Perry Lakes Scoreboard (fmr), Floreat – proposed entry in the State Register

P25872 Perry Lakes Scoreboard (fmr), Floreat

Overview

The Heritage Council of Western Australia is currently considering whether Perry Lakes Scoreboard (fmr), Floreat should be included in the State Register of Heritage Places. The Council believes the place is likely to be of State cultural heritage significance as the only element remaining from the once expansive Perry Lakes Stadium complex, the centrepiece venue purpose-built as part of Perth’s hosting of the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games.

Perry Lakes Scoreboard (fmr) is valued for its association with the Games, one of the most significant events in WA in the post-WWII period. The Games form part of Western Australian’s social memories of the 1960s and marked the State’s ‘coming of age’ through hosting a major event on the international stage. Registration will celebrate this significant State story.

The surrounding apartment complex buildings (2016) are not included in the proposed registration and have no cultural heritage significance.
