Major Perth Zoo upgrade underway as part of a $16.5 million construction program supporting approximately 380 jobs.

The Café and Function centre are the first projects to be delivered under the McGowan Government’s Perth Zoo Master Plan 2040 and are planned to be completed by mid-2023.

The café will create a new eating and alfresco area adjacent to the zoo’s main lawn, with the new function centre set to provide a much-improved space for events, functions, seminars and weddings.

Both projects are being built by local company Crothers Construction, supporting about 380 jobs during construction and sourcing materials from local suppliers.

These developments are the first to be delivered under the Perth Zoo Master Plan 2040, with the McGowan Government committing $51 million to deliver a series of projects over the next decade.

Planning is also progressing for a series of enhanced animal precincts including an expansion of the African Savannah, a new orangutan jungle, a network of overhead primate tunnels near the main lawn, and a state-of-the-art Conservation Science and Treehouse precinct.

These projects will feature cutting-edge designs and concepts that will consolidate Perth Zoo’s position as one of the best inner-city zoos in the world.
