A computer-generated video, which offers a virtual tour through the streets of the Perth of the future, is being described as an “important selling tool” for the city.
The short clip, which is being broadcast online, was put together as part of the Invest in Perth campaign and will be used to help bring more investment and businesses into the region.
It is based on Perth and Kinross Council’s recently published blueprint for the city over the next 10 years.
The projected timeline includes the long-awaited redevelopment of Perth Theatre, enhancements and improvements to the park and ride facilities on the city outskirts and improved infrastructure at access points.
According to the plan, by 2017, key streets and vennels will be enhanced to “complement a vibrant, mixed-use, 24 hour city centre.”
The inward investment and marketing officer Stuart Oliver said the short film was the first part of a longer video which would eventually highlight all developments planned for the city over the next 10-15 years.
“Once it is finished, this video will be shown to potential developers and investors,” he said.
“It’s a great way to show them what is happening in Perth. It will be an important selling tool for us.”
