The Project• Elizabeth Quay is part of a bold plan by the Western

Australian Government to revitalise central Perth.

• Featuring a 2.7ha inlet surrounded by offices, apartments, hotels, shops, bars and restaurants, the project will return the city’s focus to the Swan River and provide a contemporary waterfront destination for Perth.

• The State Government committed $440million to fund construction of the inlet, roads and services, public domain and the creation of development sites. It is anticipated that the project will attract a further $2.2billion of private sector investment.

• The Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (MRA) is overseeing delivery of the project, from construction of the public infrastructure and creation of development sites, to administering planning approval for the construction of buildings undertaken by the private sector.

• Elizabeth Quay is now an exciting destination that offers a range of activities to attract people of all ages, at all times of the year.

• When fully complete, the precinct will be a future place of work for 10,000 people and home to 1,400 residents.

• A significant proportion of the project area (approximately 60 per cent) is accessible to the public including 1.5 hectares of promenade, an inlet and an island.

• It is also be one of the most publicly accessible parts of the metropolitan area with connections to bus, train, CAT services, ferry, cycle and pedestrian networks.

Delivery• Construction of the Elizabeth Quay public realm began

in 2012 with the majority completed by January 2016.The public realm opened on 29 January, celebrated with a weekend of carnival fun and family friendly activities.

• Managing Contractor CPB Contractors (formerly Leighton Broad) delivered the $200million construction of the inlet and inlet walls. The bulk excavation involved the removal of 150,000 cubic metres of soil and took over seven months to complete. A number of smaller works packages are continuing on site.

• The $20million revitalisation of Barrack Street Jetty was also undertaken. The new spaces around the Bell Tower use key elements of the overall project design and provide new event and passive recreation spaces.

• Extensive works to improve the road network around the site and upgrade power, water and gas infrastructure to meet the needs of the future precinct and the wider CBD, were delivered in late 2013.

• The new Riverside Drive route marked the completion of a number of significant works helping to transform our city. These included the addition of a third lane in the Northbridge tunnel, increased lane capacity on the Mitchell Freeway, active traffic management and the introduction of a new Green CAT bus that will service Elizabeth Quay.

• A new citybound link was also constructed on Riverside Drive that allows motorists to travel under the Narrows Bridge connecting through to Mounts Bay Road.
