Precincts PRECINCTS BURSWOOD PENINSULA LATHLAIN BURSWOOD SOUTH VICTORIA PARK CARLISLE WELSHPOOL CURTIN UNIVERSITY & BENTLEY EAST VIC PARK ST JAMES SWAN RIVER INVEST VIC PARK INVEST IN THE PROGRESS ANTHONY VULETA - CEO CEO Foreword The Town of Victoria Park is an inner-city community located just 10 minutes from Perth’s CBD, across the Causeway on the south side of the Swan River. The Town is centred around the vibrant and bustling Albany Highway, famed for its culinary smorgasbord, buzzing café strip and unique retails stores, and includes the Burswood Peninsula which is home to Crown Perth, Optus Stadium and Perth Racing. “The Town promotes a dynamic place for everyone and our mission is to foster a creative, attractive, friendly, environmentally sustainable and inclusive place to visit, eat, shop, work, play, learn and live” CEO Anthony Vuleta said. “We are committed to activating our spaces and supporting local businesses as we continue to build a destination brand for all things to see and do in Vic Park.” In recent years there has been a transformation from being traditionally seen as a diverse working class suburb of Perth, into an increasingly sought after destination for residential, commercial and leisure pursuits with a thriving café culture and increasing investment in mixed-use developments. “We have a progressive view on growth and a strong resolve to ensure Vic Park continues to grow as a premier place for entertainment and entrepreneurship,” Anthony Vuleta said. “There are a multitude of offerings that attracts residents and visitors including our proximity to the CBD, the Swan River foreshore and access to the entertainment precinct of Burswood, as well as significant public transport and education facilities with the Causeway bus interchange, Armadale train line and Curtin University. “Ultimately we aim to be leaders in all that we do and strive to support Vic Park... the place, its people and our partnerships”. 3 OUR VISION The Town of Victoria Park strives to create a dynamic place for everyone.

The Town is highly competitive in the tourism space, with a number of regionally significant offerings, including Crown Perth, Optus Stadium, the Camfield, the Albany Highway precincts, Matagarup Bridge and future residential and commercial development at Belmont Park. In its first year of operation, Optus Stadium hosted a total attendance of more than two million people, with events ranging from AFL and cricket through to concerts by some of the world’s biggest performers. Matagarup Bridge not only provides pedestrian access between Burswood and East Perth, but is also providing further unique tourism experiences such as bridge climbs and ziplining. The Burswood Peninsula, including surrounding Burswood Park, will only continue to grow in popularity, providing opportunities for events of both international and local appeal. KNOWLEDGE INDUSTRIES AND BIOPHARMACEUTICALS Identified as the driver of productivity and economic growth, knowledge-based industries are recognised as being the most dynamic in terms of output and employment growth as well as being considered the backbone of the ‘new economy’. Curtin University, South Metropolitan TAFE (Bentley and Carlisle campuses), as well as the Australian Resources and Research Centre are located in the Town. The 2013 Curtin Masterplan and 2018 Bentley-Curtin Specialised Activity Centre Structure Plan outline how Curtin University and Bentley Technology Park will develop into an “innovation city”, by co-locating residential development, student accommodation, research institutions and businesses. Driven by an ageing population, the health industry and high value medical capabilities are an important part of the new and emerging economy. Importantly a number of firms within the human biopharmaceuticals and medical product manufacturing sector are located within the Town, and Curtin University is the only Western Australian university that has a pharmacy program. RETAIL AND HOSPITALITY The boutique retail and hospitality businesses within the vibrant Albany Highway precincts, Crown Perth, Optus Stadium and the neighbouring Camfield is a core part of the Town’s economic future. The retail and hospitality sectors are crucial in supporting the Town’s unrivalled year-round calendar of events and festivals and play an integral role in supporting the tourism, sports and recreation sectors. The Albany Highway precincts are highly accessible with well-developed public transport, car parking, cycling and pedestrian options. Other emerging strips in the vibrant inner city neighbourhoods of Carlisle and Lathlain are offering opportunities for unique retailers, cafes and restaurants. 10 Burswood Peninsula OVERVIEW POPULATION (ERP, 2018): 1,296 MEDIAN AGE (2016): 38 MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME (2016): $2,261 per week TOP RESIDENT OCCUPATION (2016): Professionals MEDIAN HOUSE PRICE (2019): $820,000 CURRENT FLOORSPACE (2015): Approximately 194,700 m2 The Burswood Peninsula has the potential to become the single largest planning, investment and delivery partnership for Perth over the next KEY FEATURES decade.

Like most people since the 1960s I arrived by plane. Curtin University of Technology had made arrangements for me to stay at the Metro Hotel on Canning Highway—a rather invasive building in the International Style among predominantly federation style residential homes. I was driven down Great Eastern Highway, onto the bridge over the bottom end of Shepperton Road that leads into the Causeway across the Swan River, and then onto Canning Highway. I did not turn right and enter the city. Consequently I did not get to pass the Police Headquarters on the other side of the Causeway. A couple of days later, on a Saturday afternoon, I went to the jetty in South Perth and took a ferry into the city. While walking round the empty centre of Perth with its closed shops and lack of cafés I happened to jaywalk at some traffic lights. ‘Hey’, I heard a cry, ‘Hey, you!’ The young man who had crossed with me stopped and turned. I did also, feeling like the character in Louis Althusser’s description of interpellation.1 The policeman came running over. ‘What do you two think you were doing?’, he asked. An answer seemed redundant. The policeman then turned to my companion in transgression and asked what his name was, where he lived and if he ISSN 1837-8692 had been in trouble with the law before.
