I make the strong case in parliament for Joondalup city centre in my electorate to be included in the federal government's City Deals program. This exciting new initiative will activate the Joondalup city centre, generating significant momentum for mixed-use projects such as the Boas Place precinct, creating a central business district for Perth's northern corridor, which meets the objective of decentralisation within the Perth metropolitan area.

The activation of Boas Place presents an ideal opportunity for the local, state and federal levels of government to collaborate with the private sector towards delivering medium-density residential and commercial development with new job opportunities by attracting investment to our city. City Deals will achieve results by aligning the planning, investment and governance structures necessary to accelerate growth and job creation, stimulate urban renewal and bring more consumers to Joondalup. Multiple economic development drivers will be activated through this city centre development, meeting the objectives of providing housing, creating employment self-sufficiency, optimising infrastructure investment and stimulating the local, regional and state-wide economy. The City Deals program will help secure the future prosperity and liveability of Joondalup city centre with vibrancy and amenity.
