The largest surf park in the southern hemisphere with 150-metre-long waves will be built in Perth. There will be a choice in wave size and intensity from small beginner surf to hollow, barreling two-metre advanced waves, with “beast mode” the most challenging and dangerous level. The wave park will also have food outlets, a beach club and an entertainment hub.

The project has been given ‘’state significant’ status and will provide consistent and quality waves for Perth surfers. The state government and project proponent Aventuur have signed a 21-year lease agreement for the project, with the option to extend it for another 17 years.

Aventuur confirmed the price had blown out by $20 million to $100 million, to be funded by private equity, because of higher construction costs.

Aventuur hopes to be granted developmental approval in the next couple of months, with the first waves pumping through by the end of 2024 and open to the general public in early 2025.

It estimates the wave park will attract 300,000 visitors annually and contribute $250 million to the state economy over the life of the project.
