Jointly funded by the Australian Government, WA Government and the City of Perth as part of the $1.7B Perth City Deal, in partnership with WA Cricket and Cricket Australia, project partners were on-site to commemorate this significant step towards delivering a revitalised WACA Ground.
The milestone was marked by a special ‘topping out’ ceremony held on level three of the new state-of-the-art building which offers sweeping views of the Perth CBD, Matagarup Bridge and Optus Stadium.
The City of Perth’s Deputy Lord Mayor Bruce Reynolds and CEO Michelle Reynolds joined WA Minister Sport and Recreation, Hon Rita Saffioti, Federal Member for Perth, Hon Patrick Gorman, and WA Cricket CEO John Stephenson to acknowledge what the new facilities will mean for our City.
