I attended a conference here some years ago. Long walks between rooms made it a rush to get from one presentation to another. Sightlines were bad in some rooms, making it hard to view presentations of the many who rely on PowerPoint.

Over-priced and over-rated. Undercover parking is expensive.

the biggest architectural blight in Perth. A dark utilitarian blob from whereever you view it.

My youngest graduated from Murdock University and his cerimony was at the perth Convention Centre. A place I had seen from the road or whilst walking the bridges, but had never driven to. Well what an experience! Follow the signs from Riverside Drive and you head towards Nedlands, under the Narrows Bridge then around a round-a-bout to head back into... More

The PCEC has some nice elements - but it suffers from some gross architectural misjudgements. The building turns its back on the river, focussing instead on the Busport and an office complex. This is frankly bizarre, and makes the whole thing a lot more dark and anonymous than it should be. Also, the lobby fills quickly, resulting in a lot... More

A useful building supposedly, and no more a blot than the car park it replaced - but a pity they didn't use prime riverside land for something that would benefit from it.

Perth Convention Exhibition Centre is not a pretty building, but conveniently located, close to Perth bus ports and train station and not too far from the ferry. The convention Centre’s car park is competitively priced among Perth CBD other car parks. I attended numerous functions, including conferences, exhibitions, balls, etc. It’s functional, but it seems lots of space wasted on... More

If a concert is happening here, don't go. The acoustics are terrible. It is literally nothing more than a giant shed, and has all the echoes that go with it. The auditorium is quite decent, but overall this place could be avoided.
