Abstract

The East Perth Power Station has been the subject of a recent detailed investigation which identified the place to be culturally significant. The importance of the Power Station derives from its value as an educational site in the category of industrial heritage of local state and national significance. The Power Station is redundant and no longer in use; its future is uncertain notwithstanding the potential for conservation and interpretation. Located on a prime riverside site in an area currently being redeveloped from industrial to residential use, the Power Station presents an enormous challenge to a community which is not aware of its cultural value and unlikely to appreciate the effort that will be required to retain this relevant piece of industrial history. The East Perth Power Station is crucial to a proper understanding of the development of power generation in the State.
