Get Active Getting There! North Perth
Re-energising the Lade
Get Active Getting There! North Perth aims to breathe life into one of Perth's green corridors and hidden historical jewels - the Perth Lade. It is hoped this effort will raise awareness of the Lade as a vital corridor for commuting, leisure, recreation and health among local people, while also improving its image, access, perceived and real safety and overall visibility within the community.
