Vision and strategy

Caring for our capital city, shaping its future.

This is a pivotal time for Perth / Boorloo. Our capital city centre is experiencing a rate of development and growth unseen for decades, creating new opportunities to enhance life within a progressive, nature-rich and globally admired city.

The pace of change also puts pressures on the liveability and sustainability of our City neighbourhoods. Already, almost 35,700 people call the City home, but we’re aiming for more than 55,000 residents by 2036, and more than 90,000 by 2050.

This rapid increase needs to be carefully managed through a plan with a clear vision that facilitates sustainable growth. A plan with policy and investment settings that recognise our capital city role as the State’s economic, cultural and civic heart.

A plan about people and life in a vibrant and welcoming City

The City of Perth Capital City Plan: Towards 2036 and Beyond sets the long-term vision and direction for our capital city centre, the City of Perth.

Bringing the vision to life, the plan provides the strategic pillars that will guide future planning, investment and decision making to support a globally connected, inclusive and future focused capital city.
