FuturePerth

The FuturePerth committee congratulates our vice chair John van Bockxmeer for taking out the Western Australian Young Volunteer of the Year Award!

FuturePerth has endorsed the proposed major shake-up of local governments in the metropolitan area. We have also recommended an even larger City of Perth than that proposed by the review panel, to ensure that all major inner-city institutions and their surrounds fall under the control of the capital city authority. FuturePerth has also maintained support for the Development Assessment Panel system.

The State Election is only 9 sleeps away and it’s time for you to consider your voting choices. While FuturePerth would never tell you how to vote, we couldn’t miss an opportunity to keep you informed on what each party is promising. FuturePerth has been contacting Ministers and Shadow Ministers, as well as the Greens, to get their commitments on major urban issues down in writing. We understand you are all busy beavers and don’t have time to trawl through old newspapers and party websites – so we did all the hard work for you! The result is our 2013 State Election Guide.

We have submitted our views on the the City of Perth’s proposed Scheme Amendment No. 26 (Built Form Controls). Please visit our Articles section to learn more.

Happy new year! We recently commented on the guidelines for an in-principle Development Application for seven buildings within the Perth City Link project area. Please visit our Articles section to learn more.
