Perth City Deal Program Background
Perth is currently in one of its largest infrastructure booms in development history. We are seeing an abundance of new destinations in and around the Greater CBD, such as Yagan Square, and Optus Stadium. To help provide alternative transport options and reduce car dependence around this great new infrastructure and within the inner city the Perth Greater CBD Transport Plan has been developed.
This plan includes a four-year program of prioritised initiatives and will outline a 10-year vision for future transport investment into the Perth CBD. These initiatives have been identified as key transport infrastructure, programs and services required to keep the Perth CBD moving as it grows, and will optimise the existing transport system. The plan has been developed by the Department of Transport and in close consultation between the City of Perth and Transport Portfolio partners, the Public Transport Authority and Main Roads Western Australia. Extensive consultation has been performed with residents, local businesses, industry bodies, health and educational establishments, local and State Government representatives, disability access and inclusion groups and the wider Perth community, to capture their transport vision for the city.
A number of high priority projects have been selected from this plan to form part of the historic Perth City Deal.
