CityVision and the Perth Waterfront

What drives the CityVision plan?
Three key things drive this plan:
– the long-held desire to bring the city and the river together: a good city kisses its river;
– the desire to create an attractive and accessible place on the waters’ edge; and
– the desire to optimize the wonderful setting provided by the river front, nestling at the
foot of Mount Eliza, at the doorstep of the City.
Integrated, not competing: grand, not grandiose
The foreshore development should be a natural extension of the city centre, not an inwardlooking competitor to it. The notion of a critical mass of development at the waterfront is a myth. The waterfront will benefit from office development and apartments in close proximity, but not above.
The waterfront is a great place for a hotel and serviced apartments, great civic buildings like museums or opera houses, and of course, all the things that attract people and make for enjoyment, but major office and apartment buildings will just create congestion without
adding to the buzz of the place.
