Perth

80 km²

Centred on the heart of the state's capital, Perth is a highly accessible urban hub designed for pedestrians. It is a place where nearly every home is within a short stroll of parks, schools, and health services. This ease of movement is matched by a First Nations community that sees much higher school completion rates and incomes than the national average. It stands out as a walkable urban centre with strong educational and financial outcomes for its indigenous residents.
