“This is a great opportunity for a business owner to make use of a historical Perth building in one of our most iconic precincts.”
The Hill Street Pump Station was one of three identical pumping stations designed by a Perth Works Department architect in 1912, with the other two in Mill Street and the Causeway.
The Water Corporation and the City of Perth will complete dilapidation works to preserve the heritage fabrics of the building, set for completion in June.
Expression of interest closes on April 28.
