Our Great Eastern Highway Urban Corridor Strategy is a strategic planning document to address the need for coordinated planning along Great Eastern Highway.
 
A number of issues needed to be considered, including:
 

• How land uses and access arrangements could be better coordinated;
• How connections could be improved to some areas including the Swan River;
• How access options for pedestrians, cyclists and businesses could be improved.

The Strategy divides the corridor into four unique precinct areas. It addresses matters relating to land use, built form, the public realm and access arrangements with a series of recommendations for implementing the vision.
