THE community was left out of Perth waterfront redevelopment planning, resulting in it being "fundamentally flawed", a lobby of prominent architects and urban planners claims.
In a last-minute intervention, architect Linley Lutton, who heads up the newly-founded City Gatekeepers group, has spoken out about the flaws in the $440 million project, which he says the community does not support.
Major works for the waterfront project are due to start in April, with the State Government planning to transform 10 hectares of the foreshore into a new precinct linking the CBD to the Swan River.
An island will also be created within the inlet and connected to the waterfront by a pedestrian and cycle bridge.
Dr Lutton, director of Urbanix Design and Australian Institute of Urban Studies WA vice chair, told PerthNow it was not too late to put pressure on the State Government to alter the proposed redevelopment.
