Special Report : Visions for Perth

Perth's popuation is likely to double and a series of infrastructure projects will transform the built environmnet in coming decades, but is there a broader vision for Perth? Emily Piesse reports.

When Central Park was completed in 1992, Perth's commercial building industry operated under a substantially different planning code.

Targeting a green-star rating on commercial projects has become more common for property developers, particularly at the big end of town.

While it's well understood that unique, iconic structures can define a city, there's little consensus as to what such a building would look like in Perth.
