Major improvements are planned in some of the most visited areas within Kings Park and Botanic Garden.
Please be aware that some venues will be unavailable for weddings and event bookings until December 2009.
Saw Avenue
A refurbishment of the Saw Avenue Picnic Area is underway in conjunction with the Variety Club of WA. This work will occur late 2008 to mid 2009 which will affect the availability of power and cause disruption to the site. Bookings will not be taken for the Saw Avenue Precinct (Saw Avenue Lawn or Ernst Wittwer Playground) from 1 May 2008 to 30 June 2009 inclusive.
Fraser Avenue
The Fraser Avenue Ceremonial Walk Project will provide a safer environment for visitors in this popular tourism precinct and will enhance the dignity and significance of the State War Memorial. Read more about this project...
The originally planned construction period has been delayed and is now anticipated to be from March 2009 to December 2009. During this time there may be disruption to traffic flow and carparking in the vicinity of Fraser Avenue and the main carpark, including road closures and possibly reduced parking, and access to certain venues may be restricted to ensure your safety. Your patience and tolerance of these works is very much appreciated.
As the Authority is unable to ensure the usual high standards of access, parking, presentation and ambience within these areas, some restrictions on bookings will occur in the Fraser Avenue Precinct or the Botanic Garden Precinct from 1 March 2009 to 31 December 2009 inclusive. We apologise for any inconvenience the bookings restrictions may cause.
