About our Perth news

Latest news on Perth, covering Western Australia's capital city, events, weather, business, property market, tourism, entertainment and local government updates.

Perth, home to over 2.1 million residents, is Australia's fourth-largest city and the isolated capital of Western Australia. Situated along the stunning Swan River and bordered by the Indian Ocean, Perth combines urban sophistication with natural beauty, boasting more sunshine hours than most Australian cities and consistently ranking among the world's most liveable cities.

The city's economy continues to evolve beyond its traditional mining and resources base, with growing technology, renewable energy, and tourism sectors. Perth's property market has seen significant fluctuations, with current trends showing steady growth in both residential and commercial sectors. The City of Perth council has recently advanced several urban renewal projects aimed at revitalising the CBD and improving public transport infrastructure.

Perth's vibrant cultural scene features regular events at venues like RAC Arena, Optus Stadium, and the Perth Cultural Centre. The city's diverse communities celebrate through festivals such as the Perth Festival, Fringe World, and the Kings Park Festival. Locals and visitors alike enjoy the city's renowned beaches, including Cottesloe and Scarborough, alongside dining precincts in Northbridge, Fremantle, and the Swan Valley wine region.

Founded in 1829 as the Swan River Colony, Perth has transformed from a small outpost to a modern metropolis while maintaining connections to its colonial past and the 60,000-year history of the Whadjuk Noongar people, the traditional custodians of the land. Historical sites such as Fremantle Prison and the Perth Mint stand alongside contemporary landmarks like Elizabeth Quay and Yagan Square, reflecting the city's layered heritage.

Our NewsNow feed on Perth delivers comprehensive coverage of all aspects of life in Western Australia's capital. From breaking news and weather alerts to business developments, cultural events, and sports coverage, our constantly updated feed brings together the most relevant headlines from trusted sources. Whether you're a resident, visitor, or simply interested in this dynamic city, this feed is your essential resource for staying connected with Perth.
