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.

  • Site Tour - Perth City Link 7:30 Am to 9:30 Am Wednesday, 11 March 2015
    Site Tour - Perth City Link 7:30 am to 9:30 am Wednesday, 11 March 2015 6 CPD Points Register Perth City Link is a collaboration between the MRA, Public Transport Authority, City of Perth and the Australian Government and is one of the most significant transit oriented developments in Australia. The 13.5 hectare project will reconnect the CBD with Northbridge for the first time in more than 100 years and will dramatically change the face of the city and deliver improved access and connectivity, increased residential, retail and commercial opportun ities and high quality public spaces. The project involves sinking the Fremantle rail line from the Horseshoe Bridge to King/Lake Streets, undergrounding the Wellington Street Bus Station and creating five new pedestrian and vehicular connections. When com plete, Perth City Link will create 1,650 new apartments catering for a residential population of approximately 3,060 people, and the creation of 244,000 square metres of office/retail space providing opportunities for 13,500 new workers. Yagan Square will be Perth City Link’s crowning feature and is set to become one of Perth’s top public destinations. Set within the arms of the Horseshoe Bridge, Yagan Square will be a place for people to meet, connect, discover and celebrate Western Australia’s produce, he ritage and environment. As a major transport hub with links to the train station and new underground Wellington Street Bus Station, Yagan Square will be a collection of retail markets, cafes, restaurants, pop-up shops, kiosks, green spaces and play areas p roviding plenty of things to see and do.

    Welcome to the Icons of Influence trail When John Septimus Roe first laid out the city of Perth in 1829, he envisioned a powerful city at the centre of a strong, progressive economy. St Georges Terrace was the focus of this design, a broad avenue running parallel to the shores of the majestic Swan River. Pre-eminent early settlers built their residences along the Terrace and many significant civic buildings were also erected here. St Georges Terrace continues its central role as the city’s Icons of powerhouse today. Follow this trail to investigate the history of the city through its iconic places of influence. As you walk along the trail, keep your eyes out for Influence plaques placed in the pavement, in recognition of many people who have influenced the growth of Perth and Perth’s powerful people and Western Australia. places in history 1 Perth Town Hall Corner Hay and Barrack Streets This self-guided trail will take up to two hours.
