Origins and Early Development
Crown Perth began as Burswood Island Casino, a transformative project for Perth, converting a former landfill into a world-class destination. Opening in 1985, it marked Western Australia’s first casino and quickly expanded to include a hotel and entertainment venues, attracting both local and international visitors.
Expansion, Rebranding, and Architectural Highlights
The complex grew rapidly through the late 20th and early 21st centuries, adding hotels, sporting venues, and a convention center. In 2011, a major rebranding aligned it with Crown Melbourne, introducing a $750 million refurbishment and the addition of the ultra-luxurious Crown Towers in 2016. Today, the pyramid-shaped original building and the sleek lines of Crown Towers define Perth’s skyline, complemented by landscaped gardens and public art like the Swan Shell (Crown Perth Entertainment Complex).
