Perth, Western Australia, is a vibrant and sophisticated city, ranked as one of the top four "Most Liveable Cities" in the world according to The Economist, Intelligence Unit. With first-class services and facilities, Perth is a city of energy and affluence. Boasting a great natural environment and lifestyle, the standard of living in this beautiful place on the Indian Ocean Rim is among the highest in Australia. Further to this, recent findings from our FACTBase project uncovered that Perth has now emerged as Australia’s third centre of corporate control.
Over one billion people wake up every day at the same time as people and businesses in Perth which, when combined with our geographical location and proximity to other major cities in Asia, Africa and Europe, sees us uniquely positioned as Australia’s western gateway to the world. Capitalising on this fact, and possibly born out of the relative isolation of our city, Perth is home to some of the brightest and most innovative business and community leaders in the country.
The Committee for Perth sees many of these leaders come together to act in a coordinated and strategic way in order to build a dynamic future for our city. We are an influential member-based organisation that seeks to promote and enable change that drives the sustainable development of Perth as a metropolis of rich cultural diversity, economic prosperity and world-class amenities. We collaborate with business, government and community groups in order to make a real and enduring contribution to Perth and the metropolitan area.
The Committee for Perth, along with our members, are invested in the long-term future of our city. Our works aims to ensure that Perth’s future is planned and coordinated in a way that maximises the use of our geographical positioning, the business and intellectual resources available and the strength that our resource based economy provides. The result of this work will be a more cohesive, dynamic and attractive city.
