The CBD, the business centre and Northbridge, the nightclub dominated area, are undergoing a change that's set to link them, in the hope that it will give Perth city a new vibrant heart. The first stage, a brand new entertainment and sporting precinct, was opened when the Perth Arena made its appearance in November 2012.
Having seen a great basketball game there I can agree with the majority that the new facility is excellent. Being impressed with this structure, I have been interested to see how the remaining elements are developing and whilst I still don't have a clear idea of what it will eventually look like, it is interesting to watch it grow.

| Looking down the concourse from the Horseshoe Bridge, the Perth Arena is in the background, centre right. |
As can be seen there is still a long way to go before completetion. It will need a lot of trees to soften the overall effect, because that is a lot of concrete.

As I have already stated I am not sure what the final vision is, but I can't wait to see it all complete. So with
Perth Link together with the Elizabeth Quay development, Perth may well and truly enter world city status and finally shake the large country town tag.
