TDP Experience Perth - Tourism Western Australia

In 1994 and again in 2009 the WA Government and the City of Perth commissioned
world-renowned Danish architect Jan Gehl to undertake a study of pedestrian Perth
to provide recommendations to improve the public spaces and physical environment
of the city. This work has informed and continues to inform the public works
projects in the city and is assisting to transform Perth into a more people-friendly
destination.
The East Perth Redevelopment Authority (EPRA) is also investing a significant amount
of resources into ensuring public spaces are activated to enliven the public realm.
These efforts are helping capitalise on Perth’s wonderful climate, outdoor lifestyle
and friendly atmosphere - all known key attractors for visitors to Western Australia.
Other priorities for amenity improvement in the region include:
• Improving signage across the city to provide for ease of navigation and to
reflect a unified approach to visitor servicing;
• Improvements in coach access and parking in the city;
• The identification of a permanent site for the Perth Helipad within the Perth
environs;
• The development of jetty mooring facilities along the Swan River to help
facilitate a water taxi service and additional marine based activities;
• The facilitation of a formalised taxi rank in Northbridge to better cater for
demand during peak periods.
