The Perth and Tattersall's Bowling Club site in East Perth will be redeveloped to create the City of Perth's first ever dedicated multi-sports and recreation centre.
Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas today invited the local community to help shape the vision for the sport and recreation centre which will be built on the site in Plain St.
"Our population is growing rapidly and the community is crying out for more facilities that support a range of interests," Mr Zempilas said.
"The Bowling Club's current premises has reached end of life so now is the time to start planning for the future of the site and the precinct.
"To do this we are creating a Masterplan for the site and we want as many people as possible to let us know what they'd like to see included."
The Lord Mayor said the site presented an opportunity in a prime location that gives any development the advantage of river views and connection to the waterfront.
"This site is a gateway to our City and we have the opportunity to create something iconic that complements other developments underway or that are earmarked for the area such as the Causeway Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridge, and the Western Australian Aboriginal Cultural Centre," he said.
"I look forward to hearing what the community has to say and seeing our collective vision for this community hub come to life.
"When we talk about the community's aspirations for a more liveable, sustainable and prosperous City, this is one of those pivotal pieces that ticks all boxes and we want to make sure we do it the right way so it remains fit-for-purpose for decades to come."
