Goal 4.1

"Guaranteeing better representation for all stakeholders – including civil society – in City Port decision-making bodies.

Challenge(s)

How can ports help bridge the gap between the port and the public in development projects?

Best Practice

By revitalising the waterfront while preserving its historical significance, projects can bridge the gap between the port and the public. Through community engagement, tourism development, and infrastructure investments, maritime activity can be integrated with public enjoyment, fostering a harmonious balance. Approved in November 2018, the Victoria Quay redevelopment in Fremantle is overseen by a steering group chaired by Minister Simone McGurk. Tasked with enhancing land use, maintaining port functionality, and improving connectivity with Fremantle’s CBD, the initiative aligns with the Westport Taskforce’s goals. The steering group’s collaborative efforts play a pivotal role in ensuring the port meets operational needs while enhancing accessibility and appeal to the public.
