A long-term vision for Great Eastern Highway

Great Eastern Highway is home to thousands of people and businesses, and it connects Perth to regional WA and the rest of the world through Perth Airport.

That's why it's important to make sure there is a clear vision for the future development of the area.

It's also why we've prepared our Great Eastern Highway Urban Corridor Strategy, a draft of which is open for public comment.

The draft Strategy outlines a long-term vision for town planning and development along part of Great Eastern Highway, addressing matters of land use, vehicle and pedestrian access, buildings, and public spaces.

Precincts

The Strategy divides the corridor into four precinct areas:

  • Precinct One - Graham Farmer Freeway to Belmont Avenue
  • Precinct Two - Belmont Avenue to Hardey Road
  • Precinct Three - Hardey Road to Tonkin Highway
  • Precinct Four - Tonkin Highway to east of Ivy Street.

Precinct plans

Each precinct includes four plans to illustrate how the vision for the corridor will be delivered.

  • Public Realm

    Details how elements of the public realm, such as public spaces and landscape zones, work together to create a connected, liveable area.


  • Land Use

    Outlines preferred land uses for different areas along the corridor.

  • Movement

    An overview of the pedestrian crossings, vehicle access, and parking arrangements, ensuring safer pedestrian and cyclist movement throughout the corridor.



  • Built Form

    Outlines some of the requirements for new buildings along the corridor, such as building setbacks, scale, transitions, and active ground floors.
