Perth Arena

Artrage is Western Australia's longest-running charitable not-for-profit arts organisation. Based in Perth, it originated as an alternative to the Perth International Arts Festival in 1983. Since then, Artrage has evolved into a production company supporting contemporary culture in Western Australia, and produces Rooftop Movies, Girls School, and the annual multi-arts fringe festival Fringe World.

The Australian College of Applied Education (ACAE), previously the Australian School of Tourism and Hotel Management (ASTHM), Australia's first private hotel school, was established in 1989 in Perth. ACAE ran courses ranging from hospitality and cookery, to business, management and accounting.ACAE's parent Careers Australia generated hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funding for expensive training courses. Investigations by ABC television journalists revealed the company was targeting vulnerable students using door-to-door sales brokers offering "free" computers as inducements to enroll. When that sales tactic was banned by the Federal Government, Careers Australia moved to telemarketing, online competitions offering "free" iPads, and employment websites to obtain people's personal information without their knowledge. In April 2017 the Federal Government denied Careers Australia access to its vocational education scheme because of its poor track record, which included the company admitting to breaking consumer law. The business, including ACAE's Perth campus, was closed down on 25 May.

Perth is a suburb in the Perth metropolitan region, Western Australia that includes both the central business district of the city, and a suburban area spreading north to the northern side of Hyde Park.

Greater Perth is Perth's Greater Capital City Statistical Area (GCCSA), a geographical area designed to represent the functional extent of Western Australia's (WA) capital city.The Greater Perth GCCSA does not define the built up edge of the city, but reflects the capital city labour market, using the 2006 Census travel to work data. The labour market is sometimes used as a de facto measure of the functional extent of a city since it contains the majority of the commuting population.GCCSAs were designed to provide a stable and consistent boundary that reflects the functional extent of each of Australia's capital cities. This definition was designed to include those within the urban area of the city as well as people who regularly socialise, shop or work within the city, but live in small towns and rural areas surrounding the city.Greater Perth consists of an area equivalent to the Perth metropolitan region, as defined by the Metropolitan Region Scheme, plus the City of Mandurah and the Pinjarra Level 2 Statistical Area of the Shire of Murray.The population of Greater Perth at the 2021 Census was 2,192,229. The population was projected to increase to between 4.4 million and 6.6 million by 2061.In 2013, Greater Perth had a population density of 310 inhabitants per square kilometre (800/sq mi), while the rest of WA had 0.2 inhabitants per square kilometre (0.52/sq mi). In the year to 2013, the density of Greater Perth increased by 10 inhabitants per square kilometre (26/sq mi). The statistical areas with the highest population densities in Greater Perth were the north-west areas of Tuart Hill - Joondanna (3,600 inhabitants per square kilometre (9,300/sq mi)), Scarborough (3,300 inhabitants per square kilometre (8,500/sq mi)), Innaloo - Doubleview (3,100 inhabitants per square kilometre (8,000/sq mi)); and North Perth (also 3,100 inhabitants per square kilometre (8,000/sq mi)), which adjoins the central business district.

The Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) provides the legal basis for land use planning within the Perth metropolitan region. It classifies land into broad zones and reservations and is administered by the Western Australian Planning Commission. It is one of three regional schemes in Western Australia. The MRS is updated via an ongoing process of amendments. Amendments to the MRS are typically informed by a series of strategic plans prepared by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage. Detailed land use planning within the area of the MRS is undertaken by local governments and other statutory authorities which prepare one or more local planning schemes within their administrative boundaries. Local plannings schemes must be consistent with the MRS and require the approval of the WAPC. The acquisition of land reserved under the MRS is funded by a hypothecated land tax called the Metropolitan Region Improvement Tax.

Perth City Link is an urban renewal and redevelopment project in Perth, Western Australia. The project – bounded by the Mitchell Freeway, Wellington Street, the Horseshoe Bridge and Roe Street – is on land that was once the Perth/City railway yard and dedicated railway property west of Perth railway station. The land was used by the railways and reserved for their use, from the 1880s until the late 1990s. At the time of early proposals, much of the space was no longer required by the railway.The foundation project, involved sinking a small section of the Fremantle railway line, between the City and Northbridge and demolishing the old Wellington Street Bus Station. Underground rail, refurbishment and extension of Perth station and a new bus station, is allowing for redevelopment of the 13.5 hectares (33 acres) of surface land that has been reclaimed. The rail works were completed in December 2013 and the Perth Busport opened in 2016.
