The revitalised PCC will connect the State’s major cultural institutions with inviting landscaped areas, enhanced shaded spaces and greenery, and accessible pathways — creating a more welcoming public space for families, tourists, and lovers of arts and culture.

A feature of the precinct will be improved amenities including a new large video screen, services for pop-up event food and beverage outlets and improved lighting for safely enjoying activities at the PCC during the evening

The PCC is managed by the Arts and Culture Trust and is home to iconic institutions including the Art Gallery of Western Australia, WA Museum Boola Bardip, State Library of Western Australia, State Theatre Centre of WA, the Blue Room Theatre, and the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts.

Celebrating the PCC’s rich history, stories and sense of place, the design was developed following close engagement with local First Nations representatives and community members who have played an important role in the precinct’s past.

Building works are due to get underway in January 2025. The WA Government is investing $45 million towards the project, with a $10 million contribution from the Australian Government.
