Progress Tracker: Seven
During 2019-20, the Committee for Perth is undertaking the Hashtag Perth project to reposition the region by enhancing its reputation as a place to live, work, visit, study and invest.
As an evidenced-based organisation, the first year of the project is research-intensive and will form the basis of the discussions, draft recommendations and ultimately the final report that will follow in year two.
This report analyses and presents the findings of the Committee for Perth’s Hashtag Perth project which commenced in 2019 following the Bigger and Better Beyond the Boom (B4) project. B4 had established that Perth is falling behind in the global race for city-competitiveness and identified a shared desire to diversify its economy, develop growing and innovative sectors and create distinguishable strengths. Forging a strong, positive, recognisable reputation was highlighted as an important part of this process.
FACTBase Bulletin 68 - Perth's Innovation Hotspots and Collaborations
This Bulletin focuses on understanding innovation and collaboration in Perth. It uses a frequently used proxy to measure innovation - patent applications - which were extracted from the OECD Regional Patent (REGPAT) statistics and provide a suitable indicator of overall innovative activity. This Bulletin is the seventh research input into Hashtag Perth.
FACTBase Bulletin 67 - Cost of Living in Greater Perth
This Bulletin is the sixth research input into the Hashtag Perth project. It aims to establish whether the cost of living in Greater Perth in 2019 is a comparative weakness or strength of the region as compared to other Australian cities.
