Directions 2031 is an overarching strategic plan for the Perth metropolitan area published by the Western Australian Planning Commission. It replaced the draft 2004 Network City and was the first strategic plan to be formally adopted since Metroplan in 1991. Detailed sub-regional planning frameworks containing comprehensive spatial maps were published separately as Perth and Peel @ 3.5 million, extending the strategic timeframe out to 2050.[1] These frameworks, covering Perth’s Central, North-West, North-East and Southern regions, included specific population targets for each local government area. Collectively these targets accommodate an additional 800,000 people in the metropolitan area by 2030 .[2]
