Have your say about the future of Perth’s Riverfront

After several years of engagement, planning and design, the City of Perth published the DRAFT Riverfront Masterplan for community engagement on 24 March 2025.

The community were invited to participate in an online survey, open for six weeks from 24 March to 5 May 2025. As a project of state significance, the survey was open to all Western Australians. The survey received 1582 responses – the highest ever by a City of Perth project.

In a previous, 2020 online survey, the community identified 5 key themes for the future of the Riverfront:

  • A place for all
  • Connectivity
  • Activation
  • On water activities
  • Cultural heritage

The intent of the 2025 survey was to evaluate if and how the draft masterplan addresses these key themes. A majority (77%) of people agree or somewhat agree that the Masterplan addresses these themes and ranked them in order of priority. A detailed breakdown of all questions, answers, relevant comments and key insights are included in the DRAFT Riverfront Masterplan Engagement Report.

The Community were invited to provide input via several community drop-in sessions and a key stakeholders attended an interactive workshop. Written submissions were received from several state government agencies and private industry groups. Summaries of these inputs are included in the DRAFT Riverfront Masterplan Engagement Report.

This phase of community and stakeholder engagement for the DRAFT Riverfront Masterplan has now come to a close. The City will now consider next steps for the project in the context of major state government projects such as the Aboriginal Cultural Centre and Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre.

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.”
