Opening out to the sparkling Swan River / Derbarl Yerrigan, Elizabeth Quay / Goomup invites you in to relax and get to know the city at its most social, spiritual and scenic waterfront gathering place. This is Perth / Boorloo’s light-filled heart space, a bridge between the city and its deep connection to community, culture, land, river and sunny skies.
Space with a pace of its own
The city and river never rush through here. They come together to sit and watch the day glide by. Join them in this one-and-a-half hectares of inlet, island and riverfront gardens, walking or cycling the wide, accessible promenades and iconic arched s-bend of Elizabeth Quay Bridge. Take a virtual adventure on the Heart of Gold Discovery trail. Follow ancient storylines with a Nyoongar cultural guide. Or choose your vessel for a tour out on the water.
A city at play all day
There is wonder in every grammable moment shared on the quay. Little ones playing pirates on The Island Playground. All ages treating their inner child to a nostalgic ride on the Venetian Carousel. Imaginations drawn to a striking collection of unique public artworks and after-dark light installations. And friends gathering under the iconic Spanda sculpture for lunchtime sports and pop-up gaming, outdoor movies, live DJ sets, open-air concerts on the floating stage, markets, food festivals and more.
Sparkling served alfresco year round
Would you like a side of absolute riverfront-to-city views with your morning coffee? With a casual brunch on the boardwalk or a long, lazy lunch. An ice cream treat. A cold beer at an iconic brewhouse. Rooftop sunset drinks with cosy firepits on cooler evenings, or a luxe evening of fine dining. Don’t mind if you do.
Easy to enjoy. Enticing to stay.
Trains, buses, ferries and free CAT buses will drop you right beside the quayside throughout the day and after dark. There are even free public moorings if you choose to power your own way here. And with a string of seductive waterfront stays, you can wake and take in floor-to-ceiling quayside views in a fluffy robe.
