It is due to the handbrake design and is not dangerous or anything.Your dealer can adjust it, if it is excessive.
On the old shape Impreza there is an adjuster behind a rubber plug on the drum backplate which reduces the play,but its a bit fiddly to use.An arrow shows which way to turn the adjuster to reduce the play.
I imagine the new shape will be the same,if you want to have a go yourself
