On this morning’s edition of every waking moment of your life has the potential to become #content, yesterday I had the pleasure of guest witnessing a couple’s wedding in Northbridge — and it was delightful. If you ever get the opportunity to do it, go for it! It’s nice seeing people happy on the happiest day of their lives. 10/10 would recommend.
Likewise the chicken schnitty sando I copped at the Doubleview Bowlo afterwards AKA the dream Sunday for ya boy.
Anyway I hope you had a nice weekend, and may the week ahead be filled with happy moments — wherever you find them.
Troy Mutton, Editor-in-Chief, Perth is OK!

Perth student accommodation boom continues with plans for $128 million tower
Perth’s growing student accommodation precinct could soon welcome another 700-plus residents, with plans unveiled for a $128 million high-rise just 600m from the new ECU City Campus.
The proposed 22-storey apartment complex at 97-99 Stirling Street is now open for public feedback.
The development would accommodate 720 students across a mix of single and twin studios, as well as four-bedroom apartments. Its design also features a rooftop terrace, communal study areas, theatre and e-sports room, fitness and yoga studios and a games lounge.
The tower would fill a vacant block between two existing high-rise apartment buildings, adding to the growing number of student accommodation options in the area.
