Curtin University is proud to have been a member of the Committee for Perth since 2007. The Committee is a voice for its members and our city, and has made a significant, positive contribution to Perth’s development. Its reports and advocacy on a range of topics ‐ including Perth’s demography and economy, key industries and wage equality for women, as well as considering future challenges ‐ have informed debate and development in a positive way over the past 15 years.
The Committee has worked in partnership with WA’s universities, with academics contributing their expertise to projects, adding rigor to the work and expanding its impact. For example, academics from our School of Built Environment conducted research and wrote a chapter for the Get a Move On! Project report into Perth’s mobility future.
Curtin participates in networking arranged by the Committee and benefits from speakers the Committee has bought to Perth over many years and the leadership provided by the Committee, especially in a time of such significant change to the way cities operate, and the way people work, has been extremely beneficial.
Curtin’s Chancellor, Dr Andrew Crane, has been a member of the Committee Board since 2020 and we are proud that the Committee has for many years been led by one of our graduates, Marion Fulker AM. Congratulations to all involved in the Committee for Perth over the past 15 years. Curtin University looks forward to another 15 years of collaboration, advocacy and achievement.”
