New premium hotel development earmarked for Perth

"The state government has retained the services of Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels to seek Registrations of interest for hotel/ mixed use development for the current FESA headquarters site on the corner of Hay, Irwin and Murray Street in the Perth," said AHA(WA) chief executive Bradley Woods.

"With well known high occupancy rates in the Perth CBD this is a welcome announcement from the state government.

"The support of state government together with changes to the planning laws and plot ratio requirements currently before the City of Perth, make this is a prime freehold site with excellent development potential well suited to a premium hotel.

"The property on the corner of Hay, Irwin and Murray Street Perth, the current FESA Headquarters, is a 7,350sqm site in close proximity to a number of the city's corporate headquarters, entertainment precincts and leisure amenities.

"The AHA envisages that the hotel will feature a substantial number of guest rooms along with the most modern facilities which business travellers and tourists now expect in a CBD hotel.
