Elizabeth Quay is located at the Esplanade in Perth. I attended the inauguration of the new waterfront on the 29th of January, 2015. It is the new landmark feature in Perth, designed to connect the Swan River and the city. Development started in January 2012 and said to cost about $440 million. It is the home of many new attractions and leisure activities. It is still a work-in-progress in terms of property devlopment. Several hotels are yet to be built to complete the big picture.
For the opening night, there was plenty of entertainment and huge crowds. There is a new waterpark, featuring water spray at different time intervals. The area also accommodates several public art, a new promenade area and the new jetty. It is definitely a great place for the public to have a walk, as the view is amazing.
It is a great tourist attraction, especially since the Bell Tower is already a place of interest in Perth. The Bell Tower offers a sweeping view over the jetty. The ferry now starts from the inlet, now named Elizabeth Quay Jetty. It was formerly known as the Barrack Street Jetty.
The bridge offers a gorgeous view over the Swan River and the eight-storey art sculpture( in white).
At night, there was a light and laser show, every half hour from 8.00 p.m. It was quite impressive. The lights in the balls kept changing patterns and the water swirled and turned into jets. In addition, the Bell Tower, bridge and the waterpark feature all continually changed colour. I thorougly enjoyed the night and visit.
When I went to Bell Tower end of last year, the quay was still under construction. The change in those few months can be clearly seen. Here are some photos from the Bell Tower and Central Park.
