Editorial Policy
Independence
Perth Attractions is written as an independent visitor guide. It is not the official website for Perth, Western Australia, any council, attraction or tourism authority.
Source Policy
Factual details are checked against official attraction websites, Visit Perth, City of Perth, Destination Perth, Tourism Australia, council pages, Transperth, ferry operators, park authorities and beach or safety sources where relevant.
No Invented Prices Or Hours
The site does not invent opening hours, prices, ticket rules, ferry times, transport timetables, beach safety conditions, animal experiences or event dates. If details can change, pages either link to the official source or use a cautious note.
Review Rhythm
Priority pages are reviewed when content is expanded, when official sources change, or when a correction is received. Time-sensitive visitor details should always be checked on the official website before visiting.
Corrections
Corrections can be sent through the contact page. Please include the page URL, the detail that needs review and the official source if available.
Affiliate Or Advertising Disclosure
If advertising, sponsorships or affiliate links are added later, this policy should disclose how those relationships work and how editorial independence is protected.
How Pages Are Expanded
Priority pages are expanded first where they are most useful to visitors: major attractions, family pages, regional hubs, transport-aware pages and places that commonly appear in Perth itineraries. Expansion focuses on why to visit, what to see, how long to spend, nearby places, family notes, car-free notes and official source links.
The site may use cautious language where a detail changes often or still needs checking. That caution should not replace useful content, so pages are reviewed to remove filler and keep practical local planning advice.
Image And Licensing Policy
Images should be local files with appropriate rights, original assets, properly licensed material or clear placeholders. The site should not imply it has official venue imagery unless the file is available and licensed for that use.
Internal Linking Policy
Internal links are used to help readers compare nearby areas and similar attractions, not to force a fixed route. A beach page may link to a coastal walk, a family page may link to a nearby park, and a regional page may link to the practical alternatives in the same part of Perth.
Factual Safety Policy
When a detail could affect a visitor's time, cost, access or safety, the site avoids presenting it as permanent unless it comes from a reliable current source. This includes ferry operations, beach conditions, tours, animal encounters, parking arrangements, closures and special events.
Pages should still be useful even when exact details are left to official sources. The editorial goal is to explain what kind of visit a place suits, what to compare nearby, how to think about weather and transport, and which official source to check before setting a firm plan.
Quality Review Checklist
When a page is reviewed, the first checks are whether the intro is natural, whether the page gives specific local value, whether nearby links are realistic, whether there is only one check-before-visiting box, and whether any sentence sounds like a generated template.
The second checks are technical: title, description, canonical URL, internal links, sitemap inclusion, share block, crawlable HTML and whether the page avoids heavy scripts. A page should be useful to a person first, then clear to Googlebot and AI crawlers.
Where there is a trade-off, the guide favours clear caution over false certainty. It is better to point to an official source than to repeat a price, time, transport detail or safety condition that may quickly become wrong.
