Helen B's idea for Central Parkposted 20th September 2011, 1:14am

Bike sharing hub, on top of that more bicycle friendly lanes through out the city extending towards Mount Lawley, Victoria Park and West/East Perth . We need to promote the circulation of transport within Perth, and highlight surrounding suburbs as PART of the city.

Plus - promote some awesome bike rack designs

Mark B's idea for Grand Laneposted 13th July 2011, 2:20pm

Create more imaginative signage / extension of surface treatments to invite the public to explore the qualities of the laneway.

Alex F's idea for Central Parkposted 25th September 2010, 11:40pm

Street vendors for lunch go-ers and some sort of urban art installation in the gardens to get people to stay awhile e.g. sculptures

parking lot!

Zane H's idea for River Foreshoreposted 4th January 2010, 5:30pm

"I’ve always seen the park bench as a good metaphor for good urban space. You sit on them, you fall in love on them, you eat your sandwiches on them, you get drunk on them, you carve your name and your girlfriend’s name on them…” (Andrew Shoben, director of UK collective Greyworld)

Urban Designers around the world argue that the park bench is a good metaphor for good urban spaces. Jan Gehl’s Public Space Public Life research revealed that Perth has increased its cafe chair seats by 74% since 1993. Improvements to our streetscapes since the initial report have been fundamental to the increasing number of people enjoying Perth’s streets.

Lets discuss some ideas to enhance our small meeting places.

Ceri P's idea for Howard Laneposted 9th July 2009, 12:06am

The beautiful Art Deco Lawson building at the bottom of the Lane. In a former incarnation I worked high up the Bankwest Tower and there is clearly a prime spot for a roof bar up there. Whether planning permission would ever be possible or the chance that the residents are closet party animals is probably slim. But would be great!

Annalise D's idea for Central Parkposted 25th May 2009, 4:00pm

How about making use of the QANTAS building. this could provide a brilliant substructure for contoured landforms to create an amphitheatre in Central Park.
Perfect for concert events, and with a large screen projection unit you could create an exciting place for people watching. The question is how important are the trees to the space, they either hinder development or provide structural design challenges due to the under-ground carpark!

Rene L's idea for Grand Laneposted 21st May 2009, 12:42am

Huevos De Manana
2 moro's eggs...
This concept will house art or design based works that are installed by established or up and coming artists/designers.

This unique viewing window will offer the passer by some thing out of the norm and surely attract their interest.
It will also be a platform for promotion of local artists and designers. A high rotation of installations will ensure on going interest.

Swanman's idea for Forrest Placeposted 1st May 2009, 5:49pm

Interesting seats for the people.

Swanman's idea for Waterfrontposted 1st May 2009, 5:34pm

Explore oppotunities for installing a rooftop garden and other recreational activities on top of the convention centre.

Michael S's idea for Central Parkposted 8th April 2009, 3:56pm

Esslemont set up an olive oil stand today...was great to see. They ust contacted Central Park management to organise it - easy apparently!

Andrea B's idea for QV1 Forecourtposted 12th March 2009, 5:40pm

Organise more events for this area, like the QV1 Office Party
