  Two Feet began in 2007 in the time-honoured tradition of scribbling an idea down on a coaster at the pub. Two friends, who had spent many of their years travelling realised that some cities are harder to understand than others. Our tours are designed to be conversational, informative, engaging and entertaining. We have built a reputation as a leader in contemporary interpretation.We focus on the who, what, where, when, why and how. We paint a picture of the destination you are visiting. Two Feet tours will help you to understand Perth by discovering the people, events and decisions made that ultimately shaped it into the evolving city that it is today. All tour material is fully researched to ensure the stories and information presented is based on historically accurate and referenced sources. This is achieved through partnerships and relationships with the National Trust, The Heritage Council, Heritage Perth and by engaging state government departments. Extensive research is also conducted at the State Library, through internet searches, collection of a comprehensive private library of historical books and journals, as well as collecting firsthand accounts from people who were actually there to witness events. The indigenous content of the tours has been endorsed for accuracy and cultural sensitivity by officers from the Department of Culture and the Arts, as well as respected elders. Due to our sustained excellence, we have were able to expand into Sydney in 2009 and now have a national brand that is trusted by key organisations including Tourism Australia, Tourism Western Australia and Destination NSW.

  The Museum of Perth is a private, non-profit museum located in the Atlas Building, 8-10 The Esplanade (opposite Elizabeth Quay), in Perth, Western Australia. It aims to chronicle the social, cultural, political and architectural history of Perth. It began life as a virtual museum on the social media site Twitter in October 2012, created by Dallas Robertson, a museum studies student at Edith Cowan University. It was expanded into Facebook the following year. In 2014 the still-virtual museum gained local attention when it led a campaign against the City of Perth to save an art deco factory from demolition, which ultimately failed when a Western Australian state minister intervened to support the local government's decision. By July 2015 the cyber Museum of Perth moved a step closer to reality when the Perth History Association was set up comprising members Dallas Robertson, Reece Harley, Ryan Zaknich, Ryan Mossny, Richard Offen and Diana Warnock and the group opened a bricks and mortar version of the museum. The not-for-profit organisation subsequently founded the Museum of Perth. Along with a permanent exhibition on the history of Perth, the museum also contains a micro-cinema and hosts rotating exhibitions on Perth's social history.

Western Australian Planning Commission

• Metropolitan Region Scheme - Implementation

  • Nov 2005 - Jan 2013

  The Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) is a large town planning scheme for land use in the Perth metropolitan area. This area stretches from Singleton in the south to Two Rocks in the north and east to The Lakes. The MRS defines the future use of land, dividing it into broad zones and reservations. It requires local government town planning schemes to provide detailed plans for their part of the region. These schemes must be consistent with the MRS. The MRS uses a set of maps and a scheme text. The scheme text provides planning rules for zones and reservations which are shown on the maps in different colours and patterns. Refer to the Metropolitan Region Scheme - Scheme text which is amended from time to time. This plan has been in operation since 1963 and provides the legal basis for planning in the Perth metropolitan region. To plan for changing needs, the Metropolitan Region Scheme map is amended frequently.
