Powered by our market leading Wavegarden technology, the largest surf park in the Southern Hemisphere is one step closer to starting construction with surf park developer Aventuur announcing it has signed a long-term ground lease agreement with the Western Australian Planning Commission.
Featuring a Wavegarden Cove surfing lagoon with 56-modules, the facility´s perfect waves will be complemented by accommodation, beach club, quality bars and restaurants, retail stores, casual workspaces, a health & wellness center, a high-performance surf academy, equipment hire store, regular events and high-quality landscaped amenities.
Aventuur’s project team is currently progressing the Development Application for the Perth Surf Park. Subject to approvals being received from the relevant authorities, the Perth Surf Park is expected to open to the public at the beginning of 2025.
“Our business model is proving to be a huge success with our clients around the world and this new Wavegarden facility, our 3rd in Australia, is very good news for all stakeholders, in particular, the surfers of WA,” said Fernando Odriozola, Wavegarden´s Chief Commercial Officer.
Located on Prinsep Road, Jandakot, adjacent to the Kwinana Freeway and Cockburn Central, the surf park is a short 25-minute drive from Perth´s CBD and airport. Offering authentic surfing, wellness and cultural experiences, this innovative venture will cater to local and travelling surfers, adventurers, experience seekers and families of all ages and abilities.
“It is great to see this exciting project, which will showcase Western Australia’s vibrant surfing culture, take a significant step forward with the lease agreement now confirmed,” said Minister Safiotti.
Commenting on the lease signing, Andrew Ross, Aventuur’s Chairman and Chief Development Officer said “I couldn’t be more excited about reaching this major milestone to deliver Perth’s first surf park, and the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, right here in Cockburn. It’s challenging to be a Perth surfer, due to limited access to quality conditions, crowded lineups and marine hazards. The Perth Surf Park will overcome these challenges, creating a world-class destination in WA that will provide opportunities for active recreation, tourism, sports development and job creation.”
“We’re excited for a surf park in Perth, as it will deliver more quality waves for Western Australian surfers, and create a new surfing destination in the West,” said Mark Lane, CEO of Surfing WA. “It will also offer a convenient location for people to try surfing for the first time, to learn and share the stoke with their family and friends. From a sporting perspective, it will provide junior and elite athletes with access to a built-for-purpose training environment that will push the levels of surfing performance. The Perth Surf Park will be a game changer for all levels of surfing – right on our doorstep,” he added.
