Information

A thriving business sector provides local employment opportunities and allows people to live and work in their neighbourhood. A diverse range of commercial and retail tenancies are available in most areas that can service local and regional communities.

As well as supporting local employment, these businesses contribute to vibrant street life with people on the move between business premises and residential accommodation in the same precinct.

EPRA’s strategies for promoting business include:

• Providing mixed-use zonings that facilitate a range of commercial opportunities.
• Attracting flagship businesses, supporting existing businesses, encouraging private participation in development opportunities and promoting locally based tourism activities.
• Supporting local business associations such as the East Perth Business Network and the Business Improvement Group Northbridge (BigN).
