West Perth council approved a $4.8 million renovation of its aging arena to address urgent infrastructure needs and improve safety.
West Perth council approved a $4.8 million renovation of its 51-year-old arena, citing urgent infrastructure needs and the impracticality of a new build or major expansion.
The project, funded by grants, reserves, and a 10-year loan, will replace the roof, ice slab, boards, and refrigeration system, switch to a safer glycol-based cooling system, and relocate the refrigeration room for compliance and safety.
Construction may start in January 2026, with completion targeted for fall 2026, potentially affecting summer rentals but not current ice operations.
Council emphasized immediate upgrades are essential, while planning for future expansion continues.
Public support for upgrading the existing facility was strong.
