Introduction THE INVENTORY The Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (the MRA) is responsible for the urban renewal of the Central Perth Redevelopment Area (the Redevelopment Area) and proposes to recognise and afford protective measures to those places that have cultural heritage significance. The Central Perth Redevelopment Scheme (the Scheme) empowers the MRA to compile and maintain a list of Heritage Places and Precincts, called a Heritage Inventory (HI). The Central Perth HI has been developed in accordance with the provisions of the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990, which requires all Local Governments to compile an inventory of heritage places as the foundation of sound local heritage planning. As MRA assumes responsibility as the planning authority within the Redevelopment Area, the MRA is acknowledging its role and responsibilities in “recognising, promoting and protecting” the cultural heritage that falls under its jurisdiction, as articulated in the State Cultural Heritage Policy.

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Wednesday, 14 October 2015] p7330a-7330a Ms Eleni Evangel; Mr John Day PERTH CITY LINK — YAGAN SQUARE 831. Ms E. EVANGEL to the Minister for Planning: I understand that plans for Yagan Square at Perth City Link are progressing well. Could the minister please provide the house with an update on this exciting city project? Ms M.M. Quirk interjected. The SPEAKER: Member for Girrawheen, I call you to order for the first time. Mr J.H.D. DAY replied: Yagan Square will be a very interesting, active and exciting destination within the Perth CBD as part of the Perth City Link project, of course. One particular aspect is a market hall to be contained within Yagan Square, and I am very pleased to advise today that an expression-of-interest request has been released by the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority seeking potential business operators interested in opening food and beverage tenancies within Yagan Square. This will be situated within the arms of the Horseshoe Bridge, as part of what will be Perth City Link’s flagship public space. The central feature of Yagan Square, as I said, will be a large market hall that will have a focus on selling and promoting Western Australian produce. The public space will also include cafes, bars, restaurants, event and performance spaces, and landscaped areas for relaxation, children’s play and public art. The EOI request that has been put out calls for the leasing of 25 tenancies within the square, and they will include tenancies within the market hall, some within the plaza of Yagan Square and in the new public meeting place that will be created on the rooftop of the market hall and rail tunnel.

It will provide for a metropolitan and state wide market as well as for the convenience of the city’s residents, as well as the city centre work force. The Precinct will offer a wide range of general and specialised retail uses as well as a mix of other uses such as residential and visitor accommodation, entertainment, commercial, medical, service industry and office. Uses at street and pedestrian level will mainly be shops, restaurants (including cafes), taverns and other uses, that have attractive shop fronts and provide activity, interest and direct customer service. Other uses will be established above or below street level and major pedestrian levels. The area centred on Hay and Murray Street Malls, between William and Barrack Streets, will remain the retail focus, however, retailing and similar uses will be encouraged to expand throughout this Precinct, particularly along Hay and Murray Streets. Better integration of the retail core to the east and west will be sought on Hay and Murray Streets, to the north on William and Barrack Streets, and within the railway station concourse.
