Info

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. 16 Experience Perth Tourism Western Australia | Tourism Development Priorities
Strategic Priorities for the Perth Sub-Region The following priorities will assist in improving infrastructure and stimulating private investment in product development in the Experience Perth tourism region. It is important to remember that these priorities do not cover all areas of destination development, such as marketing and events. Tourism WA will monitor the progress of priorities and may assist in facilitation. 1) Facilitate the development of additional accommodation stock in precinct developments A major barrier to the ongoing growth of tourism in the state is the lack of suitable quality accommodation in the Perth region. Specifically, there is the need for additional international standard four to five star hotel development in the Perth CBD area, as well as additional self contained accommodation stock in areas outside of the Perth CBD. While a lack of available land in the region restricts the construction of additional accommodation, the development of precincts provides the opportunity for land to be set aside for tourism accommodation. This development of additional tourism accommodation in the region is seen as one of the top priorities for developing the tourism industry in Western Australia. Key projects include: Priority Project Key agencies Timeframe Very High Facilitate the development of tourism accommodation stock as part of the Perth Waterfront development Department of Planning 1-5 years Very High Facilitate the development of tourism accommodation stock as part of the Northbridge Link development EPRA 1-5 years High Facilitate the development of tourism accommodation stock as part of the Burswood Peninsula development (including Belmont Racecourse) Department of Planning 1-5 years High Facilitate the development of tourism accommodation stock as part of the Riverside development in East Perth EPRA 1-5 years High Facilitate the development of tourism accommodation stock as part of the China Green development in Subiaco Subiaco Redevelopment Authority 1-5 years Experience Perth Tourism Western Australia | Tourism Development Priorities 17
