The State Government said pre-construction on the site, a former industrial waste dump in Burswood, had been completed. Mr Barnett said the final design should be revealed later this year when the final construction and operation contracts for the stadium were awarded.Ĭabinet has appointed the Confidem consortium as reserve respondents, should final negotiations with Weststadium fail. The Weststadium project was led by Brookfield Financial and John Laing.īrookfield Multiplex will head the construction side of the project while Brookfield Johnson Controls will manage facilities. "We're under budget but there's still negotiations to go, the exclusive negotiations, and there will be some tinkering with that, depending on any changes that might be made between now and that period," Mr Waldron said. Sports Minister Terry Waldron said price, design, and the precinct were all considerations in the choice of preferred tender. Stadium final design due to be revealed later this year The Weststadium bid's cost-estimate was below the Government's budget for the project, he said. He said construction on the stadium was due to start in December and be completed by 2018. "All going well, we would expect by mid-year, by the end of June, to have finalised all of the matters including contract, contract cost and so on." "There is still a little way to go, for the next two months there will be detailed contract negotiations with the Westadium consortium, that will look at some design features, some services, some contract details."
PERTH STADIUM DESIGN COMPETITION PLUS
"The state's evaluation team spent the past four months rigorously evaluating each bid and ultimately determined that Weststadium represented the best overall value for money for the design and construction phase plus the contract’s 25-year maintenance period," he said. Mr Barnett said while all three bids were "world-class", the Weststadium design represented best value for money. Premier Colin Barnett said the Weststadium bid fought off competition from two other designs for the Perth Stadium project, which is due to be completed in time for the 2018 AFL season. Last year they won a prestigious commission to expand the Viking Age Museum in Oslo, Norway – one of the country’s most popular museums – with a bold, circular design.A consortium led by Brookfield Multiplex has been revealed as the preferred bidder to build Perth's new sports stadium.

Designed to be a landmark for the lake and the new facility, the sculptural structure will resemble one of the forest’s soaring trees using vertical wooden slats to create an affinity with the rowing centre and to contrast with the horizontal lines of the spectator stands.ĪART Architects are enjoying something of a hot streak in design competitions.

The public will be encouraged to use the large ‘activity space’ surrounding the centre, in addition to a promenade square in front of the boat hall and a long stretch of nearby public parkland.Ī referee tower will also be constructed for the stadium, featuring an integrated climbing wall and pull-up bars for outdoor training.

“When moving around inside the building, one thereby has the sense of being situated in the field of tension between the lake and the forest – for example, both the foyer and the boat hall offer views into the forest and across the lake.” “The sloping landscape flows through the building and opens it up internally,” said the architects. The semi-transparent facade will “reveal its life to the surroundings”, while also providing a transition between the expansive view over the lake and the denser area of forest. This tiered structure, clad in timber, will extend from the stadium’s boat house. The focal point of the complex will be an open rowing centre from which athletes and members of the public alike can train, attend workshops, socialise and sign up for a variety of sports and activities. It shows that sport – for the elite and the public – is not just about strength and stamina, but also social well-being and mental health.” “It’s a sports centre that mixes various kinds of sports with social and scenic experiences. “It is much more than a Rowing Stadium,” AART said in a statement. 'Together with the Perth Waterfront, the City Link, the Perth Cultural Centre, the Riverside Development, and the Perth Arena, a new stadium will enhance Perths reputation as a world-class city with a range of entertainment options. The concept behind the studio’s winning design – which will be surrounded by water and forest on all sides – is that the “classical disciplines of rowing intersect with other forms of leisure.” 'To help us achieve this, there will be an international design competition to attract the best ideas. Danish practice AART Architects have won an international design competition to create Denmark’s rowing Stadium a new venue for both the public and elite athletes that will be situated on Bagsværd Lake, outside of Copenhagen.
