Major milestone achieved

1 February 2024

Following the appointment of PLAYCE to complete the detailed design of the future Youth Entertainment Space (YES) at Sutherlands Park, Councillors have now endorsed a key milestone in the project.

This week Councillors and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries endorsed the concept plans from the detailed design phase of YES, including the addition of a large shade shelter and the approved colour palette.

The shade shelter (which is approximately 23 metres wide and 130 metres long) will encompass coloured LED lighting, sports lighting and projector screens, it will be the first of its kind in the Perth metropolitan area to offer shade and coverage all year round .

The City is now progressing with the detailed design documentation required for tender and will be start early construction works onsite from May 2024.

We are currently anticipating that the Youth Entertainment Space will open in late-2024, complimenting the recently installed all-abilities playground and carpark.

The Sutherlands Park Youth Entertainment Space is one of the upgrades coming to Sutherlands Park following the adoption of the Sutherlands Park Master Plan.
