Tall Buildings!

Is this true or a myth?
William Hames provides a review of density, height, plot ratios, occupancy densities all important statistics. But what is the “goldilocks” mixture of statistics that creates the vibrant

What are the options for realising a bright future?
Marion Fulker will share the research that underpins two scenarios for Perth growing to a region of 3.5 million people – Bright Future and Business as Usual.

Future Bayswater: Future Vision
What is wanted? A livable, vibrant and connected Town Centre.
Why? To become a "go-to" destination rather than a "go through" in desperation.
How to do this? By supporting a comprehensive Future Vision via an Activity Centre Plan.
Why Bayswater? It's a strategic inner urban hub that hasn't realised its full potential ... yet.
