East End Revitalisation Program

The City has been working closely with Historic Heart to relocate the Historic Heart planter boxes currently found on Pier and Hay Streets to their new home on Murray Street. The planters will be moved by Respoke (designers and manufacturers) in May 2020 in preparation for the commencement of construction works.

Following a thorough tender process the City has awarded the construction of the East End Revitalisation to Georgiou Group. The City will provide a detailed review of programming to accelerate construction during this very difficult period. Construction is currently scheduled to commence in June 2020. More news and details will be released shortly.

A modernist interpretation of Perth’s graceful black swan and the winding Swan River is set to become an iconic feature of the City’s east end. Standing on the corner of Hay and Pier Streets as a visual draw card, Dr Jon Tarry’s concept Cygna (The Swan) will develop notions of cultural mapping, rivers and flight paths of birds.

Dr Tarry's interpretation of the artwork is of black swans articulating their necks with agility which, like the river, emerges as sculptural loop suggesting a connection down Pier and Hay Streets to the river.
