This page lists many of the landmarks in Perth, Western Australia. Landmarks comprise man-made structures, or natural features that command the horizon physically, or the cultural landscape, usually by historical or political significance.

CBD

  • Barracks Arch - At the west end of St Georges Terrace, symbolic historically due to the position between Parliament House and St Georges Terrace. It was the last remaining part of a large government building that was removed for the construction of the freeway just west of the Arch.
  • BankWest Tower - Features on the horizon when viewing Perth from distance, amongst a cluster of buildings that exist within the CBD.
  • Central Park Tower - The tallest skyscraper in Perth.
  • Council House - restored high modernist skyscraper set in the Stirling Gardens
  • Kings Park - A surviving piece of bushland adjacent to the city, with statues and war memorials.
  • Narrows Bridge - a major traffic bridge crossing the Swan River
  • Perth Arena - Entertainment and sporting arena.
  • Perth Convention Exhibition Centre, located in the CBD
  • Perth Mint - Australia's oldest operating mint, established in 1899 to mint gold sovereigns for the British Empire
