The Perth Water Precinct is transforming with major projects underway, increasing visitor numbers and new river and land-based activities.

The Perth Water Precinct Plan is being prepared to set a framework for developments, uses and activities within and around Perth Water and will define landscape characteristics and environmental enhancements for a healthy river into the future.  

It will set a vision and an overarching framework to guide decision making, along with a five-year action plan to address key challenges and opportunities. We welcome your ideas and suggestions, which can be made until 5:00pm, Friday 31 August 2018.
