t Meanwhile, eclectic boutique bars and cafes have been popping up in lane ways in the CBD, offering wine, food and cocktails with a distinctive Western Australian flavour. In fact, a score of name restaurants such as Guillaume Brahimi’s
Bistro Guillaume, Neil Perry’s Rockpool Perth, Nobu Perth, Print Hall, The Heritage Brasserie Bar & Boardroom and The Trustee Bar & Bistro are capitalising on the state’s produce and wines. Adding to this mix, UK chef Jamie Oliver is planning to open a version of his Sydney diner, Jamie’s Italian.
New terminal opens at airport
As the city steps up its conferencing infrastructure, Perth Airport is gearing up for extra capacity with the opening of its second domestic terminal. Bound for Esperance, the first commercial flight from the $120 million T2 terminal took off in early March. “We’re very proud of our new terminal,” says airport CEO Brad
Geatches. “It was completed on time and on budget, and we are confident that passengers using the terminal will have a positive experience.” Retailers in T2 take into consideration the demographics of the
passengers using it. Ninety per cent of them are involved in the resource and taking charter flights offered by Alliance Airlines and Skywest. Geatches says the terminal is spacious, more than double the
size of Terminal 3. “We’ve maximised the use of natural light not only to reduce power consumption, but to add to the overall feel of the building, and by building our own gas-fired power station, we are reducing our greenhouse gas emissions by 55 per cent.” Next to the international terminal (T1), T2 is the first terminal
to be built at the airport for 26 years. Features include access via a “walk-in” landscaped plaza, a check-in hall with 16 counters, a large central passenger security screening zone to minimise queuing times, quality retail and dining options in the departure area with views across the airfield, an apron with up to 14 aircraft gates connected to the terminal by covered walkways, taxiways
