The Cook Labor Government today confirmed Home Fire will build the facility, with doors to open to host the first production in 2026.
The facility will support the Cook Labor Government's investment in the State's creative industries to diversify the economy, enabling Western Australia to become a larger screen industry player, grow local productions and attract more major projects.
The State will invest $233.5 million to construct the facility, with approximately 600 local direct and indirect new jobs to be created during its construction.
The facility will include four purpose-built sound stages and other onsite screen production facilities such as production offices, an art department and wardrobe, workshops, a backlot, parking and set storage.
A Problem and Opportunity Statement for delivery and operation of a screen production facility was released in an open market process by the State Government under the Market-led Proposals Policy, with Home Fire selected as the preferred proponent.
More information on the Market-led Proposal can be found on the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage website.
