Perth Park is a sports and entertainment precinct under construction in Burswood, Western Australia. The 28-hectare (69-acre) precinct comprises a 3.4-kilometre (2.1 mi) multi-use track, a 12,000-capacity outdoor amphitheatre, a multi-use event and indoor sports building, a hospitality venue, and landscaped parkland. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2027.

History

In June 2024 the Cook government announced its support to build a street circuit around Burswood, a suburb of Perth in Western Australia. The venue is proposed to replace Wanneroo Raceway as the venue for the Perth Super Sprint. Originally proposed to hold a round of the 2026 Supercars Championship, it is now proposed to be the first round of the 2028 season.

The proposed street circuit was an issue during the 2025 Western Australian state election, in which the Cook government retained office. The Town of Victoria Park has opposed the proposal, with the mayor claiming the government planned to move the Perth Motorplex from Kwinana, but has been dismissed several times. A new name for the precinct, Perth Park, along with design plans were announced in November 2025.

The project is expected to be completed in 2027 and cost A$218 million. Site establishment works began in February 2026. In May 2026, a consortium of Seymour Whyte, Civmec and Aurecon was awarded a contract to build the park.
