Rockingham City Centre
The vision for the Strategic Regional Centre is to achieve a traditional town centre character with street life, safe pedestrian spaces and ready access to a vibrant mix of commercial, civic, community and recreational activities.
The Council’s chambers building, arts complex, lotteries house, police station, courts and justice centre, and the ‘LifeLinks’ community building are clear demonstrations of the substantial public sector commitment to the future of the regional centre.
The conferring of primary centre status on the Rockingham Activity Centre in the Government's draft 2009 strategic planning documents for the Perth region underscores the important role that the centre will play as a 'main street', high intensity central city area, second only (along with Joondalup) in importance to the Perth CBD in its role and its range of functions.
The Council continues to actively seek employment generating private sector investment in the City Centre. The council has created three development sites along Civic Boulevard from its own landholding, one of which has been sold for a two storey office and retail building, and the other two are currently being marketed to generate further private sector activity in the city centre.
