C2030 Perth - Infrastructure planning & process

John Langoulant from Australian Capital Equity presented a session on Infrastructure & the planning process at C2030 Perth. Some of his points included –
  • All about process
  • Process in development in Western Australia is poor
  • Like to see long term plans
  • Will be a leading economy
  • Perth sits on the Indian Ocean Rim
  • Perth should be a centre for the provision of health services, research and tourism
  • There are too many vested interests
  • Perth could be home to the performing arts and have multiple cultural precincts
  • Maximise access, reduce regulation
  • Build a world class modern stadium
  • There are issues with planning & politicians
  • Perth needs adaquate infrastructure to sustain the population on the future
  • There needs to be active planning and provisioning of infrastructure, most importantly, active government engagement
  • Rather than rush projects through without enough capital, wait until they can be funded properly i.e. Bell Tower & Convention Centre
  • Government needs to get better at recognising infrastructure needs
  • Need to encourage an art culture incubator
  • Planning has failed – no great strategy
  • Government never had a direction
  • There are over 600 submissions to the federal government for projects across the country
  • Need a better process for getting projects onto that long list
  • Too many cost blowouts on projects
  • Planning for a new sports stadium has been a failure
  • People should come first
  • Need good planning process

C2030 Perth - The future of Perth city

Professor Richard Weller presented a fascinating topic on what the future holds for Perth at the C2030 Perth summit. Some of the major topic points included –

  • Perth is currently network centric
  • By 2050 Perth will have doubled in size, the magnetism if the CBD will have given way to multiple nodes and the city will be polycentric
  • The city will be far from self sufficient
  • The population will have expanded from 1.6 million to between 3 and 4.2 million
  • 1.1   million new homes or 1.4 million new apartments will have been built
  • 85% of all new development will be urban sprawl
  • Suburbs are not necessarily a negative and will still be good places to live in though expect the size of the backyard to keep decreasing as it is used less & less
  • Massive amounts of land are still available, at least 118,000 hectares inland
  • Already, Perth is the biggest sprawled city on the planet
  • Spread out cities are not the optimal configuration. Density & size brings the benefit of inverse power requirement ratios
  • If everyone on the planet were to live like we do in Perth, we’d need 5 planets the size of Earth
