Burswood Peninsula
Burswood Peninsula is WA’s premier entertainment precinct, home to Crown Perth, Optus Stadium, Burswood Park, Belmont Park Racecourse and the State Tennis Centre. Nestled alongside the Swan River and just a short 3 kilometres from the CBD, the Peninsula is one of Perth’s most desirable residential areas, aided by the abundance of public transport available.
Landmarks such as Matagarup Bridge, which connects the Peninsula with East Perth, and new tourist attractions including the bridge climb and zip-line, are key catalysts for future growth in tourism and foot traffic in the area.
The long-term vision for Burswood Peninsula being a vibrant and diverse urban setting is aided by the Burswood Park masterplan and growing desire for residential development. Upcoming projections for the area see it absorbing much of the Town’s population growth.
