THE City of Vincent will be swallowed up entirely by the City of Perth under a revised local government reform plan released today.

Crown Casino and the QEII Medical Centre will also be encompassed into the City of Perth under the new strategy.

Premier Colin Barnett and Local Government Minister Tony Simpson released the new proposals this afternoon, which will also see Kings Park and the new Perth Stadium at Burswood come under the City of Perth's watch.

The entire UWA campus, which is currently overseen by three separate councils, will also be brought into the City of Perth as part of the new plan.

"It is also important that the reform process begins with the City of Perth. These changes will give the city the status it should hold as a capital city with growing importance in the region," Mr Barnett said today.

"This model will enhance the city, bringing the emblematic features that are the city's great selling points under one administrative umbrella. A bigger City of Perth will also be better equipped to respond to the needs of a growing State."

Mr Simpson said under the new model, the northern boundary of the City of Perth would follow the current City of Vincent boundary along Green and Walcott Streets.

Mr Barnett added the changes, which are expected to take effect in mid-2015, signalled a new era for the State's capital.

"This is a pivotal step in the history of our city and the next step in the State Government's reforms, which will ensure that local councils are best equipped to meet the demands of a growing city," he said.
