James Street Spring Closure

WHY A TRIAL?

WA Police will use the trial to assess whether a James Street road closure has a positive impact on community safety. The WA Police have requested the City of Perth assist with the closure trial.

EVENT DETAILS

On Friday and Saturday nights James Street will become a Pedestrian Mall between Lake and William Streets. All roads, driveways and laneways will be closed to traffic and will reopen the following morning.

Closures will come into effect from 4pm on the 28th October and 5pm on all other dates. Roads will reopen at 5am each morning of the trial.

The City of Perth will activate the space thanks to funding from the State Government CBD Revitalisation Grant Program.
