Have your say about the future of Perth’s Riverfront

The Debarl Yerrigan/Swan River is the jewel in Perth’s crown. It connects us to nature and provides a spectacular backdrop for our world-class, modern City.

But we believe it has so much untapped potential.

With major projects such as the Aboriginal Cultural Centre and the redevelopment of the Perth Exhibition and Convention Centre on the horizon, now is the time to start a conversation about how we can create a revitalised city park that sets a new standard, blending nature, biodiversity and culture.

We’ve developed a Riverfront Masterplan to bring to life the riverfront’s potential as a world-class destination and we want you to be involved.

Informed by a series of technical studies and extensive early community and stakeholder engagement, the Masterplan presents a re-imagined riverfront that connects the city to the river and transforms it into a thriving river park, seamlessly merging culture, nature, play and leisure.

Now is your chance to let us know if we got it right. Have your say on the future of our riverfront by completing our online survey here.

Before you do, we recommend you take time to check out our Riverfront Masterplan, the factsheets, the FAQs and all the other information you will find on this page, so that you are as well informed as you can be about the opportunities and constraints that have contributed to the design.

The survey is open for six-weeks from 24 March.

Once the community and other stakeholders have provided feedback on the Masterplan, all submissions will be collated and shared with the Masterplan designers. Community and stakeholder feedback, together with a final Masterplan that has been informed by the consultation process, will be presented to Council for its consideration.

Masterplan Vision

“The Masterplan for the Perth City Riverfront provides a framework for re-connecting people and the city with the river. It will be an active and attractive river park destination for everyone. Infused with nature, biodiversity and culture it will be a world class city park, a key part of Swan River landscape experience.”
