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.

STRATEGIC CONTEXT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY Wanju (Welcome) The City of Perth respectfully acknowledges the Whadjuk Nyoongar people, Traditional Owners of the lands and waters where Perth city is today and pays respects to Elders past, present and future. The rich and enduring culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples is entwined in a deep connection to boodjar (country/place) and to their social identity as living communities. This is a significant historic and vibrant living context that must be acknowledged for cultural development to happen in Perth. The City of Perth is deeply committed to building and maintaining respectful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and it is in this spirit that we deliver the City of Perth Cultural Development Plan. WANJU 01 Introduction and strategic context 4 A GLOBAL CITY Perth is a multi-cultural city with a diverse population. In 2016, 54.7 per cent of Perth city residents were born overseas (from 78 countries). 38.6 per cent of Perth city residents spoke a language other than English (at home).

  • 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.

  • The Productivity Commissioners PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION
    Mr John Shawcross 92 Macrae Street Applecross WA 6160 July 20th 2005 The Productivity Commissioners PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION INQUIRY INTO HISTORIC HERITAGE Thank you for the opportunity to make a submission to this inquiry. I make my submission as a private citizen. While it is difficult to prove with hard facts, I have no doubt that where we choose to conserve our historic heritage, the economic, environmental and social benefits far outweigh the costs. Conversely, the lack of care of Australia's historic heritage over the last 40 years has had a disastrous effect on the environment of our central cities, towns and suburbs. Demolition of historic buildings and streetscapes which gave our cities and towns a high level of amenity has been driven by a taste for the ‘shiny and new’, and a belief that new buildings were automatically cheaper, more profitable and more efficient. In so many cases however, the demolished structures have been replaced by low- quality modern buildings that are ugly, poorly designed, inhospitable to pedestrians and ‘city life’ generally, and of poor durability. Short-term and unimaginative thinking has dominated the investment decisions that have driven this kind of development. It has diminished the environment of Australia's cities and towns, and it has also undermined the long term social and economic attractiveness of many areas for investment, business-migration and people. Some may say that this is unimportant, because in reality investment has simply moved elsewhere in the Australian marketplace. Instead of high quality main streets we have high levels of investment in amortizable office space, suburban shopping malls, suburban cinemas, entertainment megaplexes (casinos, convention centres, stadiums, etc), chain stores and so on.
