TDP Experience Perth - Tourism Western Australia

6) Secure the development of key arts and sports related infrastructure in the Perth region
Major stadia in Perth will contribute to attracting visitors as well as generating significant promotional value of WA through the hosting of international and national
rugby and soccer matches, Australian Rules Football and other sporting and entertainment events. In order to maximise the opportunities, meet the needs of a growing
population and a changing demographic, and to provide a high quality spectator experience to an international audience, separate facilities are required. For Rugby and
Soccer this necessitates a modern stand-alone International Standard rectangular stadium; for Australian Football an oval playing surface and modern infrastructure. New
and larger stadia of this nature will ensure Perth and WA receive high level exposure to the world while helping to strengthen WA’s case when pursuing entertainment and
sporting major events. It will put the State in a stronger negotiating position as a result of venues having increased spectator and ticket sales capacity.
