Many of you know that safety and more inclusive routes for CAT Buses and the public in our city centre and neighbourhoods are topics I sometimes speak about with the Public Transport Authority, State Government, City of Perth and WA Police and anyone who will listen!

Today I had a message from the Office of the Hon Rita Saffioti MLA, Deputy Premier, Treasurer; Minister for Transport & Major Infrastructure; Sport & Recreation, and I am very grateful for her time in responding to me on this topic.

These are some of the latest Safety Upgrades and improvements for City of Perth public transport:

The Western Australian Government and PTA are rolling out key tech upgrades to keep buses, trains, and ferries safer for everyone:

* Discreet App Reporting: Logged-in Transperth app users can now report safety concerns in real time directly to the Central Monitoring Room.

* Body-Worn Cameras: Security officers now feature live-streaming cameras, allowing 24/7 central staff to view incidents and dispatch immediate support.

* On-Board Police Presence: WA Police officers continue to travel free on Transperth, boosting active presence across the network.

We can do a lot better and we need to all work together, planning for and making City of Perth the best place it can be to live in, work in and visit.

Again, thank you for your time and reply, Hon Rita Saffioti MLA and Senior Policy Adviser, Jess Cunnold, I really appreciate it and your time, as will users of the CAT Bus and public transport in our neighbourhoods and CBD.

I’ll see you in the city.

🚗 Just a quick reminder for everyone driving and parking in the City of Perth and for drivers around the corner of Hay Street and Thomas Street, West Perth, near where I am 📍

⚠️ If you stop or park in a clearway area, parking patrol officers and tow trucks are often nearby and ready to act when the restriction applies, here in West Perth it's now 4pm in clearways.

⏱️ It can happen quickly, so please check the signs before stopping, even for a short time, a little awareness can save you a fine, a tow, and a very frustrating day. 😤

🛣️ The main Perth CBD clearway corridors include sections of major roads such as:
* 🚦 Hay Street in West Perth
* 🚦 Wellington Street
* 🚦 St Georges Terrace
* 🚦 Adelaide Terrace
* 🚦 William Street
* 🚦 Barrack Street
* 🚦 Lord Street
* 🚦 Plain Street
* 🚦 Other major approaches into the CBD

👀 It’s easy to miss a sign when you’re in a hurry, so let’s look out for each other and help keep our city moving safely and smoothly. ❤️

📱 Remember, the EasyPark app is available too, to pay for parking, activate free parking, and get a “heads up” if you can’t park in certain spots at different times of the day.

🚧 Clearways are there to help keep traffic moving, particularly during busy periods, so please keep an eye out for clearway signs when parking or stopping in the CBD and in our city neighbourhoods. 🏙️

Lurking tow trucks and city clearways

Every day just before 4pm in West Perth, I set an alarm on my phone to warn clients, locals and nearby businesses.

A tow truck is often parked a few cars back on the corner of Hay and Thomas Street, on the right-hand side, just before the lights, waiting.

At 4pm, cars get loaded with no mercy, then a text says it’s gone.
No warning first to give you a “heads up.” This is not vibrancy building; that’s revenue raising.

Visitors cop it hardest, often with no idea where their car’s gone, then a trek to Northbridge, plus a fine.

I’ve watched people arrive back a minute late, often women alone, get met with aggression instead of a warning text.

We can do better than this in the City of Perth.

18 Aug 2026 | City of Perth Council Agenda Briefing Session

I get it, City of Perth councillors can choose not to attend an Agenda Briefing/Briefing Session because it is not the same as an ordinary Council meeting.

But councillors make important decisions for our city, and these briefings provide an opportunity to ask questions, understand the issues and better prepare before making decisions on behalf of the community … so where is everyone?

Yagan Square + ECU = A Positive Future for City of Perth 💜

I was out last night with students, parents and teachers at the State Theatre and it feels like right now is an exciting time in the city.

🎭 ECU City Campus draws thousands of students and staff into the city centre during the day, and it attracts people to Yagan Square and to the Northbridge precinct at night, it feels very impressive and exciting. ✨

Across from the State Theatre Centre of WA, which is amazing, it looks and feels vibrant with:

🎓 A younger, growing population

🛍️ More customers, foot traffic and evening activity

🎶 More Arts and Culture, Events and Entertainment

🚶 Stronger connection between Yagan Square, Northbridge and the CBD ❤️

It feels alive in this part of the city and Northbridge, we must always be looking for ways to improve other parts of our city on the outskirts too, areas like Claisebrook, East Perth, West Perth, Crawley, Kings Park, and Nedlands need a boost during the day, in the evenings and on the weekends.

It won't happen by itself, let's get out and support local traders, try something new or old, and visit 🙌🏼

I'll see you in the city
