Brookfield consortium secures new Burswood stadium tender
By Jessica Strutt
Updated 22 minutes ago
A consortium led by Brookfield Multiplex has won the contract to design, build, and manage Perth's new sports stadium in Burswood.
The State Government is expected to reveal the final design for the stadium and surrounding sports precinct later this week, with Premier Colin Barnett likely to take a break from his holidays to make the announcement.
In April, Mr Barnett announced that a consortium called WESTADIUM, headed by Brookfield Multiplex, was the preferred bidder to undertake the stadium project.
The ABC understands that after weeks of negotiations, the Government has now finalised agreement on all terms and conditions of the contract, and as early as Thursday, plans to give the public its first look at the design of the stadium and the precinct.
The Government has promised the 60,000-seat stadium will have better and bigger seats than Subiaco Oval and sightlines as good as the MCG and Docklands Stadium – to ensure fans have the best view.
It is understood delivering on the sightlines commitment was one of the final sticking points as it negotiated the awarding of the contract.
It is also understood there will be LED lights on the outside of the stadium, allowing it to be lit up in team colours on game days.
There is expected to be a strong Indigenous theme to the design.
When announcing the preferred bidder selection, the Premier said full details of the cost of construction would be revealed when the final contract was completed.
Brookfield Multiplex built Wembley Stadium in London and Multiplex was founded in Western Australia by the late John Roberts.
Construction of the stadium is due to start in December and open in time for the 2018 AFL season.
Confidem and Evolution were the two other private sector consortia who put forward proposals to deliver the stadium project.

Cant wait for bigger detailed pics, looks good, not 100% sold on the white roof with the bronze facade, glass would be better utilised I feel.
