Office development will be permitted in the north eastern section of the Precinct, however, use of office buildings at street level should stimulate pedestrian interest and activity. Residential and visitor accommodation is also encouraged within the northern and eastern portions of the Precinct. Further development of this Precinct is to fully acknowledge and enhance the links between Perth Water, the foreshore and the city centre, thereby promoting the Precinct as one of central Perth’s major assets. Stirling and Supreme Court Gardens will remain the city centre’s major parks, catering for passive recreation, as well as activities such as concerts and displays. Stirling Gardens, Supreme Court Gardens, Government House Gardens, the site of the City of Perth No. 1 car park and Governor’s Avenue are to be better integrated, providing for a variety of activities and allowing pedestrian access to the Swan River.

  • PERTH APARTMENTS Residential Apartment Market Overview
    RESEARCH AUGUST 2010 PERTH APARTMENTS Residential Apartment Market Overview HIGHLIGHTS • The number of people living in apartments has increased over the past decade, with major influential factors being the convenience of a low maintenance home, close to workplaces and down-sizing. • Research has shown that the rates ($/sqm) achieved in the apartment market have ebbed and flowed with the recent economic activity. Rates have now stabilised at more realistic levels and confidence is returning to the market, reflected in the number of sales and the increase in average rates. • With demand for the Western Australia’s resources set to continue, population growth will be strong. The City of Perth has recorded the fastest growth rate in Australia with an increase of 12.8% over the previous year. • Many local government authorities are developing revitalisation frameworks to create mixed-use communities with linkages to the commercial and employment hub of the Perth CBD.

  • Precinct 6 Perth Water – Perth City Foreshore
    Precinct 6 Perth Water – Perth City Foreshore 1 Summary Perth Water – Perth City Foreshore The precinct is defined as the northern half of Perth Water between Point Lewis and the Causeway. The basin has an attractive wide form which tapers towards the Narrows and Heirisson Island. Historically, the foreshore has been dredged and infilled several times which has resulted in a topographically flat and linear foreshore. There is a limestone retaining wall along most of the foreshore which acts as a visual barrier and limits access to the water. However, one of the most dominant and restrictive land uses of the river foreshore is the Narrows interchange and Riverside Drive. These roads are extremely busy and act to serve both the city and the metropolitan area. The foreshore user is physically restricted to the narrow belt of grassed foreshore by the roads and visually these road systems are strongly linear and geometric in form. The Esplanade and Langley Park are open grassed areas which run parallel to the river. The geometric form of the green lawns is emphasised by the linear planting of exotic trees around the park boundaries. The dominant landscape features in this precinct are the high rise buildings which are orientated parallel to the river in an east-west direction. The buildings provide a strong vertical element to a basically flat topography of the city area. Kings Park originally would have been the most vertically dominant element, however, the escarpment is visually diminished due to the city skyscape and the loss of prominence due to the infilling of Mounts Bay and construction of the freeway interchange.
