GEOGRAPHY ASSIGNMENT
1. Describe the site and situation of Perth’s CBD and IMZ.
a)
The Perth CBD is located 14 kilometres from the Darling Scarp in the South-West of Western Australia and 7 kilometres East North-East of Fremantle, 16 km SW from midland and 27km NW from Armadale. The Perth CBD is roughly 13 kilometres inland from the Indian ocean. Its latitude and longitude is 31°57’ south and 115°51’ east. The CBD is the most accessible place in. Every railway line makes its way through the CBD, and with almost every major freeway would make its way towards the city the Perth’s CBD is located on the north bank of the swan river which has several major roads that (surrounds) the CBD which includes Mitchell freeway on the west, graham farmer on the east, and Wanneroo road coming from the north. The Perth CBD road pattern is a grid road pattern. The site of Perth’s CBD is built on a fairly flat land that has a slight gradient up more along the north side around Smith Lake. On the south side on the CBD along the swan, the land decreases in height. The north side of the CBD roughly reaches from 0-15 meters above sea level and the south side of the CBD reaches from 0- 20 meters above sea level.
B)
The inner mixed zone (IMZ) is made up of Perth’s oldest suburbs. These include – west perth, Leederville, north Perth and east Perth, these are situated on the frame of the CBD, the majority of it towards the northern side. Like the CBD the IMZ shares the same latitude and longitude and also the site. The IMZ is the second more accessible area of Perth as it is just on the edge of the most accessible place, the CBD. The railway and major highway and freeways run through the IMZ. These areas have mainly been influenced through the “nightlife” scene and ethnicity. This area has been known for their nightclubs restaurants and foreign delis.
2. Discuss what is planned for the Elizabeth Quay and include a map of its design.
