450sqm average across the new lots. The proposed change removes the average requirement, which would drop the practical threshold to 700sqm for blocks that meet the minimum lot size. Is my suburb likely to be affected? The local government areas flagged as most affected include the City of Stirling and City of Joondalup, along with Wanneroo, Canning and Cockburn. That covers our full service area: Karrinyup and Carine (City of Stirling), and Hillarys, Kallaroo, Sorrento, Mullaloo, Ocean Reef, Currambine, Burns Beach, Iluka, Kinross and Duncraig (City of Joondalup). Being in one of these areas doesn't guarantee your specific block qualifies, since that depends on your exact land size, zoning, and council requirements. Will this increase my property's value? It's genuinely too early to say with certainty. Development potential is one factor that can influence value, but nothing is confirmed, and the detail could change through consultation. Any claims about guaranteed value increases at this stage should be treated with caution. When will I actually know if my block qualifies? Once public consultation opens later in 2026, more detail will become available on exactly how the new rules would apply. Implementation isn't expected before mid-2027 at the earliest. This article reflects the proposed reforms as announced in July 2026. Details are subject to change through the public consultation process, and nothing in this article should be taken as confirmation that any specific property is or will be eligible for subdivision....
