BOOM TIME
DESTINATION Perth is growing and changing as it transforms into a world-class conference and events destination.
PERTH’S DINING, ENTERTAINMENT and conference precincts have undergone a rapid transformation in the past few years.
After five years of construction, Perth Arena opened in the
CBD in November. The 15,500-seat arena feature world-leading technology, an adaptable performance floor, extensive support rooms and a retractable roof. Opening soon is Crown Limited’s six-star property, to be known
as Crown Towers Perth. It will be the city’s largest hotel, taking capacity at Crown Perth to nearly 1200 guest rooms. Construction starts this year and is expected to take about three years. This project will add 500 guest rooms as well as convention venues, restaurants, bars and resort amenities. Meanwhile, work has started on Perth’s biggest facelift yet with
a series of urban renewal and development projects. Changing the fact of the WA capital, the $2.6 billion Elizabeth
Quay project will return the city’s focus to the Swan River. The centrepiece of a bold plan to revitalise the central city, Elizabeth Quay will cover nearly 10ha. of what is now prime riverfront land between Barrack and William Streets. It creates a 2.7ha. inlet surrounded by a split-level promenade, shops, cafes, restaurants and entertainment venues.
Perth Arena. In another major infrastructure redevelopment that has just
been launched, the Wellington Street Bus Station and Fremantle rail line are being lowered below ground level from Perth station to Lake Street. Another development is the transformation of the city’s eastern
gateway with the creation of a cosmopolitan waterfront community and tourist destination that includes a mix of entertainment, commercial, retail, civic and residential developments.t
