Perth Waterfront will be an exciting destination that offers a range of activities to attract people of all ages, at all times of the year. The Master Plan depicts the major design elements and highlights how the new public spaces such as Station Park and the island will connect inside the development, with the adjacent city attractions and back to the CBD.
Approximately sixty per cent of the project area will be publicly accessible. There will be 1.5 hectares of promenade space linking a series of public parks and spaces around the new inlet to the 7,000m2 island - a more relaxed space with views back to the city.
The public’s use and enjoyment of the Esplanade Reserve has been a primary objective in the design of the public domain and the adjacent land use mix which will encourage visitation for leisure, shopping, entertainment and hospitality. All of the promenade and public domain will remain free and people friendly and will be complemented by new shops, restaurants and entertainment opportunities.
It is expected that some four million people will visit the precinct annually including workers, residents and tourists - Western Australians, or those from interstate or overseas. Major events in the space can be accommodated for up to 15,000 to 20,000 people in the combined public areas.
