Perth Park will be Western Australia's premier entertainment and sporting precinct.

Sitting alongside the Belmont Park Racecourse and Crown Perth, Perth Park will bring Optus Stadium and the State Tennis Centre together with exciting new facilities to create Western Australia's premier entertainment and sporting precinct.

The independent ACIL Allen business case found the new facilities will deliver more than $61 million in economic activity each year, helping to diversify the WA economy, creating new jobs in tourism, sport and the arts.

Importantly, Perth Park will continue the reinvigoration of the Burswood Peninsula, with landscaped parklands and more trees for the local community.

The precinct will include:

Landscaped parkland: Exciting new space for large-scale festivals and for the community and families to enjoy throughout the year.
More trees: More than double the existing tree canopy, with a new urban forest made up of native shrubs, ground cover and trees.
Multi-use building: Event, function and sporting facilities for the community with space for motor sport and cycling along with other public amenities.
Amphitheatre: Perth's first dedicated outdoor amphitheatre for concerts and events for up to 12,000 people.
Multi-use track: For cycling training and competitions, as well as an annual motor sport street circuit event.
New hospitality venue: An opportunity for the private sector to invest in a new, year-round food and beverage venue.

Construction updates

Establishment of the site for future construction works

The Perth Entertainment and Sporting Precinct Alliance (PESPA) will commence site establishment works in early February 2026, in preparation for future construction activities. During the construction period, the park will be temporarily closed to the public.

A map highlighting the pedestrian paths that have remained accessible throughout this stage of construction is available here.

Development Application open for comment

The Western Australian Planning Commission is seeking public comment on a development application for construction works and improvements in association with Perth Park on Lot 2001 (Optus Stadium Precinct), Lot 2006 Camfield Drive road reserve and Victoria Park Drive road reserve. This application does not relate to the existing Burswood Park Board land where site establishment works are underway, which has all relevant approvals in place.

The development application proposes the construction of earth and drainage works, landscaping and public realm improvements, a portion of a multi-use track, roadworks, and utilities upgrades.
