We Advocate for
All Committee for Perth research is funded by members who invest in the communities in which they operate and are passionate about creating a brighter future for Perth.
Economic Prosperity
The Committee believes that to be a globally recognised city, Perth needs to secure a level of economic prosperity that thrives beyond the strengths or weaknesses of any particular sector.
Perth and Peel @ 3.5 million
The Committee since inception has been advocating for the development of a unified vision for Perth. A vision that government, business and the community can agree upon that captures the aspirations for Perth as a region of 3.5 million people.
Transport and Congestion
The Committee for Perth supports the development of a long-term integrated public transport network that includes all modes of transport, to ensure efficient movement throughout the region as well as to facilitate transit-oriented development.
Diversity
The Committee believes that our diverse community should be acknowledged and celebrated. Through our research on both gender and cultural diversity we brought a more detailed understanding about Perth’s diverse population base.
Vibrancy and Culture
The Committee believes that a vibrant arts and cultural scene is vital to Perth’s liveability. In 2008, we launched the Cultural Compact for WA:The 10 Year Challenge Phase 1 which challenges government, the arts sector and community to work together.
Reconciliation
The Committee believes that Perth should be the city in Australia that acknowledges, respects and celebrates its Indigenous Australian cultures.
Local Government Reform
The Committee believes that the current fragmented system of local government in the Perth metropolitan region is hindering the potential to achieve our vision for the future of Perth.
