Summary, model-written

Carillon City opened in 1999 as a mall in Perth's central retail precinct and operated until 2021, when it was closed to enable redevelopment. As of April 2025 the centre remains mostly empty, with only a few stores facing Murray and Hay Streets, while planning approval for a mixed‑use hotel, housing and retail project was granted in 2025.

Why. The record states the centre was closed in 2021 for redevelopment; it does not cite anchor store losses, competition, debt or demolition as causes.

Where it stands. As of April 2025 the site is partially vacant with limited front‑age retail, controlled by Tattarang following its 2022 acquisition.

For a planner

  • Temporary cultural uses such as the 2024 Perth Festival wetland installation demonstrate capacity for interim activation.
  • Planning approval obtained in 2025 shows the entitlement process is complete for the proposed hotel‑housing‑retail mix.
  • Open questions include the phasing of construction, integration with the surrounding Forrest Place retail network, and any required infrastructure or streetscape upgrades.

For a developer

  • Site controlled by Tattarang; entitlement approved 2025 for hotel, housing and retail redevelopment.
  • Record does not provide site dimensions, parcel breakdown, or current ownership structure beyond the developer.
  • No information is given on flood risk, transit access, environmental constraints, or local market signals such as vacancy rates or rental comparables.

What we do not know yet

  • Key facts missing: exact site size, parcel boundaries, and current tenant mix beyond the few front‑age stores.
  • Financial details such as debt, acquisition price, or projected development costs are not in the record.
  • Environmental constraints (flood zones, contamination) and transit proximity are not stated.
  • The record’s verification status is “draft” and all origins are marked as extraction, indicating the data has not been reviewed for accuracy.

Background

Carillon City was a major Australian shopping centre in Perth, Western Australia. It was located in the middle of the Perth main retail precinct between the Hay and Murray Street malls, at the southern end of Forrest Place. It was linked to St Georges Terrace by way of access through Trinity Arcade and an arcade under Hay Street Mall. Walkways and a pedestrian overpass connected the Cultural Centre, public carparks, the adjacent Forrest Chase shopping centre and the rail and bus terminal with Carillon City.
