Perth Stadium located in Burswood adjacent to the Swan River, Armadale railway line and Graham Farmer Freeway. It is the main venue for AFL football replacing Subiaco Oval as the home ground of the West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Dockers for the 2018 season. It is also the venue for large-drawing cricket matches what were previously played at the nearby WACA ground. Under a sponsorship arrangement it is currently known as Optus Stadium.
The stadium seats around 60,000 spectators as an oval with the ability to be reconfigured for for a rectangular field with a capacity of 65,000. The development of the Burswood stadium was chosen over a potential redevelopment of Subiaco to a similar capacity ground in mid 2011 - the previous plan was the build in Kitchener Park and demolish the existing Subiaco Oval until theconcept was abandoned in early 2009. The Burswood site selection was made due to its lack of development constraints and the presence of the railway line enabling a large station and sidings to be constructed.
The stadium site was previously part of Burswood Park Public Golf Course which closed and the site was split between the stadium and an adjacent hotel development servicing nearby Crown Casino. Decades prior to that the stadium site was Goodwood Racecourse - located alongside current Belmont Park Racecourse both were privately developed before being taken over by the Western Australian Turf Club in 1945 and Goodwood was subsequently closed.

Underground entrance to new bus station in Wellington Street in the Perth city centre built as part of the Perth City Link project. It connects to the existing signalised intersection at William Street. It was not yet opened at the time of these pictures in June 2016.
Perth City Link is a major urban renewal project and involved lowering part of the Fremantle railway line west of Horseshoe Bridge where yards were formerly located and demolition of the former Perth Entertainment Centre built in 1974, replaced by Perth Arena.
The underground busport replaces the former Wellington Street bus station which opened in 1973 and also made way for the project.
Opening in 1974 and closing in 2002 the Perth Entertainment Centre was for many years the largest concert venue in the city (seating 8,003). It holds the record for "the largest purpose built regular theatre (containing a proscenium arch) in the world". It's been locked up and unused for 8 years and is soon to be demolished as part of the Northbridge Link project.
Perth City Town Hall, got this shot when I was on a Hop-on Hop-off tour Rooftop
Designed by Richard Roach Jewell and James Manning in the Victorian Free Gothic style, the hall was built by convicts and free men between 1868 and 1870. Its decorations contain a number of convict motifs, including windows in the shape of the broad arrow, and decorations in the shape of a hangman's rope. (Wikipedia)
