Big changes underway at Perth Concert Hall

Check out the redevelopment works

April 2026

Take a look behind the scenes of the major works🎶

A snapshot of what’s happening onsite:

The northern forecourt is undergoing major demolition. Internally, most levels of the venue are being stripped, including carpets and timber panelling, with demolition progressing around areas of the Wardle Room, WASO’s former facilities and the ground floor entrance and reception.
Inside the auditorium, seats have been removed and the extensive process of removing the existing stage thrust continues, with the entire exterior of the organ now wrapped. Stay tuned for updates later in the year on where some of the original seats will find a new home.

Main works are now underway 🎶🏗️

Crews are on site as the redevelopment of the Perth Concert Hall continues.

To keep this iconic space safe during construction:

Protective panels are being installed around walls, pillars, the spiral staircase, the stage, wall lights, the elevator and escalators so these surfaces are not damaged during works.
The 3,000 pipe organ is being fully covered to protect the instrument.
The 10 metre Tom Sanders mural in the lower lobby has been carefully wrapped to safeguard the heritage artwork.
Jarrah panelling from ceilings and walls is being removed so it can be restored off site.
Bricks along the northern forecourt are being stripped in preparation for larger demolition activity.

Demolition of the southern forecourt complete 🔨

A major milestone complete in the venue’s exciting redevelopment. These works pave the way for upgrades that will transform the space into a world-class destination for music and performance.

Improved accessibility, new hospitality and event spaces, enhanced seating and sightlines, better backstage facilities and more, still to come.

Perth Concert Hall transformation is paving the way — literally 🚧

Through the Roads to Reuse initiative, demolition waste materials from the Concert Halls southern forecourt are being repurposed to help build better roads across WA.

This means crushed bricks and concrete are getting a new life while helping to keep our roads in top condition.

Participating in this initiative is one of the ways the Perth Concert Hall Redevelopment supports the sustainability goals of the Perth City Deal.
