  • MISSINGPIECES New Museum WA Completed: by 2020 Asset: Museum and Cultural Space Capacity: 23,000M² Investment: $430 Million (Public)
    MISSING PIECES The Perth Cable Car APRIL 2016 Perth Cable Car Artist Impression – Commissioned by Tourism Council WA DESTINATION PERTH Developing Perth’s Visitor Economy DESTINATION PERTH Perth is in the midst of a once in a generation investment in public and private tourism assets. This investment will transform the city into a global destination and gateway to Western Australia. Piece by piece this investment boom is removing the constraints on tourism growth. From hotel rooms to stadium seats, Perth is undergoing a major upgrade in capacity and building world-class venues, precincts and facilities. KEY PIECES The key new pieces of Destination Perth are: • Perth Arena • New Museum WA • Elizabeth Quay & Major Precincts • Perth Stadium • Crown Perth • Bars & Restaurants • New Hotels • Perth Airport • Natural Assets While each tourism asset brings new capacity to Perth, it is the combined synergy of these assets that will make Perth a global tourism destination. As these new pieces fall into place, Perth’s transformation into a global destination accelerates. MISSING PIECES The multi-billion dollar investment underway in tourism infrastructure is building capacity for increased tourism. However, to realise this tourism growth, Perth must also invest in the smaller projects that will attract visitors and drive demand for the new restaurants, hotels, venues and precincts. New demand drivers are the missing pieces needed to complete Destination Perth. The three missing pieces are: • The Perth Cable Car – to create a signature experience; • Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre Expansion – to increase business events and delegates; • Branding, Marketing and Events – to fill the restaurants, hotels, venues and precincts.

    1 A new Sydney style is evolving from recent sculptural buildings With the increasing globalisation of world cities comes a need to ensure each individual city retains its own character. Cities must be both Global and Local. Sydney has a very special natural environment with its flowing bays around the harbour, sweeping beaches, billowing sails and winding river valleys. But the historic European layout of Sydney is defined by a rectangular grid which is not really the character of the natural environment. A number of recent buildings however are reflecting the curvilinear spirit of Sydney and these are beginning to define a new ‘Sydney Style’. City Planning has often been a debate between the order of the city as a whole and the flair and excitement that a special building can deliver. Italian architect Aldo Rossi wrote about the city as a backdrop of ordered buildings offset by special one–off cultural buildings. In the Sydney context our Opera House sums up Rossi’s approach where the cultural building accessible to all becomes a free form expression of its own use and setting. But apart from the Sydney Opera House, and some of Harry Seidler’s early towers, the urban architecture of Sydney has followed the rules and is neatly lined up with the street edges. It is only in recent years that the development industry has challenged this planning orthodoxy to propose new architectural forms that create a counterpoint to the unity of the city. A NEW SYDNEY TREND TO SCULPTURAL BUILDINGS The Urban Taskforce is keen to This issue of Urban Ideas explores these issues and presents a recent and current trend have responses to the proposals towards free form sculptural buildings that challenge the existing linear grids of the city.
