Since ancient times it has been a source of food and water, a place of healing, ceremony and family time, and has been a vital connection between communities and settlements for commercial activity and exchange.

As a backdrop to this unique natural setting, Perth Water Buneenboro sits at the epicentre of an energetic, growing city, which has transformed over the last century of economic, commercial and population growth. As our capital city’s ‘front garden,’ this large, open body of water is encircled by a ribbon of green, punctuated by established riverside destinations – Barrack Square and Barrack Street Jetty, Coode Street and Mends Street. New places including Elizabeth Quay, Optus Stadium and Matagarup Bridge, and Point Fraser, along with a series of emerging activity nodes will develop over time through public and private sector investment.
6 7 INTRODUCTION Derbarl Yerrigan The Noongar are the traditional owners of south west Western Australia, with 14 language groups, each connected to different ecological areas. Whadjuk are the dialectical group for Perth, including Buneenboro – Perth Water1. The broader Swan and Canning Rivers and their tributaries are of great and enduring importance to Noongar people.
Derbarl Yerrigan, Derbarl meaning estuary, fresh or brackish water2 and Noongar see Derbarl Yerrigan as an interconnected landscape and unifier of life. Yerrigan meaning upper3, was created by the dreamtime spirit rainbow serpent It has no beginning or end and is a life source that brings together people and – the Wagyl – who emerged at Mt Eliza and created the river on its way to the animals, paths, trails, water and sky. ocean4.

Perth’s base camp was established on the Swan River’s northern banks, chosen for its proximity to water, river transport and views of Mount Eliza and the Darling Scarp – view lines that are still highly valued. Today, Perth Water Buneenboro frames and unifies the capital city, creating a memorable and iconic setting with its growing urban skyline. The Precinct Plan aims to develop and maintain strong physical and social connections between Perth Water Buneenboro and the CBD and create provisions for future uses that are commensurate with the role and function of a capital city. These include defining the framework for activity nodes and supporting uses both on and off water. The Precinct Plan seeks to enhance the core recreational and environmental values of Perth Water Buneenboro while also enabling environmentally sensitive and responsible growth and diversification of different uses. 10 Photo: Josh Spires, Unsplash 11 Part A – Development policy and requirements 12 Photo: Mark Thornley PART A – DEVELOPMENT POLICY AND REQUIREMENTS Precinct objectives 7KLVGUDIW3UHFLQFW3ODQKDVEHHQGHYHORSHGWRLPSURYHFRRUGLQDWLRQEHWZHHQJRYHUQPHQWDJHQFLHV responsible for the Precinct’s ongoing management.

Circulation and movement Facilitating strong connections to, around and across Perth Water Buneenboro brings significant opportunities and benefits for the community, environment and economy. Unifying foreshore destinations and improving key pedestrian and active transport facilities and connections will encourage people to make healthier travel choices, while establishing a suite of green linkages that connect surrounding communities will improve physical and mental health. Providing for the public transport system’s future expansion – ferry, bus and potentially light rail – and facilitating the introduction of a future commercial water taxi service will increase travel choice for all. Maintaining strategic view corridors to Mt Eliza, the City skyline, Optus Stadium and Parliament House is a key requirement when considering new or upgraded transport infrastructure.
