Precincts
Russell Square Precinct
Bounded by Fitzgerald, Newcastle and Aberdeen Streets, and the western boundary of the former Arcus site, this precinct has been designed to foster a rich social and cultural mix. It features a variety of housing styles and other uses including shops, restaurants, coffee shops, offices and small showrooms.
Heritage
Nine buildings on Aberdeen Street have been retained due to their heritage, streetscape and economic value. Two buildings on Palmerston Street have also been retained due to their heritage value, including Wallpaper World, which has been completely restored and sold to the private sector.
Streetscape
Aberdeen Street is seen as the ‘showcase’ street for the project. It has become an important east/west route for ‘all forms of transport’, with a double avenue of Olive and elegant Leopard trees transforming this area. Parking has remained along Aberdeen Street, and pavements have been upgraded and made safer. Areas have been improved for alfresco dining, and power lines have been placed underground.
Redevelopment of the streetscape at Newcastle Street includes plantings of Apple Gums providing year-round colour, locating power underground, new lighting, paving and crossovers.
Lake Street Precinct
Bounded by William, Newcastle and Aberdeen Streets, and the eastern boundary of the former Arcus site, this precinct extends Perth’s major entertainment and nightlife area, attracting local, interstate and overseas visitors, as well as providing commercial and employment opportunities.
Plateia Hellas
Plateia Hellas is the centrepiece of this redeveloped precinct. It is a landmark space, providing a versatile area for business, residential and recreation activity, and public events. Its centre has remained open to allow vehicle movement and parking during business hours, while still allowing the space to be used for alfresco dining, public performances, markets and other social activities.
Urban Design and Land Use
To provide variety, the precinct features the re-use of existing buildings as well as mixed use developments. Alfresco dining and outdoor activities are also encouraged.
Heritage
Heritage sites feature in the new urban environment, including three State Heritage Listed cottages, which have been completely restored for adaptive re-use.
Streetscape
Several changes in the Russell Square Precinct have extended into the Lake Street Precinct, such as the intersection treatments at Lake and Aberdeen Streets. Sections of Newcastle Street and Aberdeen Street have been narrowed to two lanes, with parking added, and additional street tree planting and underground power are featured in the area. Additional safe and attractive pedestrian paths and public spaces have been completed. The existing character of William Street has been retained where the road passes through the project area, with existing paving being refurbished, the addition of street crossings, and additional street furniture.
Museum Street Precinct
This precinct, bounded by William, Beaufort, Newcastle and Aberdeen Streets, provides for civic, cultural and educational activities, as well as mixed-use commercial/residential uses. The precinct offers the opportunity to provide public open space for residents, local workers and students with new parks providing an attractive and calming refuge close to the centre of Northbridge.
Safe and attractive pedestrian thoroughfares bring new life to the existing pedestrian spine that passes through the precinct. Streets are to be enhanced with paving and tree planting, in keeping with the scale and character of the precinct.
Heritage
Places of recognised heritage significance feature in the area, such as 'Tom Burke House', and a number of heritage buildings at the southern end of Beaufort Street.
Lindsay Street Precinct 
Bounded by Money, Little Parry, Parry, Newcastle and Stirling Streets, this precinct features a range of residential buildings. Its heritage flavour has seen some of the precinct's old buildings, such as the Union bakery on Lindsay Street, restored for adaptive re-use.
Urban Design and Land Use
Innovative design for both residential and mixed-use developments is the focus of this area. Development on Beaufort Street takes advantage of views across Weld Square for primarily showroom/commercial purposes.
Heritage
Significant buildings have been retained and some modified for a range of new uses. An example of this is the Union Bakery, which has been conserved and adapted into office space and is currently home to the East Perth Redevelopment Authority.
Streetscape
Tree plantings enhance the streetscape while maintaining the already distinct character of Lindsay Street and Weld Square, which provides a valuable recreational opportunity for the local community.
Parry Street Precinct
This precinct, bounded by Stirling, Lord, Newcastle and Parry Streets, features mainly mixed-use office, showroom and residential uses. The precinct is a catalyst for further development to the south.
Urban Design and Land Use
Offices and commercial premises, such as showrooms, shops and educational facilities, feature along Stirling Street at ground level, with residential apartments on upper levels.
Streetscape
Streets have been narrowed, with parking and street trees being added to Stirling Street, Pier Street and the new Braid Street, which will become a residential area. Parry Street has been enhanced with new street trees, paving and footpath treatments.
Heritage
Most of the existing buildings in Parry Street have been retained and upgraded, featuring attractive facades, verandas and gardens, and parking located to the rear of properties.
