Perth Arena, renamed RAC Arena in 2018, stands at 700 Wellington Street. Ashton Raggatt McDougall and Cameron Chisholm Nicol designed it. VenuesWest owns it for the Western Australian Government. Work began in June 2007, and it opened on November 10, 2012. It was the first stage of the Perth City Link redevelopment. The article names no style or materials.
The design is based on the Eternity puzzle. It has a retractable roof, 36 corporate suites, a 680-bay underground car park and five function spaces. Touring trucks can drive onto the floor. Capacity reaches about 15,000 for concerts.
The cost was A48.7 million, up from an estimate of about 50 million, and the Auditor General called the early estimates unrealistic. It hosts basketball, netball, tennis and concerts. The article gives no hours.
