The design guidance will include the city centre and also a series of key investment areas within the city, including: the university, harbour area, culture quarter and train station. The aspirations for the project are ambitious and will be critical to the future vitality of the city, ensuring Perth continues to be resilient and vibrant; building on the existing Perth City Plan by preparing guiding principles for “good growth” in a design and development guide for the city.
