Perth's riverfront masterplan a step closer to fruition

The City of Perth Council has unanimously decided to progress community consultation on Perth's Riverfront Masterplan, following the release of concept designs in mid-2024.

Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas said that the full potential of the site as a tourist attraction has not been fully realised. He added that the masterplan aimed to improve the appeal and liveability of the area through the introduction of cafes, restaurants, a lagoon, a public mooring and ferry jetty and a riverwalk.

"This masterplan is timely given the planning currently underway for the new Aboriginal Cultural Centre and improvements at Supreme Court Gardens, along with investigations into the potential redevelopment of the Tattersalls site at the eastern end of the project area," Zempilas said.

Perth's riverfront has been the subject of more than 200 masterplans since 1883, many of which did not progress further.

An extensive consultation period will commence shortly.

These realities have led to a marked decline in most tourism hot spots.
