The City of Canning has committed to creating a vibrant City Centre – we say Perth’s Southern CBD. We will achieve this through the implementation of a robust environmental, social and economic platform.
The revitalised City Centre with a rejuvenated streetscape for Cecil Avenue will anchor the area with a mixed-use and a pedestrian-friendly tree lined street. Incorporating an inviting space for people of all ages, backgrounds and professions, new streetscapes and a vibrant public realm will create a more diverse and vital City Centre, both day and night.
The City Centre will feature high density residential accommodation in desirable locations near the train station and adjoining Westfield Carousel, which significantly increased its retail space in late 2018. Adding a level of energy to the area and helping to bring the space to life, the expansion of Westfield Carousel is a significant factor in shaping the success of the City Centre.

Lake Street Urban Stream compliments other surrounding projects such as the award winning Wharf Street Basin Next Generation Park, Cecil Avenue West and East smart streets, plus the upcoming Lake Street Extension.
