Historic transformation of Perth Concert Hall has begun
Works have begun on the $150.3 million transformation of the historic Perth Concert Hall.
Australian construction company ADCO Constructions has commenced on essential structural work required to restore the integrity of the heritage-listed building.
This project is a key part of the state government’s economic diversification strategy to help grow creative industries and attract investment to Western Australia.
A digital fly-through of the Perth Concert Hall project shows a new and improved entry experience, through a redesigned and landscaped forecourt to create a more connected and welcoming approach to the venue.
The revitalisation also includes internal refurbishments such as the creation of a home for the West Australian Symphony Orchestra including office and rehearsal spaces, new bar areas and events spaces. The auditorium entry, lifts and stairs will also be remodelled to improve venue accessibility.
Updated seating, lighting and backstage facilities have been carefully considered to preserve the venue's distinctive features and internationally renowned acoustic features.
The $150.3 million investment includes $134.3 million in State Government funding, $12 million from the Commonwealth Government and $4 million from the City of Perth.
The popular concert venue was the first Australian concert hall built after World War II.
The Perth Concert Hall is due to open again in 2028.
