The City of Perth Council met on Tuesday September 24. The following decisions were made:
EV Karts and K-Pop
Funding for two proposed exciting new events was approved by the City of Perth Council last night.
The Perth EV Kart Championship is proposed to take place at Langley Park and surrounds in April 2025, featuring the top 20 drivers from the global EV Karting World Championship.
EV Kart Racing is an exciting new form of motorsport utilising electric karts capable of reaching speeds of 160km/h. This year events are being held in the US, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Japan, Greece, and Denmark.
The proposal is contingent on additional revenue sources including an estimated $200,000 from State Government or corporate sponsorship.
K-Pop Culture will bring the K-Pop sensation to Perth in October 2025, the first time this event has been brought to WA.
K-Pop has amassed a large global following in recent years and there has been large scale concerts in Singapore, New York, and Bangkok.
The proposal is contingent on additional revenue sources including an estimated $694,000 from State Government.
Signs, signs, everywhere there’s signs
Following an extensive review and consultation process, last night the City of Perth Council adopted an updated Signs planning policy (Planning Policy 4.6 – Signs).
This represents a significant update to the Policy that was last amended in 2016.
The focus of the Signs Policy is to support businesses by providing guidance in the provision of signage that supports the identification and promotion of businesses, organisations, and buildings.
The policy incorporates a place-based approach to planning for the city, providing guidance on the size and type of signs depending on the character and strategic direction of the City’s neighbourhoods, and covers all aspects of signage including third-party advertising, and wall and street furniture sign sizes.
Details of the policy are available .
Planning Policies
The City of Perth continues the implementation of its Local Planning Strategy through the introduction of new and contemporary Local Planning Policies for the city.
Last night the Council adopted for consultation new draft Local Planning Policies for the Brown and Kensington Street area and the Royal Street Neighbourhood Centre in the Claisebrook neighbourhood, as well as the Hay Street Neighbourhood Centres in East and West Perth.
The Council also considered the proposed designation of the East End Heritage Area and the Pier Street Heritage Area and associated draft Local Planning Policies for consultation.
These draft policies, and others, will be released for community consultation in the new year as part of the formal 90-day consultation on the draft Local Planning Scheme No. 3.
They are available .
