A Masterpiece of Mistiming in Perth Town Planning
Perth architect and town planner Paul Ritter, once sacked by the city council, is now retained by the Labor government to study the Metropolitan Region Planning Authority plan while having previously criticised it. The row over an extra corridor and rural grazing near the GPO fuels public debate as cabinet moves forward. Graham and Ritter exchange cautious approval, amid political theatre and contested visions for urban development.

City plan sparks clash over corridor system and critic Ritter
The cover caricature shows Mr Graham in distress over the corridor plan. Mr Ritter suggests a fee up to 5000 for further reflections, while public opinion jokingly favors Gil bert and Sullivan. The MRPA proposed four corriders radiating from the city centre to curb sprawl and guide future development. The new minister avoids commitment to a fifth corridor, stressing quality of development. Ritter criticizes current planning as crude and biased, possibly challenging Cabinet. The debate risks government losing confidence in its advisers and timing is viewed as poor.
