Premier announces major projects for Perth
13th February 2008, 13:30 WST
WA Premier Alan Carpenter has today announced the State Government’s plans for the Barrack Street foreshore redevelopment and further works on the Northbridge link project.
Stage 1 of the waterfront front is expected to cost $300 million. The plan will be available for public comment soon, with construction expected to start in 2011 or 2012.
“The most notable thing about the development is its generous, well designed public spaces with unrestricted public access to the riverfront,” Mr Carpenter said.
“It will activate the river frontage, creating an activity hotspot both day and night for local residents and visitors.”
Mr Carpenter also announced Stage 2 of the Northbridge Link project, which would cost about $9 million. He said the first stage of the project was already underway, with the construction of the $335 million Perth Arena.
Today’s announcement follows last week’s decisions on the Subiaco stadium project at a cost of $1.1 billion and the construction of a new museum, to be built at the site of the old East Perth Power Station at a cost of $500 million.
