The Committee for Perth aims to lead debate, advise and be a catalyst for change in all areas affecting the development of Perth. We are committed to putting our attention into finding solutions rather than focusing on problems, and research plays a critical part in developing informed and relevant solutions.
Annually we invested nearly a third of our total operating budget into research which is what allows us to take a fact based approach when developing our positions on critical issues for Perth.
In addition to long-term research projects such as FACTBase and The Western Edge, we also commission regular independent research projects on specific issues.
