The Council engaged in advocating against the loss of heritage in response to the proposed development of Elizabeth Quay on the Perth waterfront in 2011. The Council was not directly opposing renovations to the area, instead emphasised that the proposed plans were ignorant of the area's heritage value. The campaigning involved the Council submitting a letter highlighting its concerns to the State Government, organising its own forums to bring attention to the issue, and the promotion of a public rally to object to the proposal in February 2012. Despite the objections from the Council and other parties, the project remains in development.
