This section sets out the key spatial proposals
of the Capital City Planning Framework. These
are the elements that set the overarching future
direction for the next generation of city building,
to contribute to the growing and changing
functions, activities and community in central
Perth. It presents central Perth’s evolution in a
longer-term vision.
These elements are derived from an application
of the underlying principles identified in Section 4
to the existing fabric of central Perth, outlined in
Section 2.
The propositions of the physical framework fall
into four main parts:
• Setting describes a proposal for the city’s
green infrastructure, including its parklands and
urban tree canopy, enhancing the contribution
to our social and economic wellbeing and
Perth’s sense of place.
• Activity and Built Form focuses on land use
in response to growth in population and the
activity, sustainability, and design quality within
the future of central Perth.
• Movement sets out the vision for the networks
for moving in and around central Perth.
• Spatial Form amalgamates elements from the
previous three sections to spatially envisage a
future form of central Perth.
As statements of the State Government’s
broad strategic directions for central Perth,
the propositions outlined are generally of a
higher order or conceptual nature. It is intended
that greater detail for these concepts will be
developed over time, in the context of continued
community dialogue and changing circumstances.
