Another day, another wave pool. This one comes courtesy of surf park developer Aventuur, which just announced that a major investment will kickstart the company’s Perth Surf Park project.
The Perth Surf Park is a $120-million development located in the Central Cockburn suburb. The facility, which is expected to see up to a million guests per year, will feature a 5.4 acre Wavegarden Cove surfing lagoon. The pool boasts the standard suite of customizable waves geared towards different surfing abilities, but will also feature swimmable side shores – basically just an area for swimming away from the surfing, a new feature for Wavegarden.
According to the Aventuur press release, the company just secured an institutional investment from the Royal Automobile Club of Western Australia (RAC). This will go alongside investment from its existing project partner Wyllie. The influx of capital means that construction can begin later this year, with a public opening currently slated for late 2027.
“The Perth Surf Park represents the first major tourism attraction to be delivered in Perth (Western Australia) in over 25 years and is currently the single largest private investment in tourism infrastructure in the state,” said Aventuur Chair and Chief Development Officer Andrew Ross. “Both RAC and Wyllie have a long history of supporting tourism ventures, and their investment in this once-in-a-generation project is just the latest example of this enduring commitment to investing for the benefit of the Western Australian community.”
