The new Multi-purpose Indoor Entertainment and
Sports Stadium (which will be called Perth Arena) is being designed by a world-class team of architects
including Melbourne-based Ashton Raggatt McDougall (ARM), local Perth firm
Cameron Chisholm and Nicol (CCN), and specialist consultants RTKL from the
USA. The 12,000-seat indoor stadium is planned to open in mid-2009.
The new stadium will:
- seat
a minimum of 12,000 people for sporting events and 14,000 for concerts
- include a state-of-the-art operating system to allow maximum
flexibility, an adaptable performance floor, extensive support rooms and
VIP areas
- incorporate an operable roof – which will allow the Hopman Cup to
continue in Perth
- be built and funded by Western Australians
- attract world-class performers and international sporting events
- encourage tourism and showcase Western Australia – nationally and
internationally
- generate jobs during the construction stage – and more employment
and economic benefits when it is up and running.
