Perth and Peel @3.5 million includes ambitious targets to house communities in areas on and near busy urban corridors, in activity centres and station precincts. To do this, our major streets must be more than just vehicle arterials, they will become important places for community, too. If well-designed they can be places we walk, cycle, and catch transit; places to stop and pick up a morning coffee; places to meet a friend; and places to live.

In Perth, there has been a progression towards an integrated approach with the move towards a Movement and Place framework to assist in creating more liveable urban corridors, and the State is embarking on mid-tier corridor identification.
