The Zoo café and function centre are the first stages in the realisation of Perth Zoo’s masterplan 2040 to enable this world class tourist destination to continue to meet visitor and market expectations through the provision of such enhanced amenities and facilities. The design of both the function centre and the café embodies the zoo’s landscape and vernacular. Naturally ventilated open spaces with provision for conditioned air, strategic waste streams, dedicated sustainable initiatives and ample mechanical provisions for the commercial areas and the staff areas will render this facility a benchmark in commercial spaces and will enhance visitor experience.
